Kelly Clarkson - KC Lyrics Discussion #4 - 'I know that I've got issues, but you're pretty messed up too.' - Page 4

I love Cry on the album, but I have to admit I love it a lot more live. Kelly performing the song live, I think, adds a lot to the weight and emotion of the lyrics. It's beautiful.

I also love these lyrics from "Tip Of My Tongue" - How the hell is that a bonus track?! That should be a single IMO!!

Quote:

I know you're scared, yeah you've been burned
But I won't ever hurt you like that
If you'd take a chance I'm not like them

I love "I'm not like them"

**DanceWithLife** · 03-09-2009, 11:00 PM

I love the lyrics to that song. It seriously has single potential. I wish it had been a regular track on the album.

Does anyone have the full lyrics to that one?

Quote:

Never saw 'I Love You' as a trend
'Cause I don't really work like that
I mean what I say when it levaes my lips, oh
Nothin' you could say woyld change my heart
'Cause I don't really love like that
If you'd only let me in I'd show ya
But I'm tired of workin' so hard

You keep pushin' me away
Tearin' down your walls
Is forcing me to break
Don't know what to say will you ever let me in
It's hard for me to pretend
So tell me what you wanna do
Tell me is there any other way

'Cause goodbye's on the tip of my tongue
Tell me there's a rason to stay
Cause I'm about to get up and run
Better think about the words you say
If you don't wanna end up alone
Tell me is there any room for me
Cause when it's all said and done babe
I'm tired of singin', oh
Goodbye's on the tip of my tongue, oh
Goodbye's on the tip of my ...

Never confuse me with where you've been
Cause I don't really work like that
If I'm holdin you then I'm all in
I know you're scared, yeah you've been burned
But I won't ever hurt you like that
If you'd take a chance I'm not like them, them them

Give and get nothin' in return
You don't seem to care
You're not the only one who hurt
Tell me is there any other way

'Cause goodbye's on the tip of my tongue
Tell me there's a rason to stay
Cause I'm about to get up and run
Better think about the words you say
If you don't wanna end up alone
Tell me is there any room for me
Cause when it's all said and done babe
I'm tired of singin', oh
Goodbye's on the tip of my tongue, oh
Goodbye's on the tip of my tongue, oh
Goodbye's on the tip of my tongue, oh
Goodbye's on the tip of my...

Why ya gotta pull away
Pull away and leave me hangin'
Why ya gotta make me say
Don't make me say what you've been thinkin' all along

Ohohoh
Goodbye's on the tip of my tongue, oh
I'm about to get up and run

'Cause goodbye's on the tip of my tongue
Tell me there's a rason to stay
Cause I'm about to get up and run
Better think about the words you say
If you don't wanna end up alone
Tell me is there any room for me
Cause when it's all said and done babe
I'm tired of singin', oh
Goodbye's on the tip of my tongue, oh
Goodbye's on the tip of my tongue, oh
Goodbye's on the tip of my tongue, oh
Goodbye's on the tip of my

And I'm not sure if it qualifies as a lyric....but if it does then one of my fave lyrics is the "oooah" 3:13 in Already Gone....

That's a 100% Kelly right there!

my favorites from the album are whyyawannabringmedown and already gone.

already gone is so 150% all about graham it's a bit heartbreaking to hear. but it sounds like a clear response to many of his songs on his album especially the ones where he said he wishes he had done more to love her better.

Quote:

Already Gone

Remember all the things we wanted
Now all our memories, they're haunted
We were always meant to say goodbye
Even with our fists held high
It never would have worked out right, yeah
We were never meant for do or die

I didn't want us to burn out
I didn't come here to hurt you
Now I can't stop

Chorus:
I want you to know
That it doesn't matter
Where we take this road
Someone's gotta go
And I want you to know
You couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on
So I'm already gone

Looking at you makes it harder
But I know that you'll find another
That doesn't always make you want to cry
Started with a perfect kiss
Then we could feel the poison set in
Perfect couldn't keep this love alive
You know that I love you so
I love you enough to let you go

Chorus

I'm already gone
I'm already gone
You can't make it feel right
When you know that it's wrong
I'm already gone
Already gone
There's no moving on
So I'm already gone

Already gone x3
Oooo, oh

Already gone x3
Yeah

Remember all the things we wanted
Now all our memories, they're haunted
We were always meant to say goodbye

Chorus

I'm already gone
I'm already gone
You can't make it feel right
When you know that it's wrong
I'm already gone
Already gone
There's no moving on
So I'm already gone

bolded parts are clear graham parts.

^^ I agree with that assessment of Already Gone and its lyrics. I think when Kelly explained what the song was written about, it was a dead giveaway. It's a very sad and beautiful song.

DARKNESSBALL · 03-13-2009, 02:53 PM

which song was it again that kelly said she had them turn off all the lights in the studio because she was shy cause the song was so sexy?

MirageDurb · 03-13-2009, 03:03 PM

If I Can't Have You

DARKNESSBALL · 03-13-2009, 03:04 PM

thank you! i'll have to pay attention to the lyrics if they rendered kelly shy and all.

**DanceWithLife** · 03-13-2009, 08:27 PM

The lyrics to If I Can't Have You do have a sexiness to them.

I like those lyrics.

It's funny though that she requested for them to turn off the lights so no one could see her sing it in the studio. Wonder if she did that for Addicted too.

MirageDurb · 03-13-2009, 09:34 PM

She did mention in the Kara interview that she likes the lights off in the studio often when she's recording. Maybe it's a relatively common thing.

**DanceWithLife** · 03-13-2009, 09:40 PM

I like those little quirks of Kellys. The lights off in the studio, the barefoot thing. It's all part of why we love her.

I am in love with the lyrics to Already Gone... thanks for posting them! Andy, you mentioned Kelly explaining Already Gone's lyrics... Where'd you hear that?

DARKNESSBALL · 03-14-2009, 11:26 AM

kelly wrote impossible, right? i`m totally getting an rca vibe from the message in there.
