Song Lyrics

[Mayella]

Like a Lover

sergio mendes

 

Like a lover, the morning sun

Slowly rises and kisses you awake

Your smile is soft and fuzzy

As you let it play upon your face

Oh, how I dream

I might be like the morning sun to you

 

Like a lover, the river wind

Sighs and ripples its fingers through your hair

Upon your cheek it lingers

Never having known a sweeter place

Oh, how I dream

I might be like the river wind to you

 

How I envy a cup that knows your lips

Let it be me, my love

And a table that feels your fingertips

Let it be me, let me be your love

Bring an end to the endless days and nights

Without you

 

Like a lover, the velvet moon

Shares your pillow and watches while you sleep

Its light arrives on tiptoe

Gently taking you in its embrace

Oh, how I dream

I might be like the velvet moon to you

 

(Bridge)

 

Oh, how I dream

I might be like the river wind to you

 

How I envy a cup that knows your lips

Let it be me, my love

And a table that feels your fingertips

Let it be me, let me be your love

Bring an end to the endless days and nights

Without you

 

Like a lover, the velvet moon

Shares your pillow and watches while you sleep

Its light arrives on tiptoe

Gently taking you in its embrace

Oh, how I dream

I might be like the velvet moon to you

 

I might be like the velvet moon to you

 

I might be like the velvet moon to you

[Mayella]

More Than This

norah jones

 

I could feel at the time

There was no way of knowing

Fallen leaves in the night

Who can say where they´re blowing

As free as the wind

And hopefully learning

Why the sea on the tide

Has no way of turning

 

More than this

There is nothing

Oh more than this

You tell me one thing

More than this

You know there's nothing

 

It was fun for a while

There was no way of knowing

Like a dream in the night

Who can say where we´re going

No cares in the world

And maybe I´m learning

Why the sea on the tide

It has no way of turning

 

More than this

You know there is nothing

Oh more than this

You tell me one thing

More than this

There is nothing

Nothing

 

More than this

You know there is nothing

Much more than this

You tell me one thing

More than this

There is nothing

More than this

[Mayella]

Caught Up in the Rapture of Love

 

When we met, I always knew

I would feel the magic for you

On my mind constantly

In my arms is where you should be

 

I love you here by me, baby

You let my love fly free

I want you in my life for all time

 

CHORUS:

Caught up in the repture of love

Nothing else can compare

When I feel the magic of you

 

We stand side by side

Till the storms of life pass us by

Light my life, warm my heart

Say tonight will be just the start

 

I love you here by me, baby

you let my love fly free

I want you im my life for all time

 

CHORUS

Caught up in the rapture of love

Nothing else can compare

When I feel the magic of you

The feeling's always new

Caught up in the rapture of you

 

I love you here by me, baby

You let my love fly free

I want you in my life for all time

 

REPEAT SECOND CHORUS

 

Caught up in the rapture of love

Caught up in the rapture of love

[Mayella]

Waiting in Vain

annie lennox

 

From the very first time I rest my eyes on you, boy,

My heart said follow through

But I know now that I'm way down on your line

But the waiting feeling's fine.

So don't treat me like a puppet on a string

'Cause I know how to do my thing.

Don't talk to me as if you think I'm dumb,

I wanna know when you're gonna come.

 

See, I don't wanna wait in vain for your love,

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love,

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love,

'Cause summer is here, I'm still waiting there,

Winter is here and I'm still waiting there.

 

Like I said, it's been three years since I'm knocking on your door

And I still can knock some more.

Ooh boy, ooh boy, is it crazy love ? I wanna know now

For I to knock some more. You see...

In life I know there is lots of grief

But your love is my relief.

Tears in my eyes burn, tears in my eyes burn

While I'm waiting, while I'm waiting for my turn.

 

See, I don't wanna wait in vain for your love,

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love,

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love,

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love,

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love,

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love,

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love,

'Cause summer is here, I'm still waiting there,

Winter is here and I'm still waiting there.

 

Like I said, it's been three years since I'm knocking on your door

And I still can knock some more.

