Personal Lyrics

No I'm not a liar
Just didn't know how to tell you the truth
All we need is time
We don't know why we do what we do
But we do

On a night like this
Just don't know what I'm trying to prove
No we can't predict
The reasons why we do what we do
But we do, but we do
Yeah we do what we do
Yeah we do what we do
Yeah we do what we do

When you fall in love
You can't help it when you act like a fool
When you look above
You see the reasons why we do what we do
What we do, what we do
Yeah we do what we do
Yeah we do what we do
Yeah we do what we do

Ain't got a shotglass in my fist
To spill it away on my business
Telling these strangers about you
I'm getting too, I'm getting too, I'm getting too
Personal, getting too personal
I'm getting too personal, personal
Personal with you

Now I'm wondering
They can tell that I've been crying all night?
'Cause I told myself
I don't love you, though I know it's a lie
'Cause I do

When you fall in love
You can't help it when you act like a fool
When you look above
You see the reasons why we do what we do

Ain't got a shotglass in my fist
To spill it away on my business
Telling these strangers about you
I'm getting too, I'm getting too, I'm getting too
Personal, getting too personal
I'm getting too personal, personal
Personal with you

Hear me out, hear me out right now, hey
Hear me out, hear me out now, hey
You've been running through my mind all day
Hear me out now, hear me baby

Hear me out, hear me out right now, hey
Hear me out, hear me out now, hey
You've been running through my mind all day
Hear me out now, hear me baby

Shotglass in my fist
So spill it away on my business
Telling these strangers about you
I'm getting too, I'm getting too, I'm getting too
Personal, getting too personal
I'm getting too personal, personal
Personal with you

You've been running through my mind all day
Hear me out now, hear me baby

Personal Song Chart

This tender ballad finds Jessie singing about a doomed relationship in which she finds herself "crying all night." The song was written by "Refill" singer Elle Varner and Canadian singer-songwriter Jenna Andrews. Jessie co-penned most of the songs on her first two albums but is credited on only five of Sweet Talker's 12 songs. She told Digital Spy : "I would never sing a song that I don't feel like I haven't lived the shoes in. I am a fan of the writers."

"It's a constant cycle of inspiration so like, for example, when I heard 'Fire' and when I heard 'Personal', these are songs that I have lived and so I added my input on the lyric and changed some of the things to really make it suitable for me, to feel comfortable to sing it.," Jessie added. "And it was an amazing experience to be able to let go like that."
