The Little Things Lyrics
The little things you do to me
are taking me over
I wanna show you
everything inside of me
like a nervous heart that is crazy beating
My feet are stuck here
against the pavement
I wanna break free
I wanna make it
closer to your eyes
get your attention
before you pass me by
Back Up Back up
take another chance
don't you mess up mess up
I don't wanna lose you
wake up wake up
this ain't just a thing that you
give up give up
don't you say that I'd be better off
better off siting by myself wondering
if I'm better off better off without you boy
The little things you do need
are taking me over
I wanna show you
everything inside of me
like a nervous heart that is crazy beating
My feet are stuck here
against the pavement
I wanna break free
I wanna make it
closer to your eyes
get your attention
before you pass me by
Back Up Back up
take another chance
don't you mess up mess up
I don't wanna lose you
wake up wake up
this ain't just a thing that you
give up give up
don't you say that I'd be better off
better off siting by myself wondering
if I'm better off better off without you boy
don't just leave me hanging on
don't just leave me hanging on
The little things you do need
are taking me over
I wanna show you
everything inside of me
like a nervous heart that is crazy beating
My feet are stuck here
against the pavement
I wanna break free
I wanna make it
closer to your eyes
get your attention
before you pass me by
don't just leave me hanging on
Back Up Back up
take another chance
don't you mess up mess up
I don't wanna lose you
wake up wake up
this ain't just a thing that you
give up give up
don't you say that I'd be
don't just leave me hanging on

like a nervous heart that is crazy beating
My feet are stuck here

I wanna break free
I wanna make it
closer to your eyes
get your attention
before you pass me by
take another chance
don't you mess up mess up
I don't wanna lose you
wake up wake up
this ain't just a thing that you

don't you say that I'd be better off
better off siting by myself wondering

its about a girl and shes really into this guy. "the little things" he does to her makes her like him even more, and she wants him to see how much she likes him cause she wants to be with him.idk maybe they've tried being together before and it didnt work so she wants to try again? thats why she says: "don't you say that I'd be better off better off siting by myself wondering if I'm better off better off without you boy"
idk that part is kinda sketch to me.but yeah pretty much she just wants to get in his pants.....kidding.haha but no its a really cute song!!
i love her style. her lyrics flow so easy and her voice sounds so natural. i'm in love! it's so great to hear girl lyrics that aren't bubbly & poppy !!
yea its great to have a break from all that jessica simpson and gwen stefani style music. u can finally listen to someone with a great voice and just relax

Well...for this it reminded me of someone commiting suicide. Not like that is what shes singing about but, i very close friend of mine is trying to && i was crying && this song played && reminded me exactley of that. Like "this just isn't something you give up." You don't just give up life. Thats just how i see it.
I got this free from PureVolume.com in January, and also Anything At All (the duet with Tristan Prettyman). Then I was hooked! :P
She's a great artist and I love all she does.
i completely agree with the first explanation.. she has such a raw amazing voice i wish there were more artists like her
i love colbie's voice she sings amazing. and i love her songs they are very peaceful and just make u think of someone when u are listening to them
my fav. song on the album!
i think she feels like the guy she likes is holding her back, but at the same time she doesn't want to be without him. he's leading her on, "don't just leave me hanging on". she's so wrapped up in him, she is stuck on whether to move on or stay with him, not sure if the relationship is going anywhere. like when she sings, "don't you say that i'd be better off, better off, sleeping by myself and wondering if i'm better off, better off without you boy" i think that line is her talking to herself trying to tell herself to stop saying that she won't be better off without him.. this song reminds me of my relationship sooo much, finally i've figured out what is going on and i've realized that i'm not better off without him
