  • Hearts break too fast when they're sentimental
    Won't stay won't last when it's love at first sight
    So why are my convictions blinded by your spotlight

    Can't breathe can't sleep with some medication
    I'll kiss goodbye to my reservations
    I know there's other fish out in the sea
    Not for me
    I want you

    If I can't have you then I don't want anyone (I don't want anyone)
    If I can't have you then all the damage has been done baby
    You can break these rules if you wanna have some fun (if you wanna have some fun)
    Think of all the love that you will lose if I can't have you

    Heartbeat cold sweat thoughts slipping under
    Can't fight no threat 'cause there's just no use
    One look, no hesitation
    I'm slipping into you

    Forgive these eyes these lips you're tasting
    No time to waste on an invitation
    My shame my self control has suffered enough
    Everybody wants to be loved

    If I can't have you then I don't want anyone (I don't want anyone)
    If I can't have you then all the damage has been done baby
    You can break these rules if you wanna have some fun (if you wanna have some fun)
    Think of all the love that you will lose if I can't have you

    I haven't seen the best that love has had to offer
    They say perfection's always right around the corner
    Could be true
    But if I can't have you

    If I can't have you then I don't want anyone (I don't want anyone)
    If I can't have you then all the damage has been done baby
    You can break these rules if you wanna have some fun (if you wanna have some fun)
    Think of all the love that you will lose if I can't have you Writer/s: KELLY BRIANNE CLARKSON, RYAN B TEDDER

  • Denise from Chicago, IlListened to the whole disc & this song stood out immediately. It rocks and is my favorite by Kelly so far. Gets a party started!!!
  • Theresa from Murfreesboro, TnKelly's first dance track, it does sound like a Killers song.
