Charlotte Sometimes - How I Could Just Kill A Man Lyrics

They play this all the time at the casino I work at. I fell in love with this when I found it on VH1 at 3am

Jessica has such an awesome sound but she MUST stop changing her name! It's more frustrating than john Cougar Mellancamp!

Was an angsty teen when I listened to this, now a nostalgic adult. Love it.

Still listening in 2019, love this song, love this girl. They should've never cut her from her record deal 😘 💕

If anybody was wondering what she's up to, she records under the name Jessica Vaughn now...check out Head Btch Music

You have no idea how long I was searching for this song! I kept confusing it with Regina Spektor's Infidelity song but kept thinking I must have imagined the music video differently.

The nostalgia of a 2008 summer...

Forgot about this awesome song! I had this on my first iPod. I heard it today in a KFC 🤣

It should be a crime that i search charlotte sometimes by the cure and this crap comes up

tim humphrey The Cure was a crime, and could never have an ounce of talent compared to this woman. What even did the cure do to prompt anyone going back to listen to them

Listening to this song since I was 12 🙃 I'm 23

2007, come back to me..

I loved this song back in the day. Just stumbled upon it again in 2019. Still beautifully sinister!

Du donatai

It’s possible that this isn’t terrible, but that possibility is overshadowed by the fact that this isn’t a cypress hill cover.

I was searching for Cyprus Hill...

2019 lol finally found this song

late 2000s music goes so hard. I used to blast this off my, what, Warped Tour CD? lmao such a jam a decade later

Great song!

2019!!!

Omg this brings middle school memories back

Tbh I just wanted to follow the damn train.

Umm, here is something I can’t understand.....where is the cover song I came here for? This has put me in Rage. I’m heading the Hill to cool down for a bit.

I'm lucky enough to have known this song for 10 years. Amazing. I wish she would have gone on to do more, hope she's doing well. Thank you for this song; it's gotten me through a lot over the years. 💖

She was on the voice a couple years ago

She still records, just under different names. Check out LACES or Jessica Vaughn. And she's doing great, I knew her personally :)

I would go all girl on girl for her -- -what a talent!

Go get your ribbon box
Go get your wounded heart
Seeing spiders, I'm told they never lie.

Go get your brother love
Go get your losing head
Seeing fire, I'm told it never burns.

I want it all, I pull you back. 
I want it all.

Cry baby, cry baby, cry. 
Soaking down your face.
Cry baby, cry baby, and you can't understand how I could just kill a man.

No to your letters love
No to unsturdy hands
Sleeping eyes, I'm told they never lie.

No to your key of rust
No to your raging words
Sleeping tires, I'm told they never drive.

I want it all, I pull you back. 
I want it all.

Cry baby, cry baby, cry. 
Soaking down your face.
Cry baby, cry baby, and you can't understand how I could just kill a man.

If I wanted to stay, you won't stand in my way
But I'm choosing to leave with your heart on my sleeve
It feels too good without you

Cry baby, cry baby, cry. 
Soaking down your face.
Cry baby, cry baby, and you can't understand how I could just kill a man.

Damn Cypress has changed over the years.

how i could just kill myself that after all these years it still hasn't had a million hits

2018 and still absolutely love this song

When VH1 was worth... watching..

I’ve been looking for this song for years! The real cry baby song!

What happened to her??!

I seen her at the VANS WARP TOUR 2008 ATLANTA I HAD A MEET AND GREET SHE WAS COOL BUT THAT DAY WAS HOT

Sexist bitch.

She still does music. Just if anyine is wondering, she goes by LACES now. She has an EP out and its soo good!

When I first heard this 10 years ago (on AOL Radio, believe it or not), I couldn't help thinking, "this girl is fire". I looked her up on Google and have been a fan ever since. The title track from this album is a beautiful piece of songwriting, performance and production, too. Check out the song. It's called, "Waves And The Both Of Us".

Very talented woman

This song literally never gets old ❤️ I really don't know why more people didn't pick it up

gorgeous girl, I love her music.

visco 242/ the phantom of the opera

major crush on her

Throwback 😍😍

how could something with the same name as one of the greatest cure songs ever end up being so FUCKING SHITTY!

I guess it's Charlotte all the time or nothing

I miss this on vh1

OMG I FINALLY FOUND THIS SONG. I just had rememrebed the "i pull you back" and the toon of the song and finally found it

this is one my favorite song especially in high school brings back memories it's still amazing

Devon Bennett hell yeah dude

Same dudes. Same.

this song is underrated. I love this

sep 2016 and still listening to this song,, is that weird? 😁

Rakwata Heji Nope... July 2017😀

no, because now its 2018 and I'm 13 still listening to it!!

I thought this was a cypress hill cover and I was about to kms but then the lyrics and I realized it was just a shitty song as not a shitty cover of a great song

still my fav

0:40 is that Coley O'Toole?

FYI Cypress Hill did NOT invent the phrase "I could just kill a man". A wise woman did, probably the first woman on Earth tbh.

that's an UNEXPECTED Cypress Hill reference

This was my myspace song lmao

wolfadile hunter the good old days haha

this song it reminds me if cry baby from Melanie Martinez

so good....idk why she didn't become more famous

until you realize there are a shit ton of people just as talented who never even get this far.

so good....idk why she didn't become more famous

tf is this where's cypress hill

this song makes me cry then smile then laugh because life just gets lifey

thank god for VH1 man all those years ago and I still know the lyrics

lol me and my sister wussed out. he is not him me is she, so she is me.

