Song Lyrics

[manghud]

^ i love that song...

 

WHEN YOUR BODY GETS WEAK by Babyface

 

Tonight I'm gonna hold you

I'm gonna touch you, and lay you down

Tonight I'm gonna kiss you

I'm gonna taste you, all the way down

 

Tonight you don't have to be lonely

You need only to call me

And I will be down

 

When your body gets weak

And you need some affection, oh baby

I'll lay you down

When your body's in need

And you need some attention, oh lady

I'll lay you down

 

Tonight when I've been inside you

I'll lay down beside you, and stay all night long, yes I will

Tonight I just want you to teach me

Girl I just want to please thee

So just let's get it on, baby

 

Tonight there be no intermissions

I have only one mission

That's turning you on

 

HOOK

 

Tonight you don't have to be lonely

You need only to call me

And I will be down

 

HOOK

Live-Lightning crashes

 

Lightning Crashes..... an new mother cries

F C G

Hopeless center falls to the floor

F C G F

The angel opens her eyes....The confusion sets in

C G

Before the doctor can even close the door

 

F B G

Lightning crashes a old mother dies

F B G

Her in tensions fall, to the floor

F B G F

The angel closes her eyes , the confusion that was hers

B G

belongs now to the baby down the hall

 

F C G

Whoa I feel it, comin back again

F C G

Like a rollin, thunder chasing the wind

F C G F

Forces pulling towards the center of the earth again

C G

I can Feel it

 

Verse 2

Lightning Crashes, a new mother cries

In this moment she's been waiting for

The angel opens her eyes

pale blue colored eyes

presents the circle, and puts the glory out to hide, hide

[Boysbe]

live-All over you

 

All Over You

 

 

Our love is like water

Pinned down and abused

For being strange

 

Our love is no other

Than me alone

For me all day

Our love is like water/angels

Pinned down and abused

 

All over you, all over me

The sun, the fields, the sky

I’ve often tried to hold the sea

The sun, the fields, the tide

Pay me now, lay me down

[Boysbe]

Para sa mga Anghel ng MTC:

 

stonefree - anghel

 

 

Mula nang makilala ka

Di na makapaniwala

Na kahit pa magka-iba

Tayo'y sadyang naging isa

 

Sa langit ay ba't kumalas

Nahulog ba mula itaas

Pak-pak mo ay pakibaklas

Nang magkasama ka ng mas madalas

 

[Chorus]

Anghel sa lupa manatili ka

Hindi na hahayaang lumipad at iwan ako

Anghel sa lupa nahuhumaling na

Langit nadarama pag kapiling ka

 

Sana'y di na lumisan pa

Di ko yata makakaya

Ang 'di ko na makita pa

Pagtitig mo sa aking mata

 

Naliligaw ba ng landas

Nariyan ka pa ba bukas

Pakpak mo ay pakibaklas

Nang makakasama ka ng mas madalas

[kadafy]

this song also reminds me of last night (when am with him)....

 

Last Night

 

Last night, you were so into it

You told me secrets that, you never told a soul

You were so nervous and, yet oh so comfortable

As we explored your image of love

 

I drank your wine as you tasted mine

I kissed your lips you felt my mind slip

Into your soul

I almost cried cuz it was so beautiful

 

1-Last night I was inside of you

Last night while making love to you

I saw the sun, the moon, the mountains and the rivers

I saw heaven when I made sweet love to you

 

Last night there was no blood in it

It was so special and, so very innocent

We talked of memories, our favorite fantasies

As we explored, our visions of love

 

Deep in the night, right by the fireside

You felt my candlelight in your soul

You felt incredible, I started to explode

I almost cried cuz it was so beautiful

(repeat 1)

 

Sunlight, (sunlight) red roses (red roses)

The scent of you it calms the heart

The sight of you I fall apart

Moonlight, the things we noticed

Oh we're in love, that's when it comes

And I'm so, I'm so in love

 

 

hey kashieca. i've heard this song by a-z yet a couple of years back. i was searching for the lyrics but i forgot the title. muchas gracias!

[neville]

tagal kong hinanap ang kantang ito...lss na siya

 

the heart of the matter

don henley

 

got the call today, I didnt wanna hear

But I knew that it would come

An old, true friend of ours was talkin on the phone

She said youd found someone

And I thought of all the bad luck,

And the struggles we went through

And how I lost me and you lost you

What are these voices outside loves open door

Make us throw off our contentment

And beg for something more?

