overshare
Written by Kelsea Ballerini, Josh Osborne, Jesse Frasure, and Tayla Parx
Momma says that I never met a stranger
Strange thing is everybody’s strangers
Guess I’ve just been walkin’ around with my foot in my mouth
Most of my life
Truth is conversations make me anxious
Even if we’re on a first name basis
Same story for the hundredth time and they roll their eyes
‘Cause it’s TMI
I overshare because I over-care about the person over there
Who’s completely unaware
That I overthink then I overdrink to overcompensate
Yeah I know there’s
Moments that I’m missin’ if I’d just shut up and listen
But silence makes me scared
So then I overshare
Like that time I was overserved on Broadway
Outside the bathroom cryin’ in the hallway
Tellin’ every girl that walked by never date a guy whose name starts with ‘A’
Or the night that I met somebody famous
I acted a fool so they’ll remain nameless
I showed Instagrams of my dog
Aired all of my laundry
Now I’m just the girl that overshared
I overshare because I over-care about the person over there
Who’s completely unaware
That I overthink then I overdrink to overcompensate
Yeah I know there’s
Moments that I’m missin’ if I’d just shut up and listen
But silence makes me scared
So then I overshare
Over overanalyzin’
Over all this over-tryin’
Maybe I should just stay quiet
But I can’t
Over overanalyzin’
Over all this over-tryin’
Maybe I should just stay quiet
But I can’t
I overshare because I over-care about the person over there
Who’s completely unaware
That I overthink then I overdrink to overcompensate
I know there’s
Moments that I’m missin’ if I’d just shut up and listen
But silence makes me scared
So then I overshare
So then I overshare
So then I overshare
So then I overshare -
club
Written by Kelsea Ballerini, Nicolle Galyon, and Jimmy Robbins
Yeah, I like my friends
Yeah, I like tequila
I like puttin’ on a dress
And dancin’ with my feelings
I could be the life of any party
I can play along with anybody
But sorry, I don’t wanna go to the club
I don’t wanna watch everybody around me try to hook up
And say stuff they don’t mean
And get drunk and get cheap
So what’s wrong with me
‘Cause I don’t wanna go to the club
I already know it ain’t worth it in the morning
And yeah I like the high
I just don’t like payin’ for it
I’m stressin’ over conversations
But now that’s anxiety that I’m erasin’
‘Cause lately, I don’t wanna go to the club
I don’t wanna watch everybody around me try to hook up
And say stuff they don’t mean
And get drunk and get cheap
So what’s wrong with me
‘Cause I don’t wanna go to the club
I don’t wanna wake up on the floor of a bathroom
Lookin’ at the stamps on my hand like a tattoo
Say I’m never doin’ that again if I don’t have to
And I don’t have to go to the club
So I don’t wanna go to the club
I don’t wanna go to the club
I don’t wanna watch everybody around me try to hook up
And say stuff they don’t mean
And get drunk and get cheap
So what’s wrong with me
‘Cause I don’t wanna go to the club
I don’t wanna wake up on the floor of a bathroom
Lookin’ at the stamps on my hand like a tattoo
Say I’m never doin’ that again if I don’t have to
And I don’t have to go to the club -
homecoming queen?
