More Kelly Leaks! Lyrics, Low Quality Snippet of "Suck"

OK, I promise not to post a Kelly post every day until the official release of Masquerade in late March, but "My Life Would Suck Without You" is my "4 Minutes" for 2009. I am desperate for it to leak in the worst way, but we have gotten two snazzy little tidbits to tide us over. First, Kelly sent a bulletin out on the MySpace (yes, I'm one of her friends, don't hate me cause I'm popular) linking me to PopEater's post of the lyrics for the Max Martin & Dr. Luke penned single. And I am trying to stay optimistic, but What! The! Hell!

All of Kelly's best singles, (sans "Miss Independent") have been breakup jams. And that's when I love our little Idol that could, telling twatwaffly dudes to Walk Away, tearing up their apartments, not letting them in behind her hazel eyes (while looking fucking amazing!) and generally being pissed off by the douchier sex. Except when she's weeping over her strained relationship with her mother, Kelly is never better when playing the woman done wrong. Hell, My December was my 2nd favorite album of 2007, and it's nothing but 808s & Heartbreaks. Minus the 808s... (love that title!)

I know the title would indicate that it's a love song, but I thought the same thing about "Because Of You" and it turned out to be an ode to dysfunctional mother-daughter relationships (and I loved her for it!) I was hoping for a twist like "my life would suck without you, but it sucks more with you" but the lyrics for "My Life Would Suck Without You" are a straight-up love song. Can Kelly sell a love song with the same impassioned vocals of a "Sober" or "Behind These Hazel Eyes"? We will soon see. Here's the chorus, which contains the title and probably the major hook for the track: "Cuz we belong together now/Forever united here somehow/You got a piece of me/And honestly/My life would suck without you" I can't really see myself rocking out to this. Oh Kelly, I want to love it so much, you better sing the shit out of it.

More Kelly leakage: You can here a tiny snippet of the demo version of "My Life Would Suck Without You" being played by Clive Davis for Bill Maher on Iconoclasts. The sound quality is poor, and Clive is talking over it, but I get the feeling it will sound like "Since U Been Gone" But a lot of the appeal of "Since U Been Gone" was the whole "just broke up, let me rock out" feeling. A love song probably won't work the same way.