Im learning to live without you now

But I miss you sometimes

The more I know, the less I understand

All the things I thought I knew, Im learning again

Ive been tryin to get down

To the heart of the matter

But my will gets weak

And my thoughts seem to scatter

But I think its about forgiveness

Forgiveness

Even if, even if you dont love me anymore

These times are so uncertain

Theres a yearning undefined

And people filled with rage

We all need a little tenderness

How can love survive in such a graceless age?

The trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness

They're the very things - we k*ll I guess

Pride and competition

Cannot fill these empty arms

And the work I put between us

You know it doesnt keep me warm

Im learning to live without you now

But I miss you, baby

And the more I know, the less I understand

All the things I thought Id figured out

I have to learn again

Ive been trying to get down

To the heart of the matter

But everything changes

And my friends seem to scatter

But I think its about forgiveness

Forgiveness

Even if, even if you dont love me anymore

There are people in your life whove come and gone

They let you down you know they hurt your pride

You better put it all behind you baby; life goes on

You keep carryin that anger; itll eat you up inside, baby

Ive been trying to get down

To the heart of the matter

But my will gets weak

And my thought seem to scatter

But I think its about forgiveness

Forgiveness

Even if, even if you dont love me

Ive been tryin to get down

To the heart of the matter

Because the flesh will get weak

And the ashes will scatter

So Im thinkin about forgiveness

Forgiveness

Even if, even if you dont love me

Forgiveness

Forgiveness - baby

Forgiveness

Forgiveness

Forgiveness

Forgiveness

Even if, you dont love me anymore

[heartbreak18]

THE HARDEST THING

by 98 degrees

 

We both know that I shouldn't be here

This is wrong

And baby it's killing me, it's killing you

Both of us trying to be strong

 

 

I've got somewhere else to be

Promises to keep

Someone else who loves me

And trusts me fast asleep

 

 

I've made up my mind

There is no turning back

She's been good to me

And she deserves better than that

 

 

It's the hardest thing I'll ever have to do

To look you in the eye

And tell you I don't love you

It's the hardest thing I'll ever have to lie

To show no emotion when you start to cry

 

 

I can't let you see what you mean to me

When my hands are tied and my heart's not free

We're not meant to be

 

 

It's the hardest thing I'll ever had to do

To turn around and walk away

Pretending I don't love you

 

 

I know that we'll meet again

Fate has a place and time

So you can get on with your life

I've got to be cruel to be kind

 

 

Like Dr. Zhivago

All my love I'll be sending

And you will never know cuz

There can be no happy ending

 

 

It's the hardest thing I'll ever have to do

To look you in the eye

And tell you I don't love you

It's the hardest thing I'll ever have to lie

To show no emotion when you start to cry

 

 

Maybe another time, another day

As much as I want to, I can't stay

 

(Ooh)

 

I've made up my mind

There is no turning back

She's been good to me

And she deserves better than that

 

 

It's the hardest thing I'll ever have to do

To look you in the eye

And tell you I don't love you

It's the hardest thing I'll ever have to lie

To show no emotion when you start to cry

[neville]

the best imago song for me...even if it's a damn cover

 

Imago

Spolarium

 

dumilim ang paligid

may tumawag sa pangalan ko

labing isang palapag

tinanong kung okay lang ako

sabay abot ng baso

may naghihintay

at bakit ba pag nagsawa na ako

biglang ayoko na

at ngayon di parin alam

kung bat tayo nandito

pwede ba itigil mo na

ang pag ikot ng mundo

lumiwanag ang buwan

san juan

diko na nasasakyan

ang lahat ng bagay ay

gumuguhit nalang saking lalamunan

ewan ko at ewan natin

sinong may pakana

at bakit ba

tumilapon ang gintong alak

diyan sa paligid mo

at ngayon

di parin alam

kung bat tayo nandito

pwede ba

itigil mo na

ang pagikot ng mundo

umiyak ang umaga

anong sinulat ni enteng at joey diyan

sa pintong salamin

diko na mabasa pagkat merong nagbura!

ewan ko at ewan natin sino may pakana

at bakit ba tumiliapon ang SPOLIRIUM diyan sa paligid mo

at ngayon di parin alam

kung bat tayo nandito

pwede ba

itgil mo na

ang pagikot ng mundo

pwede ba

itigil mona

ang pagikot na MUNDO!!!

