About Issues

"Issues" is a mid-tempo pop/R&B song performed by British-Irish girl group The Saturdays. The song was written and produced by Carl Sturken and Evan Rogers. The single was released as the band's third official single, from their first studio album, Chasing Lights. "Issues" was officially released on 5 January 2009 in the United Kingdom. The single gained mixed reviews from pop music critics. BBC Music stated that the song was very diva-ish, and the band are divas in the making. Upon the release of the single, "Issues" gained a lot of chart success after charting at number four in the United Kingdom and number fourteen in the Republic of Ireland. The single also charted at number twenty-one on Eurochart Hot 100 Singles. Prior to its single release, the lyrics to "Issues" were re-recorded after being misinterpreted as promoting violence. As the lyrics "can't decide if I should slap you or kiss you" left many people misunderstanding the word "slap" as "stab", the lyrics were changed to "can't decide if I should leave you or kiss you".

Ooooh yeah

Sometimes I fell like I'm going out of my mind,

Boy the way you do me is a damn crime,

Then you smile at me and its alright,

With you, there ain't no in between.

Every time that I walk out the door, tell myself I won't take it no more,

There's a part of me won't let you go,
Keep saying yes when my minds saying no,

[Chorus]
Me and my heart we got issues
Don't know if I should hate you or miss you,
Damn I wish that I could resist you 
Can't decide if I should leave you or kiss you,
Me and my heart we got issues,issues,issues
We got issues,issues,issues

Its so wrong, boy you leave me hanging for so long yeah, empty out my love until its all gone, 
You change the words but still its the same song,
I'm tired of the melody
Change my number and throw out your clothes, 
But my feelings for you, it still shows
I keep building a wall round my heart 
But then I see you, and it all falls apart

[Chorus]

Why fight it, can't hide it
Truth is I think I like it 
Confusion,illusion
Still I don't know which way to go

[Chorus x2]

Me and my heart we got issues, issues, issues
We got issues issues
We got issues issues
We got issues issues

Me and my heart we got issues
Don't know if I should hate you or miss you
