Right Where You Want Me
Jesse McCartney Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've never felt the need to lose control
Always held on back and played it slow, but not this time
Baby, don't be gentle, I can handle anything
Baby, take me on a journey, I've been thinkin' lately
I could use a little time alone with you
Crazy, let's do something maybe, please don't take your time
Ooh, right where you want me, woah, woah
Girl, I'm gonna let you have your way with me
But when you move like that it's hard to breathe
I never thought that it could be like this, but I was wrong
Baby, don't be gentle, I can handle anything
Baby, take me on a journey, I've been thinkin' lately
I could use a little time alone with you
Crazy, let's do something maybe, please don't take your time
You got me right where you want me
Can't explain it, how you swept me
Off my feet unexpectedly, in slow motion
My imagination's on me, tryin' to keep my body still
Oh, I can hardly stand the thrill, yeah
Well, baby, don't be gentle, I can handle anything
Baby, take me on a journey, I've been thinkin' lately
I could use a little time alone with you
Crazy, let's do something maybe, please don't take your time
You got me right where you want me
Baby, take me on a journey, I've been thinkin' lately
I could use a little time alone with you
Crazy, let's do something maybe, please don't take your time
You got me, whoa, you got me right where you want me
Right where you want me
You got me, whoa, right where you want me, woah
In Jesse McCartney's song "Right Where You Want Me," he sings about being willing to let go and give in to a girl's desires for the first time. He admits that he's usually cautious and holds back, but this time he's ready to take a chance and be led by her. He's open to experiencing new things and is ready for a journey with her. McCartney is not afraid to surrender completely to her, letting her have her way with him. He describes how she swept him off his feet, and he can barely contain his excitement and thrill.
The chorus, "Baby, take me on a journey, I've been thinking lately, I could use a little time alone with you, Crazy, let's do something maybe, please don't take your time, You got me right where you want me," shows how he's ready to experience the unknown with her. He's ready to let her take him on an adventure and be in charge of the experience. McCartney is ready to submit to her desires and is enjoying the fact that she has him right where she wants him.
This song is about taking chances and letting go of control. It's a story of a person who has been cautious their whole life, but that one special individual can make them throw all caution to the wind. It's a song about stepping out of one's comfort zone and trying new things with someone who means everything to them.

Yo, imagine if this song came out now. It definitely would have been at the top of the charts. That is, if people still remember good taste in music 😏

Him and Hilary Duff and pretty much every other Disney singer from the early 2000's bring me back to a point in my life where I wasn't clinically depressed. Feels good.