pwede ba itigil mona

ang pagikot ng mundo7X

Runaway

 

Say it's true, there's nothing like me and you

Not alone, tell me you feel it too

And I would runaway

I would runaway, yeah

I would runaway

I would runaway with you

 

Cause I have fallen in love

With you, no never have

I'm never gonna stop falling in love, with you

 

Close the door, lay down upon the floor

And by candlelight, make love to me through the night

Cause I have runaway

I have runaway, yeah

I have runaway, runaway

I have runaway with you

 

 

And I would runaway

I would runaway, yeah

I would runaway

I would runaway with you

Falling Away

Miguel Escueta

 

Here we go, it’s crashing down around

Through the speed as we try to define

Doubts re-surface, waves you can’t withstand

We find ourselves here once again

And we’re…

 

We’re falling away from this

 

[Chorus:]

Wasn’t it enough to let you feel the sun?

Am I not worth every fall?

We’ve gone too deep to just let this fly

So please hold on and let me save us

Please hold on and let me save us

 

How long must I weather this storm?

I’m drowning into your condescending eyes

Please bend for me, even just a bit

Can’t you see that I am already broken?

And you’re…

 

You’re falling away from me

 

[Chorus:]

Wasn’t it enough to let you feel the sun?

Am I not worth every fall?

We’ve gone too deep to just let this fly

So please hold on and let me save us

Please hold on and let me save us

 

[bridge:]

Oh… can’t you feel it?

We are falling into the abyss

That we just can’t comprehend

Oh… don’t you know that

Some wounds just never heal

 

We’re falling away from this

 

[Chorus:] [2x]

Wasn’t it enough to let you feel the sun?

Am I not worth every fall?

We’ve gone too deep to just let this fly

So please hold on and let me save us

Please hold on and let me save us

 

Please hold on and let me save us..

[little_devil]

upside down

 

i've been spending some time

thinking i'd be alright

don't know if i could

really make it tonight

 

lie awake in the dark

come down then i start

thinking about you

is almost breaking my heart

 

i don't know where i went wrong

or what's going on

baby i feel like

our love's lost tonight

 

should i stay, should i go

well i really don't know

lately i've been missing you so

 

baby you don't understand

our love lies lost

but your still

holding my hand

 

oh and then you walk away

just tonight

i want you to stay

 

you're turning me on

you turn me around

you turn my whole world

upside down

repeat twice

 

everytime i hurt you

well it's hurting me too

don't know if

i could really stay here tonight

 

tired of thinking of you

and everything that you do

tell me what am i supposed to do

well i just wanted to say that

i need you today

tell me its all gonna work out alright

 

i don't know where i should start

but with all of my heart

baby let me

be your lover tonight

the arrow (through my heart) by az yet

written by nrian mcknight

 

 

quietly i watch you sleep

hopefully you won't hear what i say

wondering if I turned the clouds

happy the moment i tasted your rain

tonight was the night

that i saw my first sight

of how pleasure wins over pain

now i know what i know

don't wanna ever let you go

i just hope that you feel the same

 

you shot your arrow

through my restless, shaking heart

you came down on me slow

drew back your bow

my lady, you shot your arrow

sraight through my heart

i kiss your mouth and stroke your hair

itently i hang on your every breath

i know what i'm feeling right now

is more than just lust

 

for the sake of your flesh

girl, i need you now

i'll try my best to learn how

to be all that my words might say

caressing your skin

i never imagined

that I'd ever feel this way

 

girl, i need you

ill try my best to learn how

to be all that my words might say

caressing your skin

i never imagined i could ever feel this way

[kadafy]

i guess you've heard

i guess you know

in time i'd have told you

gut i guess i'm too slow

 

it's overly romantic

but i know that it's real

i hope you don't mind

if i say what i feel

 

it's like i'm in somebody else's dream

this could not be happening to me

 

but you were there

you were everything i've never seen

you woke me up from this long & endless sleep

i was alone

i opened my eyes and you were there

 

don't be alarmed

no don't be concerned

i don't want to change things

leave them just as they were

 

i mean nothing's really different

it's me who feels strange

i'm always lost for words

when someone mentions your name

 

i know that i'll get over this for sure

i'm not the type who dreams there could be more

 

can i take your smile home with me

or the magic in your hair

 

the rain has stopped

the storm has passed

look at all the colors

now the sun's here at last

 

i suppose that you'll be leaving

but i want you to know

part of me stays with you

even after you go

 

like an actor playing someone else's dream

this could not be happening to me

Bakit part 2

Mayonnaise

 

lumuha ka ng nagiisa, nakadungaw sa buwan.

