With You (By Jessica Simpson) ( I Don't own the song)

The real me is a southern girl with her Levis on and an open heart
Wish I could save the world, like I was super girl
The real me used to laugh all night lying in the grass just talking about love
But lately I've been jaded life got so complicated

I start thinking about it,
I almost forgot what it was like
To know what it feels like
Cause with you
I can let my hair down
I can say anything crazy
I know you'll catch me right before I hit the ground
With nothing but a T-shirt on
I never felt so beautiful
Baby as I do now
Now that I'm with you
With you, with you, with you
Now that I'm with you

You speak and it's like a song
And just like that all my walls come down
It's like a private joke just meant for us to know
I relate to you naturally


Everybody else just fades away
Sometimes it's hard to breathe
Just knowing you found me

Cuz I start thinking about it,
I almost forgot what it was like
To know what love feels right
Cause with you
I can let my hair down
I can say anything crazy
I know you'll catch me right before I hit the ground
With nothing but a T-shirt on
I never felt so beautiful
Baby as I do now
Now that I'm with you
With you

Come and take me
Love you save me
Like nobody else
Now I can be myself
With you

With you
I can let my hair down
I can say anything crazy
I know you'll catch me right before I hit the ground
With nothing but a T-shirt on
I never felt so beautiful
Baby as I do now (Baby as I do now)
Now that I'm with you

Tommy: "Stop you're hurting my ears. You won the contest with this?"

Eden: "Yep it's a great song, look what it did for Jessica."

Tommy: "Yeah it proved what a bimbo she is."

End flashback

Jude: "So what happened?"

Tommy: "well within the first 48 hours she kissed me."

Jude: "WHAT?"



Tommy: "She kissed me just before she performed at the Palace. I told her it shouldn't have happened."

Jude: "So then what?"

Tommy: "Well she became a bitch."

Jude: "Tommy"

Tommy: "What it's true. She became a Britney wannabe and she was not against using people to get what she wanted. But truth be told she only got as far as she did because of her looks."

Jude: "So what happened to Georgia?"

Tommy: "Well the Instant Star contest was meant to help save the label, but Eden and her diva ways ended up costing the label more than what she was making. So D decided to help out an old friend and offered to buy the studio."

Jude: "What happened to Eden?"

Tommy: "Well when D took over he ended her contract and I believe she now works at gentlemen's clubs."

Jude: "Oh"

Tommy: "Yeah as for Georgia D decided that she would be relocated to a new G Major to get it up and running. EJ went with her."

Jude: "Ok then what: "

Tommy: "Well D revamped the Instant Star contest hired me as a full time producer, Kwest as an engineer and my right hand man, Portia took over EJ's job and just like EJ no one mess with her."

Jude: "I bet its cos she's D's little sister"

Tommy: "It wouldn't surprise me. And that's much what has happened to G Major and well you know the rest."

Jude: "Yeah I guess I do. But one thing I'm dying to know is how you got the name Lord Squinty Frown?"

Tommy: "That my girl is a trade secret one in which I'll never reveal.

Jude: "I bet it's cos you don't know?"

Tommy: "Ok you got me. I don't know I guess it's cos I can be a bit cranky sometimes?"

Jude: "What 'Lil Tommy Q' cranky never."

Tommy: "Jude"

Jude: "What?"

Tommy: "What did I say about the name?"

Jude: "I don't know remind me again 'Lil Tommy Q'?"

Tommy: "Jude run"

Jude: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

Tommy chased Jude around the conference room and out into the reception area all the way to studio A, where he cornered her.

Tommy: "Now you got nowhere to run Harrison. What cha gonna do?

Jude's thoughts: Whatever you do don't kiss him.

Tommy: "Hello Earth to Jude. Jude you still here?'

Tommy got no reply from Jude so he decided to tickle her to bring her back from wherever she was.

Jude: "Tommy laugh stop laugh it laugh you laugh know laugh I'm Laugh ticklish laugh

Tommy finally stopped and he and Jude just stood there looking into each others eyes. When Jude gave in and kissed him.