Ooh boy, ooh boy, is it crazy love ? I wanna know now

tears in my eyes burn, tears in my eyes burn

While I'm waiting, while I'm waiting for my turn, see

Ooh boy, ooh boy, is it crazy love ? I wanna know now

For I to knock some more.

In life I know there is lots of grief

But your love is my relief.

[Mayella]

Land of the Loving

david benoit & diane reeves

 

Deep in your eyes is a promise

Love can be ours if we want it

Starting tonight ev'ry dream I ever knew

Here in your arms I'm believing

Fin'lly my life has a meaning of its own

Here in the land of loving I am home.

 

I was alone in the city

Searchin' for someone to find me

Cold empty nights and a million strangers' eyes

Here in your arms I'm beginning

To leave behind all the loneliness I knew

Here in the land of loving there is you.

 

In this simple room magic is made

Though the world seems unchanged

Leave the lights on I'm a bit afraid

This might be just a sweet dream.

 

Deep in the night love is growing

Though I had no way of knowing

That when I found you I found ev'rything I need

Here in your love I'll be staying

Fin'lly my life won't be living all alone

Here in the land of the loving I am home.

[blitzy]

Hands Down by Dashboard Confessional

 

Breathe in for luck,

breathe in so deep,

this air is blessed,

you share with me.

This night is wild,

so calm and dull,

these hearts they race,

from self control.

Your legs are smooth,

as they graze mine,

we're doing fine,

we're doing nothing at all.

 

My hopes are so high,

that your kiss might k*ll me.

So won't you k*ll me,

so I die happy.

My heart is yours to fill or burst,

to break or bury,

or wear as jewelery,

which ever you prefer.

 

The words are hushed lets not get busted;

just lay entwined here, undiscovered.

Safe from the earth and all the stupid questions..

"hey did you get some?"

Man, that is so dumb.

Stay quiet, stay near, stay close they can't hear...

so we can get some.

 

My hopes are so high that your kiss might k*ll me.

So won't you k*ll me, so I die happy.

My heart is yours to fill or burst,

to break or bury, or wear as jewelery,

which ever you prefer.

 

Hands down this is the best day I can ever remember,

I'll always remember the sound of the stereo,

the dim of the soft lights,

the scent of your hair that you twirled in your fingers

and the time on the clock when we realized it's so late

and this walk that we shared together.

The streets were wet

and the gate was locked so I jumped it,

and let you in.

And you stood at the door with your hands on my waist

and you kissed me like you meant it.

And I knew that you meant it,

that you meant it,

that you meant it,

and I knew,

that you meant it,

that you meant it.

[wjc-934]

A Little Bit

by M.Y.M.P.

 

 

 

I was kinda hesitant to tell you

Should I let you know

I was never really like this before

Need I say more

 

Or maybe I'm confused when you are near me

I don't know what to do or I should be

There's only one thing in my mind

That's you and me

 

CHORUS

I'm a little bit of crazy

I'm a little bit of a fool

I'm a little bit of lonely

I'm a little bit of all

Oh, I need a cure

Just a little bit of you

And I will fall

 

I'm always on the run to see you

Would you allow me to

It wasn't my intention to hurt you

This feeling is true

 

Or maybe I'm confused when you are near me

I don't know what to do or I should be

There's only one thing in my mind

That's you and me

 

CHORUS

I'm a little bit of crazy

I'm a little bit of a fool

I'm a little bit of lonely

I'm a little bit of all

Oh, I need a cure

Just a little bit of you

And I will fall

Title: Beautiful Girl

(A Farriss)

 

Nicky's in the corner

With a black coat on

Running from a bad home

With some cat inside

Now where did you find her

Among the neon lights (or ghosts?)

That haunt the streets outside

She says

Stay with me

 

Beautiful girl

Stay with me

Beautiful girl

Stay with me

She wants to go home

 

From doorway to doorway

Street corner to corner

With the neon ghosts in the city

And she says

 

Beautiful girl

Stay with me

Beautiful girl

Stay with me

She wants to go home

 

She's so scared

So very frightened

Anything could happen

Right here tonight

Title: Space Cowboy

 

 

I told you 'bout living in the u.s. of a.

