Colbie Marie Caillat (i/ˈkoʊlbi kəˈleɪ/; born May 28, 1985) is an American pop singer-songwriter and acoustic guitarist from Malibu, California. She debuted in 2007 with Coco, which included hit singles "Bubbly" and "Realize". In 2008, she recorded a duet with Jason Mraz, "Lucky", which won a Grammy. Caillat released her second album, Breakthrough, in August 2009. Breakthrough was nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album at the 2010 Grammy Awards. She was also part of the group that won Album of the Year at the 2010 Grammys for her background vocals and writing on Taylor Swift's Fearless album. She has sold over six million albums worldwide and sold over 10 million singles. In 2009, Billboard magazine's 94th-best-selling music artist of the 2000–2009 decade.
Caillat was born in Malibu, California, and grew up in Newbury Park, California. Her father, Ken Caillat, co-produced Fleetwood Mac's Rumours (1977) and Tusk (1979) albums. When she was an infant, her parents gave her the nickname "Coco", which she would later name her debut album. Caillat took piano lessons as a child, but lacked significant inspiration until she turned 11 years old, when she became enthralled with Lauryn Hill's performance in Sister Act 2. She realized that she wanted to be a singer, and began taking vocal lessons, performing onstage for the first time in sixth grade. Since then she has covered the Roberta Flack song that Lauryn Hill immortalized, "Killing Me Softly", and Hill's own[citation needed] "Tell Him" (an import bonus song from her solo debut album).

After all this time, I still want you
Everyday I find I still want you
Oh, no one's given me what you've given me
You know me better than I know myself
Like you know everything I've ever felt
Oh, the more I see of life, the more I realize
How much I still want you.
There were times I could have lost my way
Could've found myself with someone else
I'm not above temptation, I'm only human
But that's how I know, I still want you.
Some say it's over when you know too much
I say forever won't be long enough
With you holding onto me, my stability
A love I can't replace.
It took time, but I learned from my mistakes
(could've found myself) could've found myself with someone else
I'm not above temptation, I'm only human
But that's how I know, I know it's true
After all these years I still want you.
Some people never see (never see)
What it is they really need til they wake up alone
(til they wake up alone)
But when I look at you and me
I don't want for anything, I know where I belong
(I know where I belong, I know where I belong)
But more than anything I still want you.
No matter where I go or what I do
I still want you.
There were times I could've lost my way
(could've lost my way) could've found myself with someone else
I'm not above temptation, I'm only human
That's how I know, I know it's true
After all these years, oh.
That's how I know, more than anything
I still want you
I still want you
I still want you
