Just So You Know

Just so you know, this feeling's taking control of me...

With the advent of my new iPod, my music library has expanded quite considerably. I am no longer content with just listening to songs that I "accidentally" encounter. Instead, I search for the newest songs out there and download them! I am definitely trying to catch up with the times.

One of the more recent songs I heard (and ultimately loved) was Jesse McCartney's Just So You Know. I've always pegged Jesse as Aaron Carter's competitor, but with this song, he proved me wrong. He is so much more mature than Aaron could ever attempt to be. You know what? The song actually touched me. The beat and the melody may be pop, but the beat and the melody betray the meaning of the song's lyrics. Listen to it, and you'll see what I mean.

You can check out the lyrics below.



I shouldn't love you but I want you
I just can't turn away
I shouldn't see you but I can't move
I can't look away

I shouldn't love you but I want you
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 a feeling stop

[Chorus:]
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've 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 a feeling stop

[Chorus]

This emptiness is killing me
And I'm wondering why I've waited so long
Looking back I realize
It was always there just never spoken
I'm waiting here...been waiting here

[Chorus]
