Love Bug

It all started out when I went to District 5 with my good friend Osama
Saturday night, we got there at 9, taking in the great panaroma
A lot of rednecks and preps walking in and going to the bar
Our waitress then came, said her name, and stole my lonely heart
Sarah is her name
Then Osama orders some shooters, waiting for the club scene to start
Sarah then says she'll be back after work and take some shots with us
Goodness, what a gal
I like her smile
I know if I had her I'd be so happy and proud
Oh no, here I go again
By now, I should be wearing love repellent
I got bit by the love bug, I got bit by it
She gives my heart a good tug, goodbye all my wit
I got bit by the love bug, I got bit by it
I can't tell if it's real love or just the spirits
So Sarah is her name and we quickly found out that she's got fame in this place
All the guys in the club are watching her and there's one drunk person yelling
I'm yelling 'cause she's doing flips in the air with a random dude, like what?
I asked the bartender, "Is this a movie?" She says, "No, that's what Sarah does" (Just my luck)
Sarah is her name and ooh, I feel the sting
I got bit by the love bug, I got bit by it
She gives my heart a good tug, goodbye all my wit (bye, bye)
I got bit by the love bug, I got bit by it
I hope that it's real love, not the spirits
2am, they kick us out, we're the last ones to leave
I say to Sarah, "You're so pretty" and she happily hugs me (alright)
She says, "I love you"
I think, "Yeah, right. She probably tells that to every guy."
Sarah and I say, "goodbye," and Osama gives Sarah his hoodie (nice move)
Osama and I get in his cool car and I make a mess on the side
Some weird guy then moons me and I think, "What a crazy night"
I say, "I'm so sorry, Osama." But he says, "No, it's cool. I'll take my car to the shop, no problem, before we go back to school."
Osama and I talk about Sarah 'til we reach my house
I can't move so we sleep there 'til the sun comes out
He puts on my music and we start laughing about the music and the hoodie situation (yeah, nice move, man)
But oh, I miss you already, Sarah
You're so pretty and lovely
Your smile alone makes me wanna sing
I got bit by the love bug, I got bit by it
I can't stop thinking of that cute waitress
I got bit by the love bug, I got bit by it
I can't seem to forget her since we split
Love, love, love, by the love bug
Love, love, love, by the love bug
Love bug, OW!

It Kills Me

I know, yeah I know
I saw, saw him close
I hate that it looks so easy for you to cheat on me
You've changed and not in a good way
Was it easy to leave me?
Am I just not good enough? (I don't know 'cause I'm alone)
All I wanted was your love (I miss you so much)
Am I asking for too much? Maybe
But seeing you with him just kills me
Yeah, it kills me
You know, yeah, I know you know
Your knife cuts me slow, yeah
Oh, how will I heal and get over you?
Just tell me the truth
Am I just not good enough? (how can I be enough for you?)
All I wanted was your love (Please, just tell me what to do)
Am I asking for too much? Maybe
But seeing you with him just kills me
Yeah, it kills me
I thought we were meant to be
Do you ever think of me?
Oh, how things change
Oh well, another one bites the dust
I'll have to learn all over how to trust
Am I just not good enough? (good enough, oh yeah)
I've been always fighting for your love (I want your love), just your love
Am I asking for too much? Maybe
But seeing you with him just kills me
Spend all my nights alone feeling empty
And it kills me
Yeah, it kills me

Love Ya, Nashville

Standing in the back of the Bluebird
Feeling all the drinks I incurred
It's that kind of day, it's that kind of day
Locking myself in the bathroom
Hyperventilating 'cause I don't want to be making a certain sound
Everyone can hear around
Legendary songwriters on the other side
Hope they don't hear me let out what's inside
My first day in Nashville turned out to be quite, yeah, quite a doozy
But still, yeah still, I love Nashville
The next day I go to a music store and I see a dude looking at humidifiers
I know that hair, yeah I know that hair
He walks past me and I ask, "Jason?" and he says, "yeah, that's me"
And I think, "oh man, it's Jason "Slim" Gambill, the guitarist of Lady Antebellum, stay cool, John"
Oh, Nashville turned out to be completely different than I thought it'd be, so easy to meet celebrities and be called "John Mayer"
I love this place, don't wanna go, but I have to get home 'cause I gotta graduate says Momma, says Momma
3 days in, I can't stand my parents, wanna hang with someone that's not my parents
So I get on Tinder and match with a pretty girl
We go to Acme and listen to Jazz
I can't believe the fact that I'm with a girl so amazing
She's so amazing
Oh, what happened next, don't wanna say 'cause my parents might be listening
Oh, Momma, don't worry, nothing happened
Well, except that I have a girlfriend now and I never, ever, ever, wanna leave this town
This place is magic, it''s the best place around
I love Nashville
Love ya, Nashville
Love ya, Nashville
And I love my girl
Love ya, Nashville

Forrest Gump

I never was the most witty
I was 'a scared of the smart and pretty
So I bought new clothes, styled my hair, and got out there
Met some ladies
Went to a cool and happening city
Met a girl more than just pretty
She'd turn out to be my first love, my Jenny to my Forrest Gump
'S only one girl in the world
Makes my head spin 'round and swirl
She is all I want and nothing more
There's some things that really confuse me and some ideas that totally lose me
But one thing I know is I ain't a smart man, oh no, but I know what love is
There were times I often wondered, "Will love ever pull me under?"
I'm so glad that we matched and found each other
Life's like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get
How I got with her, oh, I'll never know
Oh, I'm so in love with the one girl in the world
Makes my heart spin 'round and swirl
She is all I want, nothing more
There's some things that really confuse me and some ideas that totally lose me
But one thing I know is I'm ain't a smart man, oh no, but I know what love is
I came alive that first night when I saw her
I knew I'd be alright the moment I met her
There's only one girl in the world
Makes my heart spin 'round and swirl
She is all I want and nothing more
There's some things that really confuse me and some ideas that totally lose me
But one thing I know is I ain't a smart man, oh no, but I know what love is
Yeah, I know what love is
I love, I love, I love, oh yeah, my Jenny
My Jenny, ooh