Written by Kelsea Ballerini, Nicolle Galyon, and Jimmy Robbin
Hey homecoming queen
Why do you lie
When somebody’s mean
Where do you hide
Do people assume
You’re always alright
Been so good at smiling
Most of your life
Look damn good in the dress
Zipping up the mess
Dancing with your best foot forward
Does it get hard
To have to play the part
Nobody’s feeling sorry for ya
But what if I told you the world wouldn’t end
If you started showing what’s under your skin
What if you let ‘em all in on the lie
Even the homecoming queen cries
Hey homecoming queen
How’s things at home
Still walking on eggshells
When that curtain’s closed
Did your daddy teach you
How to act tough
Or more like your momma
Sweep it under the rug
Look damn good in the dress
Zipping up the mess
Dancing with your best foot forward
Did you want the crown
Or does it weigh you down
Nobody’s feeling sorry for ya
What if I told you the world wouldn’t end
If you started showing what’s under your skin
What if you let ‘em all in on the lie
Even the homecoming queen cries
Yeah, what if I told you the sky wouldn’t fall
If you lost your composure said to hell with it all
Not everything pretty sparkles and shines
And even the homecoming queen cries
Even the homecoming queen cries
Hey homecoming queen
Why do you lie
When somebody’s mean
Where do you hide -
the other girl (with Halsey)
Written by Kelsea Ballerini, Ashley Frangipane, Shane McAnally, and Ross Copperman
I bet you’re from out West somewhere
Hazel eyes and dark brown hair
And everything you wear fits you just right
I bet you drink martinis dry
And never let him see you cry
I bet you’re more promiscuous than I
I bet you’re bold
I bet that’s why
You seem to occupy his mind
I bet you’re smart
But do you know about me
Is it me, is it you
Tell me who
Who’s the other girl
Who’s the first
Who’s the fool
Who’s the diamond
Who’s the pearl
Are you mad
Me too
And I wonder in his world
Is it me, is it you
Who’s the other girl
Who’s gonna put on the red dress
Scarlet letter on her chest
Can’t love with this on her conscience
Tell me who’s the other girl, girl, girl, girl
Are you the one he’s talkin’ to
When he gets up and leaves the room
And comes back with a distance in his eyes
Maybe I should be the one to leave
But damn when he starts lovin’ me
Makes me think I’m all that’s on his mind
Is it me, is it you
Tell me who
Who’s the other girl
Who’s the first
Who’s the fool
Who’s the diamond
Who’s the pearl
Are you mad
Me too
And I wonder in his world
Is it me, is it you
Who’s the other girl
Who’s gonna put on the red dress
Scarlet letter on her chest
Can’t love with this on her conscience
Tell me who’s the other girl, girl, girl, girl
I bet you’re cool
I bet that’s why
You seem to occupy his time
I bet by now
You know about me
You know about me
Is it me, is it you
Tell me who
Who’s the other girl
Who’s the first
Who’s the fool
Who’s the diamond
Who’s the pearl
Are you mad
Me too
And I wonder in his world
Is it me, is it you
Who’s the other girl
Who’s gonna put on the red dress
Scarlet letter on her chest
Can’t love with this on her conscience
Tell me who’s the other girl, girl, girl, girl -
love me like a girl
Written by Kelsea Ballerini, Lauren Grieve, Ross Copperman, Hillary Lindsey, and Jordan Minton
Sometimes I don’t like what’s in the mirror
Uncomfortable standin’ in my skin
Yeah sometimes I feel a little broken
Doesn’t mean I need to be put together again
So when I’m cryin’
Baby let me cry
Don’t fix it
Don’t try to make it right
I wish you could love me like a girl
I wish you could love me like a girl
‘Cause my friends, they don’t hurt me baby not like you
Yeah I wish you could know me baby like they do
I wish you could get inside my head
Baby maybe then you’d understand
Why I wish you could love me like a girl
I know you don’t mean to be insensitive
And I know you’re never tryin’ to brush me off
The truth is me and you, we’re wired different
So it makes sense sometimes we get crossed
So when I’m cryin’
Baby pour some red
When you want to kiss it better
Listen instead
I wish you could love me like a girl
I wish you could love me like a girl
‘Cause my friends, they don’t hurt me baby not like you
Yeah I wish you could know me baby like they do
I wish you could get inside my head
Baby maybe then you’d understand
Why I wish you could love me like a girl
I wish you could love me like a girl