Don't you know that i'm a gangster of love

Let me tell you people that i found a new way

And i'm tired of all this talk about love

And the same old story with a new set of words

About the good and the bad and the poor

And the times keep on changin'

So i'm keepin' on top

Of every fat cat who walks through my door

 

I'm a space cowboy

Bet you weren't ready for that

I'm a space cowboy

I'm sure you know where it's at

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

 

I was born on this rock

And i've been travelin' through space

Since the moment i first realized

What all you fast talkin' cats would do if you could

You know, i'm ready for the final surprise

There ain't no way around it

Ain't nothing to say

That's gonna satisfy my soul deep inside

 

All the prayers and surveyors

Keep the whole place uptight

While it keeps on gettin' darker outside

 

I'm a space cowboy

Bet you weren't ready for that

I'm a space cowboy

I'm sure you know where it's at

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

 

I see the show downs, slow downs, lost and found, turn arounds

The boys in the military shirts

I keep my eyes on the prize, on the long fallen skies

And i don't let my friends get hurt

All you back room schemers, small trip dreamers

Better find something new to say

Cause you're the same old story

It's the same old crime

And you got some heavy dues to pay

 

I'm a space cowboy

Bet you weren't ready for that

I'm a space cowboy

I'm sure you know where it's at

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Supra]

She's got a way ~ Billy Joel

 

She's got a way about her

I don't know what it is

But I know that I can't live without her

 

She's got a way of pleasin'

I don't know what it is

But there doesn't have to be a reason

Anyway

 

She's got a smile that heals me

I don't know why it is

But I have to laugh when she reveals me

 

She's got a way of talkin'

I don't know what it is

But it lifts me up when we are walkin'

Anywhere

 

She comes to me when I'm feelin' down

Inspires me without a sound

She touches me and I get turned around

 

She's got a way of showin'

How I make her feel

And I find the strength to keep on goin'

 

She's got a light around her

And everywhere she goes

A million dreams of love surround her

Everywhere

 

She comes to me when I'm feelin' down

Inspires me without a sound

She touches me and I get turned around

 

She's got a smile that heals me

I don't know why it is

But I have to laugh when she reveals me

 

She's got a way about her

I don't know what it is

But I know that I can't live without her

Anyway

[plainly_female]

shoot me. its been a long while...

 

hope everyone's as groovy as how i had it last time here.

 

keep it comin, folks!

 

pa isang mush for starters. ngyarhar

 

 

BORN TO LOVE - GEORGE DUKE

 

You walk into my life

And change the balance of my days

With your eyes you say

I'm yours and you are mine

 

But still, something's very wrong

No I can't just go along

Though you want to stay

I must find a reason to delay

 

*

We're not the same

You playing game, I know

But If I keep my feeling strong

I'll find the song you sing

Though I can tell we're worlds apart

And in my heart it's clear

That love has found a cloudy day

I'm here to say that I

was born to love you (more)

 

Such a lovely face

With a warm and tender smile

Though I want you so

Found in deep inside keep saying

 

Don't trust your heart this time

Could my mind be playing games

Am I so betrayed that my heart and mind

Can never be the same .....

 

 

 

tsk tsk tsk........mi madre.

[plainly_female]

lemme jive it up a bit...for a cruise

 

 

FAST CAR - TRACY CHAPMAN

 

You got a fast car

I want a ticket to anywhere

Maybe we make a deal

Maybe together we can get somewhere

 

Anyplace is better

Starting from zero got nothing to lose

Maybe we'll make something

But me myself I got nothing to prove

 

You got a fast car

And I got a plan to get us out of here

I been working at the convenience store

Managed to save just a little bit of money

We won't have to drive too far

Just 'cross the border and into the city

You and I can both get jobs

And finally see what it means to be living

 

You see my old man's got a problem

He live with the bottle that's the way it is

He says his body's too old for working

I say his body's too young to look like his

My mama went off and left him

She wanted more from life than he could give

I said somebody's got to take care of him

So I quit school and that's what I did

 

You got a fast car

But is it fast enough so we can fly away

We gotta make a decision

We leave tonight or live and die this way

 

I remember we were driving driving in your car

The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk

City lights lay out before us

And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder

And I had a feeling that I belonged

And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

 

