Jesse McCartney Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everyone is sayin' I need to control
The way I'm acting
The things that I'm doin' ain't good for me
'Cause I know this time I'm really trippin'
I know that it's deeper than what I'm feelin'
And I realize she's bad for my health
She's got me in a daze she's got me in a trance
She's got me so thrown tonight no I need to recover
I keep falling back in love
And I know that this girl
She's not the one for me
And I know I'm only makin' it worse
When I let her go then I come on back every time I leave
Every time I leave every time I leave I keep comin' back
Every time I leave every time I leave every time I leave
I keep comin' back every time I leave
When I feel like she's out of that system of hers
Something pulls me in then I return to let her use me
I care not how she do me as long as she's around
In my mind I see that I'm slippin'
But I still can't seem to see the difference
My heart is sayin' yes to go
Body's sayin' no to it
I need to get a grip on this
She's got me in a daze she's got me in a trance
She's got me so thrown tonight no I need to recover
I keep falling back in love
And I know that this girl
She's not the one for me
And I know I'm only makin' it worse
When I let her go then I come on back every time I leave
Every time I leave every time I leave I keep comin' back
Every time I leave every time I leave every time I leave
I keep comin' back every time I leave
I keep falling back in love
And I know that this girl
She's not the one for me
And I know I'm only makin' it worse
When I let her go then I come on back every time I leave
Every time I leave every time I leave I keep comin' back
Every time I leave every time I leave every time I leave
I keep comin' back every time I leave
Every time I leave every time I leave I keep comin' back
Every time I leave every time I leave every time I leave
I keep comin' back every time I leave