I love the way you make me feel like I’m safely
In the palm of your hand
And I love the way you hold me in the dark, babe
Yeah just like a man
But I wish you could love me like a girl
I wish you could love me like a girl
‘Cause my friends, they don’t hurt me baby not like you
Yeah I wish you could know me baby like they do
I wish you could get inside my head
Baby maybe then you’d understand
Why I wish you could love me like a girl -
love and hate
Written by Kelsea Ballerini, Ed Sheeran, and Ross Copperman
There’s a thin, thin line between love and hate
Between a heart that’s whole and a heart that breaks
Between endin’ the world or savin’ the day
There’s a thin, thin line between love and hate
We used to be so happy, didn’t we
We used to say that forever’d be easy
But the day that you lied, I felt it all change
I crossed that thin, thin line between love and hate
Now there’s a thin, thin line between you and me
Between what this is now and what we used to be
The one that you choose to the one that you cheat
Now there’s a thin, thin line between you and me
We used to be so happy, didn’t we
We used to say that forever’d be easy
But the day that you lied, I felt it all change
I crossed that thin, thin line between love and hate
We used to be happy
Now there’s a thin, thin line between love and hate
Between a heart that’s whole and a heart that breaks
We used to be so happy, didn’t we
We used to say that forever’d be easy
But the day that you lied, I felt it all change
I crossed that thin, thin line between love and hate
We used to be happy
Forever’d be easy
We used to be happy -
bragger
Written by Kelsea Ballerini, Shane McAnally, Jimmy Robbins, Nicolle Galyon, and Ross Copperman
He’s got the look
He’s got the touch
He’s got the eyes that make me crush
And he’s not one to make a scene but he deserves the spotlight
He ain’t from ‘round
This side of town
But he fits in to every crowd
And he knows how to do my body and my heart right
I know a lady should always be modest
But I’m just bein’ honest
I don’t wanna be a bragger
But my man’s a heart attacker
Like McConaughey and Jagger
Hotter than a Saturday night
I can’t help it that I flaunt him
(all the time)
I understand why you would want him
(I don’t mind)
And you can keep up all the chatter ‘bout my happy ever after
‘Cause all that really matters is he’s mine
I’ve got his nights
I’ve got his name
There ain’t no shame in this girl’s game
If he were yours, you’d do the same without apologizing
And he’d never tell you he don’t want attention
But he’s just too damn good not to mention
I don’t wanna be a bragger
But my man’s a heart attacker
Like McConaughey and Jagger
Hotter than a Saturday night
I can’t help it that I flaunt him
(all the time)
I understand why you would want him
(I don’t mind)
And you can keep up all the chatter ‘bout my happy ever after
‘Cause all that really matters is he’s mine
If he were a wine, he’d be the shelf at the top
If he were a house, he’d be the end of the block
Walked up to my heart and went knock, knock, knock
So I’ve got to show him off
I don’t wanna be a bragger
But my man’s a heart attacker
Like McConaughey and Jagger
Hotter than a Saturday night
I can’t help it that I flaunt him
(all the time)
I understand why you would want him
(I don’t mind)
And you can keep up all the chatter ‘bout my happy ever after
‘Cause all that really matters is he’s mine -
hole in the bottle
Written by Kelsea Ballerini, Steph Jones, Hillary Lindsey, Jesse Frasure, and Ashley Gorley
It ain’t my fault
So don’t blame me
I swear I just came here to unwind and have one drink
The way it looks
Ain’t what you think
This cabernet has a way of vanishin’ on me
There’s a hole in the bottle
Leakin’ all this wine
It’s already empty and it ain’t even suppertime
Honey no I don’t miss him
In fact, it slipped my mind
There’s a hole in the bottle of wine
I keep my cool
Play by all the rules
I swear ten minutes ago that bottle was full
I won’t cry
About love gone wrong
‘Cause tears would water down this ruby red I’m sippin’ on
There’s a hole in the bottle
Leakin’ all this wine
It’s already empty and it ain’t even suppertime
Honey no I don’t miss him
In fact, it slipped my mind
There’s a hole in the bottle of wine
I went and got a new one
‘Cause the other one was broken
Now this one’s halfway gone
And it’s barely even open
There’s a hole in the bottle
