Just So You Know
Jesse McCartney · Right Where You Want Me [2006]
I shouldn't love you
But I want to
I just can't turn away
I shouldn't see you
But I can't move
I can't look away
And I don't know
How to be fine when I'm not
Cause I don't know
How to make the feeling stop
Just so you know
This feeling's taking control of me
And I can't help it
I won't sit around
I can't let him win now
Thought you should know
I tried my best to let go of you
But I don't want to
I just gotta say it all before I go
Just so you know
It's getting hard to
Be around you
There's so much I can't say
Do you want me to hide the feelings?
And look the other way
And I don't know
How to be fine when I'm not
Cause I don't know
How to make the feeling stop
Just so you know
This feeling's taking control of me
And I can't help it
I won't sit around
I can't let him win now
Thought you should know
I tried my best to let go of you
But I don't want to
Just gotta say it all before I go. (Just so you know)
This emptiness is killing me
I'm wonderin' why I've waited so long
Looking back I realize
It was always there
Just never spoke of
I'm waiting here
Been waiting here
Just so you know
This feeling's taking control of me
And I can't help it
I won't sit around
I can't let him win now
Thought you should know
I tried my best to let go of you
But I don't want to
Just gotta say it all before I go
Just so you know
(Whoa, Just so you know,
Whoa, Thought you should know)
I tried my best to let go of you
But I don't want to
Just gotta say it all before I go
Just so you know
Just so you know
But I want to
I just can't turn away
I shouldn't see you
But I can't move
I can't look away
And I don't know
How to be fine when I'm not
Cause I don't know
How to make the feeling stop
Just so you know
This feeling's taking control of me
And I can't help it
I won't sit around
I can't let him win now
Thought you should know
I tried my best to let go of you
But I don't want to
I just gotta say it all before I go
Just so you know
It's getting hard to
Be around you
There's so much I can't say
Do you want me to hide the feelings?
And look the other way
And I don't know
How to be fine when I'm not
Cause I don't know
How to make the feeling stop
Just so you know
This feeling's taking control of me
And I can't help it
I won't sit around

Just so you know
