About Predictable

"Predictable" is a pop rock song written by Kara DioGuardi, Delta Goodrem and Jarrad Rogers, recorded by Goodrem for her first album Innocent Eyes (2003). Released in the last quarter of 2003, the single peaked at number-one on the Australian ARIA Charts, becoming Goodrem's fifth number-one single in Australia. This achievement broke the record set by Goodrem for the most consecutive number-ones from a debut album; the original record was held by Kylie Minogue. Due to Goodrem's cancer treatment, she was unable to shoot an accompanying film clip; Sony used a live video to represent the song. The live video was shot at the headquarters for Channel V in July 2003. The song was produced by John Fields in Los Angeles. Originally, the demo version of the song was rather different from the end product; however, Goodrem desired the song to have a rock edge to it, thus asking Fields to help produce it. The song is set around the theme of a girl rejecting the advances of a man, because she can see through his facade, and knows that if she lets him enter her life, she will end up heartbroken. The song was chosen by Goodrem's record company, Sony, to be the last single to represent the album Innocent Eyes.

I smile 
You say I take your breathe away 
You say you love me and you make 
All the right promises to break 

And when I turn around you're always there 
Like that's the proof you really care 
But I see right through you and I think 
To myself 

You're just so predictable 
In every way 
I want you to know I know your game 
It's so unbelievable 
How you never change 
You won't get away 
With loving me 
You're just so predictable 

I run 
You say you won't give up the chase 
You say you'll follow me anyplace 
So you can make the same mistakes 

You know just what to do 
And How to use the best of you 
To try and change my mind 
But my eyes are opening this time 
And I read you 

You're just so predictable 
In every way 
I want you to know I know your game 
It's so unbelievable 
How you never change 
You won't get away 
With loving me 
You're just so predictable 

Now that I know your every move 
How you gonna hide baby what you gonna do 
Now that somebody knows the truth 
About you and how you're just so 

You're just so predictable 
In every way 
I want you to know I know your game 
It's so unbelievable 
How you never change 
You won't get away 
With loving me 
You're just so predictable