Leakin’ all this wine
It’s already empty and it ain’t even suppertime
Honey no I don’t miss him
In fact, it slipped my mind
There’s a hole in the bottle of wine
You may ask me where it’s goin’
But I can’t even find
The hole in the bottle of wine -
half of my hometown (feat. Kenny Chesney)
Written by Kelsea Ballerini, Shane McAnally, Ross Copperman, Jimmy Robbins, and Nicolle Galyon
Half of my high school got too drunk
Half of my high school fell in love
With the girl next door
In their daddy’s Ford
Half of my main street’s mini skirts
Half of my main street’s dressed for church
It could use some rain
And a fresh coat of paint
Half of my hometown’s still hangin’ around
Still talkin’ about that one touchdown
They’re still wearin’ red and black
Go Bobcats, while the other half
Of my hometown they all got out
Some went north
Some went south
Still lookin’ for a feelin’ half of us ain’t found
So stay or leave
Part of me will always be
Half of my hometown
Half of our prom queens cut their hair
Half of them think that it ain’t fair
The quarterback moved away and never came back
Half of my family is happy I left
The other half worries I’ll just forget
Where I came from
Same place where they came from
Half of my hometown’s still hangin’ around
Still talkin’ about that one touchdown
They’re still wearin’ red and black
Go Bobcats, while the other half
Of my hometown they all got out
Some went north
Some went south
Still lookin’ for a feelin’ half of us ain’t found
So stay or leave
Part of me will always be
Half of my hometown
Half of my hometown
Backroads raise us
Highways they take us
Memories make us want to go back
To our hometown, settle down
Talk about that one touchdown
Raise some kids in red and black
Go Bobcats, while the other half
Of my hometown was in the crowd
They knew the words
They sang them loud
And all I wanna do is make them proud
‘Cause half of me will always be
Knoxville, Tennessee
My hometown
My hometown -
the way i used to
Written by Kelsea Ballerini, Steph Jones, Cass Lowe, Marcus Lomax, Samuel George Lewis, Julian Bunetta, and Ian Kirkpatrick
(In the way, in the way)
In the way I used to
Friday night I’m paranoid
Faded out like Polaroids
Liquid courage in my veins right now
I always hit you up when
There’s too much in my cup yeah
That’s when those memories start gettin’ loud
I didn’t mean to write a song about you
But a couple shots and all the words pour out
I swear I’m doin’ better off without you
So I don’t know why but I wanna find out
Does somebody love you
In the way I do
I mean the way I used to
Does somebody touch you
In the way I do
I mean the way I used to
I know it’s three in the mornin’
It’s tequila talkin’
Damn your voice is all up in my head again
Does somebody love you
In the way I do
I mean
Still postin’ all your pictures
Damn I wish you looked different
Without that sorry look all in your eyes
And yeah you made me crazy
Do I miss you well maybe
Or am I drunk on the idea tonight
I didn’t mean to write a song about you
But a couple shots and all the words pour out
I swear I’m doin’ better off without you
So I don’t know why but I wanna find out
I wanna find out
Does somebody love you
In the way I do
I mean the way I used to
Does somebody touch you
In the way I do
I mean the way I used to
I know it’s three in the mornin’
It’s tequila talkin’
Damn your voice is all up in my head again
Does somebody love you
In the way I do
I mean the way I used to
(In the way, in the way)
In the way I used to
(In the way, in the way)
In the way I used to
And damn your voice is all up in my head again
Space between us don’t stop me from wonderin’
I didn’t mean to write a song about you
No, no, here we are though
And now I gotta know
Does somebody love you
In the way I do
I mean the way I used to
Does somebody touch you
In the way I do
I mean the way I used to
I know it’s three in the mornin’
It’s tequila talkin’
Damn your voice is all up in my head again
Does somebody love you
In the way I do
I mean the way I used to
Ignore me
It’s just tequila talkin’
Ignore me
It’s just tequila talkin’ -
needy
Written by Kelsea Ballerini, Ross Copperman, and Julia Michaels
I like my Fridays all alone
With no reason to check my phone
My friends are out and I think nothin’ of it
Content with myself on my own
But now I look in your eyes every day, every night
I think about you all the time, yeah you got me like