Still amazing. Used to listen to this at like 1AM on VH1 along with Adele's "Chasing Pavements" and Justin Nozuka.

OMG JUSTIN NOZUKA I FORGOT ABOUT IT

You were listening to Nocturnal State that was the program, I loved it

That was so me back then watching all these up and coming artists releasing their first videos.

why the hell is this also me-

Christina Perri, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, Colbie Calliat, The Script

Throwback to when Vh1 was good and made fucking sense

I wish all girls where like this one. Big eyes. Dark. Puffy. And smart. But there aren't enough to go around. So I guess we have to settle for skinny blondes. Least they don't eat much.

+Jack Spraker I don't know if a comment has ever pissed me off this much before. If you're a troll, you've done a magnificent job and I truly commend you. If you're not a troll and just a sexist idiot then I sincerely hope you realize the error in your views and fix them before some poor girl becomes the victim of your misguided expectations of the "ideal woman". Either way, at least you have good taste in music. Have a nice life.

Let the rage flow through you.

That's some cringeworthy content.

I miss this song ❤️💚❤️

I've been looking for this song for 5 years

Me too. If only it had been called "Cry Baby Cry". Had to search for: "Soaking down your..".

ME TOO!!! I've searched for it a few times throughout the years but I finally found it!

If this is supposed to be an homage to Cypress Hill it's poorly done.

sacheverelle she wrote it . it's poorly that you would write this

Here is something you can't understand...

It's not a homage she only interpolated the chorus

The story is that she was trying to get a record deal and to sell them on her song-writing ability one of the execs gave her the name of the song and she wrote it in an hour. So it wasn't an homage, but perhaps a bit of a joke.

does anybody know what she's doing now?

@SilentHysteria17  She was on the Voice a couple of seasons ago. She didn't make it far tho

She Laces now. Just released a song called Love Me Sober.

Its been a while since this song came out and I still come back to this song. Sucks that this is the only good song I love from her.

+Jacqueline Pacheco Have you heard "In Your Apartment"? That one's magical.

She still does music and she's great! She used to record under the name LACES but now she's Jessica Vaughn

This song is so good, people don't even know..

Did she get her name from a Cure song?

It's from a children's book.

Charlotte's Web?

Nope, Charlotte Sometimes by Penelope Farmer.

I don't know if this is just me but at 00:40 is that coley on the keyboard from We the Kings?

Could be. They're friends on FB.

EEK!! THOUGHT IT WAS A COVER! >_<

Haha i used to like this song 

She's not even a wonder

One hit wonder :/

The whole cd is good

Wait a minute this was made in 2008 and she was on the voice 2012. If she was already signed why was she on the voice?

It must not matter, because Cassadee Pope (who WON season 3) already had her own band with a full album and an EP.

Would never cheat on a chick this hot. Oral anal sex

Charlotte Sometimes is a book... the Crue wrote a song about it. Obviously only 28...

Am I the only one who knows this person got her band name from a song by The Cure? "Charlotte sometimes crying for herself, Charlotte sometimes builds a wall around herself. But it's always with love, so much love it looks like anything else. Charlotte sometimes, so far away, Charlotte...sometimes!" Listen to them and you'll know Robert Smith is so amazing & also that I feel old as hell but I'm only 28!

Phew...thought I was the only one

It’s actually from the book Charlotte Sometimes by Penelope Farmer. That’s what The Cure song is based off of as well.

My mom knows her personally, and I've seen her live. She said it's based on a book.

Ok I came into this thinking it was going to be a version of the Cyprus hill song.....it was not

I just found out about her on Last.fm and how could anyone not give her a record contract? omg she is so good! ^_^

i Have been searching this song for years with no avail. this song brings back so much nostalgia it brings back memories of my failed marriage. The moment he requested for a divorce this song came on the radio.

Her stage name is a The Cure song. :D

It’s from a book called Charlotte Sometimes by Penelope Farmer. The Cure song is too.

I love this song sooooo much ^-*

...this isn't cypress hill...

Wasnt dis bitch on da voice :D!!!!!!!

well if you had watched any of her segments, you'd have known that she contracted a disease that messed up her vocal cords. her record company dropped her, and she couldn't find anyone to pick her up. she went on the voice to get a second chance, like many others. cassadee pope had a good start, idk her story, but charlotte i sympathized with.

I love love this song this whole album was awesome.

I hate this kind of singing. It's like a commercial for fabric softener. Picture the happy house wife with the picket fence lol..shallow. Music is dead.

She looks like Daniella Monet from Victorious.

Coley <3

O.M.G I COMPLETELY forgot about this song! If I remember correctly, this was the summer that Adele's "Chasing Pavements", Justin Nozuka's "After tonight", Death Cab For Cutie's "I Will Possess Your Heart", Gavin Rossdale's "Love Remains the Same", A Fine Frenzy's "Almost Lover and this song were on constant rotation on VH1 throughout the night. Needless to say it was the summer I didn't sleep.
Oh nostalgia =/

HelloGudbye93 yup, i remember all of those and this randomly popped into my head just now thinking of my ex aha

I’m crying this was my childhood 🥺

When music was good wtf happened to Fuse

The Good Ole' Days
