Kelly Clarkson’s Comeback Single: Time To Scrutinize The Lyrics

noah | January 5, 2009 1:30 am

Are the lyrics to “My Life Would Suck Without You” about an ex-lover (“Cuz we belong together now / Forever united here somehow”), or Clive Davis (“You got a piece of me” … “Maybe I was wrong for tryin’ to pick a fight”) or nobody at all, just some faceless glyph thought up by Dr. Luke and Max Martin as they sat on their giant pile of money and tried to figure out the exact thundering melody that would get the inaugural American Idol back into her home country’s good graces? Read the full thing after the jump, and, feel free to speculate on what the song’s preferred spelling of the shortened form of “because” might mean!

Guess this means you’re sorry You’re standing at my door Guess this means you take back What you said before Like how much you wanted Anyone but me Said you’d never come back But here you are again

Cuz we belong together now Forever united here somehow You got a piece of me And honestly My life would suck without you

Maybe I was stupid for telling you goodbye Maybe I was wrong for tryin’ to pick a fight I know that I’ve got issues But you’re pretty messed up too Anyway, I found out I’m nothing without you

Cuz we belong together now Forever united here somehow You got a piece of me And honestly My life would suck without you

Being with you is so dysfunctional I really shouldn’t miss you, but I can’t let go Oh yeah

Cuz we belong together now Forever united here somehow You got a piece of me And honestly My life would suck without you