Who am I
If touchin’ you’s gonna make me easy
That’s okay ‘cause I don’t want space
If not sayin’ enough’s gonna make you leave me
I swear to God I’ll talk all day
You’ve never needed anybody but now you need me
I was the same
But things have changed
I’m needy, I’m needy
Want every moment that you’re free
And then I miss you when you leave
I bet your momma probably thinks I’m selfish
Look at what you’ve done to me
Now I look in your eyes every day, every night
I think about you all the time, yeah you got me like
Who am I
If touchin’ you’s gonna make me easy
That’s okay ‘cause I don’t want space
And I say it enough, it‘s gonna make you leave me
I swear to God I’ll talk all day
You’ve never needed anybody but now you need me
I was the same
But things have changed
I’m needy
I know how it sounds but I don’t, I don’t care no
I know how it sounds but I don’t, I don’t care no
I know how it sounds but I don’t, I don’t care no
I know how it sounds
If touchin’ you’s gonna make me easy
That’s okay ‘cause I don’t want space
And I say it enough, it‘s gonna make you leave me
I swear to God I’ll talk all day
You’ve never needed anybody but now you need me
I was the same
But things have changed
I’m needy -
a country song
Written by Kelsea Ballerini, Nicolle Galyon, and Jimmy Robbins
When I need to put my feet back on the ground
I go back to my hometown
When I need a night to act my age
Me and my friends stay out too late
And when I need to feel good in my skin
I drop everything and run to him
When nothin’ makes sense but I need to talk
That’s when I call my mom
But I wanna write a country song
When nothin’s gentle on my mind
And I’m needin’ somethin’ strong
And I’m almost out of wine
When I get so lonesome
My truth gets told some whether it’s right or wrong
I stay up all night
Done it my whole life
Sometimes you gotta write
A country song
Got me through the drama with my ex
The first time that I had sex
The day the word divorce got really real
My first year in Nashville
Maybe it’s ‘cause of my raisin’
What my parents were playin’
But when I feel my heart breakin’
No hesitation
I go and write a country song
When nothin’s gentle on my mind
And I’m needin’ somethin’ strong
And I’m almost out of wine
When I get so lonesome
My truth gets told some whether it’s right or wrong
I stay up all night
Done it my whole life
Sometimes you gotta write
A country song
About love, about lies, about my baby’s truck
Real life, that’s the stuff
Yeah first kiss, last call, bad breakin’ ups
My life, that’s what
Makes me write a country song
When nothin’s gentle on my mind
And I’m needin’ somethin’ strong
And now I’m out of wine
When I get so lonesome
My truth gets told some whether it’s right or wrong
It gets me every time
Story of my life
There ain’t nothin’ like
A country song
About love, about lies, about my baby’s truck
Real life, that’s the stuff
A country song
First kiss, last call, bad breakin’ ups
My life that’s what -
la
Written by Kelsea Ballerini
I’ve got a love and hate relationship with LA
Off the plane, paint my face in the car, park my heart at the valet
I watch the sun sink down over Santa Monica Boulevard when I’m lonely and I’m missin’ home
But other times I feel like my blood is runnin’ Cali
I’ve got some famous friends that I could call
But I don’t know if I’m cool enough
And what’s worse than spendin’ time alone
Is one of them not pickin’ up
It’s hard to grow and time to go
But some days I wanna stay
I’ve got a love and hate relationship with LA
I wonder if I’ll get invited to the party
Yeah and if I do, will I go
If I go, will I know somebody
I’m on my third glass of wine tryin’ to find conversation in a room with bigger names
But other days I’m lookin’ up the real estate
Confetti’s fallin’, friends are callin’, saw me on the TV
But if I let down my hair in the ocean air, will Tennessee be mad at me
Yeah I know it ain’t a one-way road
But sometimes it feels that way
I’ve got a love and hate relationship with LA
Sometimes it feels like it’s all real but nothin’ here is as it seems
I ask myself does it feed my soul or my anxiety
Carpet’s red, ego’s fed, but it’s myself that I have to face
I’ve got a love and hate relationship with LA
I’ve got a love and hate relationship with LA
I’ve got a love and hate relationship with LA
I’ve got a love and hate relationship with LA
I’ve got a love and hate relationship with LA
