— Lyrics:
I met you in the dark, you lit me up
You made me feel as though I was enough
We danced the night away, we drank too much
I held your hair back when
You were throwing up
Then you smiled over your shoulder
For a minute, I was stone-cold sober
I pulled you closer to my chest
And you asked me to stay over
I said, I already told ya
I think that you should get some rest
I knew I loved you then
But youd never know
Cause I played it cool when I was scared of letting go
I know I needed you
But I never showed
But I wanna stay with you until were grey and old
Just say you wont let go
Just say you wont let go
Ill wake you up with some breakfast in bed
Ill bring you coffee with a kiss on your head
And Ill take the kids to school
Wave them goodbye
And Ill thank my lucky stars for that night
When you looked over your shoulder
For a minute, I forget that Im older
I wanna dance with you right now
Oh, and you look as beautiful as ever
And I swear that everydayll get better
You make me feel this way somehow
Im so in love with you
And I hope you know
Darling your love is more than worth its weight in gold
Weve come so far my dear
Look how weve grown
And I wanna stay with you until were grey and old
Just say you wont let go
Just say you wont let go
I wanna live with you
Even when were ghosts
Cause you were always there for me when I needed you most
Im gonna love you till
My lungs give out
I promise till death we part like in our vows
So I wrote this song for you, now everybody knows
Finally its just you and me till were grey and old
Just say you wont let go
Just say you wont let go
Just say you wont let go
Oh, just say you wont let go
There’s an infestation in my mind’s imagination,
I hope they choke on smoke ‘cause I’m smoking them out the basement,
This is not rap, this is not hip hop,
Just another attempt to make the voices stop,
Rapping to prove nothing, just writing to say something,
‘Cause I wasnt the only one who wasnt rushing to say nothing,
This doesnt mean I lost my dream,
It’s just right now I’ve got a really crazy mind to clean.
Gangsters don’t cry,
Therefore, therefore I’m,
Mr. Misty-eyed, therefore I’m.
Can you save, can you save my,
Can you save my heavydirtysoul?
For me, for me,
Can you save my heavydirtysoul?
Nah, I didnt understand a thing you said,
If I didnt know better I’d guess you’re all already dead,
Mindless zombies walking around with a limp and a hunch,
Saying stuff like, “you only live once.”
You’ve got one time to figure it out,
One time to twist and one time to shout,
One time to think and I say we start now,
Sing it with me if you know what I’m talking about.
James enlists some commuting help from P!nk, driving around Los Angeles singing her classics, and the two end upside down to prove once and for all you can sing better inverted.

Since Corden took the reigns as host in March 2015, he has quickly become known for generating buzzworthy viral videos, such as Carpool Karaoke."
I feel so unsure
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies, something in your eyes
Calls to mind a silver screen and all its sad good-byes
Im never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though its easy to pretend
I know youre not a fool
Should’ve known better than to cheat a friend
And waste a chance that Ive been given
So Im never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you.
Time can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
But theres no comfort in the truth
Pain is all youll find
Im never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though its easy to pretend
I know youre not a fool
Should’ve known better than to cheat a friend
And waste a chance that Ive been given
So Im never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you.
Never without your love
Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe its better this way,
Wed hurt each other with the things we want to say
We good have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But now whos gonna dance with me
Please stay
And Im never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though its easy to pretend
I know youre not a fool
Should have known better than to cheat a friend
And waste a chance that Ive been given
So Im never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you.
Now that you’re gone, now that you’re gone
Now that you’re gone
What I did was so wrong, so wrong
That you had to leave me alone
