[Verse 1]
I used to be a little bit shy
I kept my deepest feelings inside
Speaking up to you about my emotions has always been hard
But this just can't wait
Tonight I feel a little bit brave
So I won't let one more day pass without you
Explaining what we are

[Pre-Chorus]
This is gonna sound kind of silly
But I couldn't help but notice
The last time you kissed me
You kept both eyes open
Baby, can you tell me, what does that mean?
If you're looking over your shoulder
Then you don't needa be with me
And I don't need to hold on

[Chorus]
Don't let me stop you
From doing what you wanna do
You don't wanna stick, trust me, it's cool
Take no chance, get over you
No, no, don't let me stop you
If you wanna leave, baby, you can leave
Just don't pretend that you're into me
If it ain't true
No, don't let me stop you

[Verse 2]
A lot of things I can take
Got a high threshold for pain
But let's get one thing straight
I'm not down to share you with anyone
If that's not what you're looking for
Nice knowing you, but there's the door
'Cause I know that I could find someone
Who'll give me what I want

[Pre-Chorus]
This is gonna sound kind of silly
If you're looking over your shoulder
Then you don't needa be with me
And I don't need to hold on

[Chorus]
Don't let me stop you
From doing what you wanna do
You don't wanna stick, trust me, it's cool
Take no chance, get over you
No, no, don't let me stop you
If you wanna leave, baby, you can leave
Just don't pretend that you're into me
If it ain't true
No, don't let me stop you

[Bridge]
Even if I end up broken hearted
I won't lie, I don't wanna hear goodbye
But either way, I'll be alright

[Chorus]
Don't let me stop you
From doing what you wanna do
You don't wanna stick, trust me, it's cool
Take no chance, get over you
No, no, don't let me stop you
If you wanna leave, baby, you can leave
Just don't pretend that you're into me
If it ain't true
No, don't let me stop you
Don't let me stop you
From doing what you wanna do
You don't wanna stick, trust me, it's cool
Take no chance, get over you (I'm over you)
No, no, don't let me stop you
If you wanna leave, baby, you can leave (Don't let me stop you)
Just don't pretend that you're into me (Don't let me)
If it ain't true (Don't let me)
No, don't let me stop you

Kelly Brianne Clarkson (born April 24, 1982) is an American singer, songwriter, and occasional actress. In 2002, she came to prominence after winning the first season of American Idol, and has since been established as “The Original American Idol”. Her debut single, “A Moment Like This”, topped the US Billboard Hot 100 and broke the record for the biggest jump to number one in the chart’s history.

Her first album, Thankful included the top ten single “Miss Independent”, which earned her first Grammy nomination. Her second album Breakaway produced the hit single “Since U Been Gone” which reached number two on the Hot 100 and was certified platinum by the RIAA.

Clarkson went in a different direction with her self-creatively-controlled third album, My December. It debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 and produced the top-ten single “Never Again.” Her fourth album, All I Ever Wanted debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. Lead single “My Life Would Suck Without You” re-broke the record for biggest jump to number one on the Hot 100, jumping 97-1 in its second week on the chart. The record still stands today.
