WITH YOU
"With You" is the second single from Jessica Simpson's 3rd album In This Skin. Released in 2004, the single peaked at #14 in the USA becoming Simpson's 3rd Top 20 single.
Simpson having co-writing credit on "With You" marked the first time that she had received writing credit on any of her singles. In this earthy girl-power anthem dedicated to being yourself, Jessica recalls how when she's with the one she loves, she doesn't need to put up a front. "With him", she can let her hair down low, or say anything crazy, yet she knows he'll always catch her if she falls, and he even makes her feel beautiful even if she's got nothing but a T-Shirt on.
Along with Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica, the single helped to turn around Simpson's fledgling recording career (Due to her previous flop singles, and underwhelming album sales, Columbia Records considered dropping her until "With You" became a smash). It is often considered to be her signature song.

LYRICS
The real me is a Southern girl
With her Levi's on and an open heart
Wish I could save the world
Like I was Supergirl
The real me used to laugh all night
Lying in the grass, just talking 'bout love
But lately I've been jaded
Life got so complicated

I start thinking about it
Almost forgot what it was like
To know when it feels right

But with you
I can let my hair down
I can say anything crazy
I know you'll catch me right before I hit the ground
With nothing but a T-shirt on
I never felt so beautiful
Baby, as I do now
Now that I'm with you

With you
With you
With you
Now that I'm with you

You speak and it's like a song
And just like that, all my walls come down
It's like a private joke
Just meant for us to know
I relate to you naturally
Everybody else just fades away
Sometimes it's hard to breathe
Just knowing you found me

'Cause I start thinking about it
I almost forgot what it was like
To know when love feels right

'Cause with you
I can let my hair down
I can say anything crazy
I know you'll catch me right before I hit the ground
With nothing but a T-shirt on
I never felt so beautiful
Baby, as I do now
Now that I'm with you

With you
With you
With you

Come and take me
Love you, save me
Like nobody else
Now I can be myself with you

I can let my hair down
I can say anything crazy
I know you'll catch me right before I hit the ground
With nothing but a T-shirt on
I never felt so beautiful
Baby, as I do now
Now that I'm with you

I can let my hair down
I can say anything crazy
I know you'll catch me right before I hit the ground
With nothing but a T-shirt on
I never felt so beautiful
Baby, as I do now
Now that I'm with you
