Finish Your Sentences Lyrics

[Verse 1: Carly Pearce, Michael Ray & Both]
Should I wear this dress?
Yeah, you know it looks so good on you
Should we go to that bar?
Yeah, you know I got a table for two
Should we call a, a cab?
It'll be here in five
Oh, there you go reading my mind

[Pre-Chorus: Carly Pearce & Michael Ray, Carly Pearce]
No, no, no, nobody knows me like you
Crazy how you do what you do, you do

[Chorus: Carly Pearce & Michael Ray]
’Cause you know what I'm thinking 'fore I’m thinking it
Ooh, you light the fire and I keep it lit
Yeah, I know you better than you know yourself
You start it, I'll end it
I love that I can finish your sentences (Ooh)
Finish your sentences, yeah (Ooh)

[Post-Chorus: Carly Pearce & Michael Ray]
Ooh, ooh

[Verse 2: Michael Ray, Carly Pearce & Both]
On second thought
Maybe we should skip that party
I was thinking that too
Don't wanna share you with nobody
Maybe we should open up that bottle of wine
Call our friends and tell 'em we can't make it tonight
[Chorus: Carly Pearce & Michael Ray]
'Cause you know what I'm thinking 'fore I’m thinking it
Ooh, you light the fire and I keep it lit
Yeah, I know you better than you know yourself
You start it, I’ll end it
I love that I can finish your sentences (Ooh)
Finish your sentences, yeah (Ooh)

[Post-Chorus: Carly Pearce]
Oh-mmm, oh-mmm

[Pre-Chorus: Both, Carly Pearce & Michael Ray]
No, no, no, nobody knows me like you
Crazy how you do what you do (What you do)
No, no, no, nobody knows me like you (Knows me like you)
Crazy how you do what you do (What you do)

[Chorus: Both, Carly Pearce & Michael Ray]
'Cause you know what I’m thinking 'fore I'm thinking it (Before I'm thinking it)
Ooh, you light the fire and I keep it lit (I keep it lit)
Yeah, I know you better than you know yourself (Than you know yourself)
You start it, I’ll end it
I love that I can finish your sentences (Ooh)
I can finish your sentences, yeah (Ooh)

[Post-Chorus: Both, Michael Ray & Carly Pearce]
Ooh
I can finish your sentences (Ooh)
Your sentences, oh, mmm

Genius Answer

Michael and I were just dating. But it was such a moment of me going, “Why did I not think of this?” Because so many people say, “Oh my god, we finish each other’s sentences,” but I had never heard a duet where you literally are doing what the song is about. And when [Michael and I] got in there, it was just really fun and we did a lot of layering. I just wanted to capture that fun, flirty feeling.
