About Little Miss Obsessive

"Little Miss Obsessive" is a song recorded by American singer Ashlee Simpson for her third studio album, Bittersweet World (2008). It features uncredited guest vocals from Tom Higginson, the lead singer of the Plain White T's. The song was written by Simpson, Jim Beanz, Victor Valentine and Big Karl Berringer. "Little Miss Obsessive" was produced by Jack Joseph Puig and Big Karl Berringer, with vocal production by Beanz. The song was released as the "first official single" from Bittersweet World on March 11, 2008, following the commercial disappointment of its predecessor, "Outta My Head (Ay Ya Ya)". "Little Miss Obsessive" is a pop rock power ballad that chronicles the "ostensibly aural dance" of a couple "who break up to make up – and like it". Simpson looked to herself for inspiration when writing the song. Music critics were divided on "Little Miss Obsessive"; some critics felt the song was impressive, while others were critical of Simpson's vocals and the song's lyrics. The song only managed to chart on the national charts of Canada and the United States, where it peaked at 72 and 96, respectively.

Woah, woah, woah (that side of your bed is still mine)

Woah, woah, woah (that side of your bed is still mine)

Am I the reason why you tossed and turned last night?
Everything's such a blur, it didn't come out right
All of the sudden it's cold and we're falling apart
No this can't be, please don't leave me alone in the dark

And I guess we're really over, so come over, I'm not over it
And I guess we're really over, so come over, I'm not over it
Late night you make me feel like I'm desperate, I'm not desperate
Oh, a little bit possessive, little miss obsessive, can't get over it

Woah, woah, woah (that side of your bed is still mine)

Woah, woah, woah (that side of your bed is still mine)

I've never been a fan of long good-byes
I'm at the finish line and you're just way too far behind
In the morning I got in a fight with myself, I got the bruises to prove it
Then I swallowed your words and spit them right back out

And I guess we're really over, so come over, I'm not over it
And I guess we're really over, so come over, I'm not over it
Late night you make me feel like I'm desperate, Aim not desperate
Oh, a little bit possessive, little miss obsessive, can't get over it
No!

It's like a fairy tale without a happy ending (happy ending)
But then again maybe we are just pretending
Why does it have to be so unfair?
Tell me that you care

And I guess we're really over, but come over, I'm not over it
And I guess we're really over, so come over, I'm not over it, oh

Little miss, little miss, little miss, little miss obsessive

Late night you make me feel like I'm desperate, I'm not desperate
Oh, a little bit possessive, little miss obsessive, can't get over it

Woah, woah, woah (that side of your bed is still mine)

Woah, woah, woah (that side of your bed is still mine)