You got a fast car

And we go cruising to entertain ourselves

You still ain't got a job

And I work in a market as a checkout girl

I know things will get better

You'll find work and I'll get promoted

We'll move out of the shelter

Buy a big house and live in the suburbs

 

I remember we were driving driving in your car

The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk

City lights lay out before us

And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder

And I had a feeling that I belonged

And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

 

You got a fast car

And I got a job that pays all our bills

You stay out drinking late at the bar

See more of your friends than you do of your kids

I'd always hoped for better

Thought maybe together you and me would find it

I got no plans I ain't going nowhere

So take your fast car and keep on driving

 

So remember we were driving driving in your car

The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk

City lights lay out before us

And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder

And I had a feeling that I belonged

And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

 

You got a fast car

But is it fast enough so you can fly away

You gotta make a decision

You leave tonight or live and die this way.....

GIVE ME ONE REASON

 

Give me one reason to stay here - and I'll turn right back around

Give me one reason to stay here - and I'll turn right back around

Because I don't want leave you lonely

But you got to make me change my mind

 

Baby I got your number and I know that you got mine

But you know that I called you, I called too many times

You can call me baby, you can call me anytime

But you got to call me

 

Give me one reason to stay here - and I'll turn right back around

Give me one reason to stay here - and I'll turn right back around

Because I don't want leave you lonely

But you got to make me change my mind

 

I don't want no one to squeeze me - they might take away my life

I don't want no one to squeeze me - they might take away my life

I just want someone to hold me and rock me through the night

 

This youthful heart can love you and give you what you need

This youthful heart can love you and give you what you need

But I'm too old to go chasing you around

Wasting my precious energy

 

Give me one reason to stay here - and I'll turn right back around

Give me one reason to stay here - and I'll turn right back around

Because I don't want leave you lonely

But you got to make me change my mind

 

Baby just give me one reason - Give me just one reason why

Baby just give me one reason - Give me just one reason why I should stay

Said I told you that I loved you

And there ain't no more to say..........

[plainly_female]

one of them all-time faves. never fails

 

 

HOWARD JONES - NO ONE IS TO BLAME

 

You can look at the menu but you just can't eat

You can feel the cushions but you can't have a seat

You can dip your foot in the pool but you can't have a swim

You can feel the punishment but you can't commit the sin

And you want her and she wants you

We want everyone

And you want her and she wants you

No one, no one, no one ever is to blame

You can build a mansion but you just can't live in it

You're the fastest runner but you're not allowed to win

Some break the rules

And live to count the cost

The insecurity is the thing that won't get lost

And you want her and she wants you

We want everyone

And you want her and she wants you

No one, no one, no one ever is to blame

You can see the summit but you can't reach it

It's the last piece of the puzzle but you just can't make it fit

Doctor says you're cured but you still feel the pain

Aspirations in the clouds but your hopes go down the drain

And you want her and she wants you

We want everyone

And you want her and she wants you

No one, no one, no one ever is to blame

No one ever is to blame

No one ever is to blame..........

[plainly_female]

DISHWALLA - EVERY LITTLE THING

 

Let me in to see you in the morning light

To get me on and all along the tears they come

See all come, I want you to believe in life

But I get the strangest feeling that you've gone away

And when you find out who you are its too late to change

 

I wish I could be everylittle thing you wanted, all the time

Oh, I wish I could be everylittle thing you wanted, all the time, sometimes

 

Lift me up, just lift me up dont make a sound

Let me hold you up before you hit the ground

See all come, you say your alright

But i get the strangest feeling that you've gone away, you've gone away

And when you find out who you are too late to change

 

I wish I could be every little thing you wanted, all the time

Oh, I wish I could be every little thing you wanted, every thing you wanted, all the time

Don't give me up

Don't give me up tonight

Soon nothing will right at all, salvation

Cause when you find out who you are too late to change

Too late to change

 

I wish I could be every little thing you wanted, all the time

Oh, I wish I could be every little thing you wanted every little you wanted all the time

This time, everylittle thing you wanted all the time, oh

But I get the strangest feeling that you've gone away...........

 

 

arggghhhh....
