I got my ticket for the long way round Two bottles of whiskey for the way And I sure would like some sweet company And I'm leaving tomorrow What you say
When I'm gone (When I'm gone) When I'm gone.. You're gonna miss me when I'm gone You're gonna miss me by my hair You're gonna miss me everywhere Oh, you're gonna miss me when I'm gone
I hopped off the plane at L.A.X. With a dream and my cardigan Welcome to the land of fame excess, Am I gonna fit in?
Jumped in the cab, Here I am for the first time Look to my right and I see the Hollywood sign This is all so crazy Everybody seems so famous
My tummy's turnin' and I'm feelin' kinda home sick Too much pressure and I'm nervous, That's when the taxi man turned on the radio And the Jay-Z song was on And the Jay-Z song was on And theJay-Z song was on
[Chorus:] So I put my hands up They're playing my song, And the butterflies fly away I'm noddin' my head like yeah Movin' my hips like yeah I got my hands up, They're playin' my song I know I'm gonna be OK Yeah,Yeah,Yeah, it's a party in the USA Yeah,Yeah,Yeah, it's a party in the USA
I don't want to make a scene I don't want to let you down Try to do my own thing And I'm starting to figure it out That it's alright Keep it together wherever we go And it's alright, oh well, whatever Everybody needs to know
Chorus:
You might be crazy Have I told you lately that I love you? You're the only reason that I'm not afraid to fly And it's crazy that someone could change me Now no matter what it is I have to do, I'm not afraid to try And you need to know that you're the reason why
I don't even care when they say You're a little bit off Look me in the eye, I say I could never get enough 'Cause it's alright Keep it together wherever we go And it's alright, oh well, whatever Everybody needs to know
Chorus:
You might be crazy Have I told you lately that I love you? You're the only reason that I'm not afraid to fly And it's crazy that someone could change me Now no matter what it is I have to do, I'm not afraid to try And you need to know that you're the reason why
If it was raining, you would yell at the sun Pick up the pieces when the damage is done You say it's just another day in the shade But look at what a mess we made
Chorus:
You might be crazy Have I told you lately that I love you? You're the only reason that I'm not afraid to fly And it's crazy that someone could change me Now no matter what it is I have to do, I'm not afraid to try And you need to know that you're the reason why
Chorus:
You might be crazy Have I told you lately that I love you? You're the only reason that I'm not afraid to fly And it's crazy that someone could change me Now no matter what it is I have to do, I'm not afraid to try And you need to know that you're the reason why
Wish I could be the one The one who could give you love The kind of love you really need Wish I could say to you That I'll always stay with you But baby that's not me You need someone willing to give their heart and soul to you Promise you forever, baby that's something I can't do Oh I could say that I'll be all you need But that would be a lie I know I'd only hurt you I know I'd only make you cry I'm not the one you're needing I love you, goodbye I hope someday you can Find some way to understand I'm only doing this for you I don't really wanna go But deep in my heart I know this is the kindest thing to do You'll need someone who'll be the one that I could never be Who'll give you something better Than the love you'll find with me Oh I could say that I'll be all you need But that would be a crime
I know I'd only hurt you I know I'd only make you cry I'm not the one you're needing I love you, goodbye Leaving someone when you love someone Is the hardest thing to do When you love someone as much as I love you Oh I don't wanna leave you Baby it tears me up inside But I'll never be the one you're needing I love you, goodbye Baby, it's never gonna work out I love you, goodbye
When your looks don't work like they used to before And I can't sweep you off of your feet Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks
And darling I will be loving you 'til we're 70 And baby my heart could still fall as hard at 23
And I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways Maybe just the touch of a hand Oh me I fall in love with you every single day And I just wanna tell you I am
So honey now Take me into your loving arms Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars Place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
Maybe we found love right where we are
When my hair's all but gone and my memory fades And the crowds don't remember my name When my hands don't play the strings the same way
I know you will still love me the same
'Cause honey your soul can never grow old, it's evergreen Baby your smile's forever in my mind and memory
I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways Maybe it's all part of a plan I'll just keep on making the same mistakes Hoping that you'll understand
But baby now Take me into your loving arms Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars Place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud That maybe we found love right where we are
So baby now Take me into your loving arms Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Oh darling, place your head on my beating heart I'm thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are
Oh maybe we found love right where we are And we found love right where we are