Lumilipad ang isip mo,nakasabit sa ulap.

 

Ngunit bakit, pinilit, kung ayaw ko'ng masaktan?

 

Sinabe ko sa kanya, na 'di parin nililikha ang katulad ko na parang timang, at 'di mo parin maintindihan.

 

Malayo ang pagtitig mo, dala ng hangin.

Akala ko ay pwede pa na umasa sa iyo.

 

Ngunit bakit, pinilit, kung ayaw ko'ng masaktan?

 

Sinabe ko sa kanya, na 'di parin nililikha ang katulad ko na parang timang, at 'di mo parin maintindihan.

 

O bakit ba, pag wala ka na, ako'y kulang

 

Sinabe ko sa kanya, na 'di parin nililikha ang katulad ko na parang timang, at 'di mo parin maintindihan.

LOVE IS (Brian McKnight & Vanessa Williams)

 

They say it's a river, that circles the Earth

A beam of light shinin' to the edge of the universe

It conquers all

It changes everything

 

They say it's a blessing

They say it's a gift

They say it's a miracle and I believe that it is

It conquers all

But it's a mystery

 

1 - Love breaks your heart

Love takes no less than everything

Love makes it hard

 

And it fades away

So easily

 

In this world we've created

In this place that we live

In the blink of an eye babe, the darkness slips in

Love lights the world

Unites the lovers for eternity

 

2 - Love breaks the chains

Love aches for every one of us

Love takes the tears and the pain

And then turns it into the beauty that remains

 

Look at this place

It was paradise

But now it's dying

I'll pray for love

 

I'll take, my chances that it's not too late

 

And it fades away so easily

[Sweet Introvert]

Fools in Love

Joe Jackson

 

Fools in love, well are there any other kind of lovers?

Fools in love, is there any other kind of pain?

 

Everything you do, everywhere you go now

Everything you touch, everything you feel

Everything you see, everything you know now

Everything you do, you do it for your lady

Love your lady, love your lady

Love your lady, love...

 

Fools in love, are there any creatures more pathetic?

Fools in love, never knowing when theyve lost the game

 

Everything you do, everywhere you go now

Everything you touch, everything you feel

Everything you see, everything you know now

Everything you do, you do it for your lady

Love your lady, love your lady

Love your lady, love...

 

Fools in love they think theyre heroes

cause they get to feel no pain

I say fools in love are zeros

I should know, I should know

Because this fools in love again

 

Fools in love, gently hold each others hands forever

Fools in love, gently tear each other limb from limb

 

Everything you do, everywhere you go now

Everything you touch, everything you feel

Everything you do, even your rock n roll now

Nothing mean a thing except you and your lady

Love your lady, love your lady

Love your lady, love...

 

Fools in love they think theyre heroes

cause they get to feel no pain

I say fools in love are zeros

I should know, I should know

Because this fools in love again

[Sweet Introvert]

Be My Number Two

Joe Jackson

 

Won't you be my number two

Me and number one are through

There won't be too much to do

Just smile when I feel blue

 

And there's not much left of me

What you get is what you see

Is it worth the energy

I leave it up to you

 

And if you got something to say to me

Don't try to play your funny ways on me

I know that it's really not fair of me

But my heart's seen too much action

 

And every time I look at you

You'll be who I want you to

And I'll do what I can do

To make a dream or two come true

If you'll be my

If you be my number two

Escape (The Pina Colada Song)

(Rupert Holmes)

 

I was tired of my lady, we'd been together too long.

Like a worn-out recording, of a favorite song.

So while she lay there sleeping, I read the paper in bed.

And in the personals column, there was this letter I read:

 

"If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.

If you're not into yoga, if you have half-a-brain.

If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape.

I'm the lady you've looked for, write to me, and escape."

 

I didn't think about my lady, I know that sounds kind of mean.

But me and my old lady, had fallen into the same old dull routine.

So I wrote to the paper, took out a personal ad.

And though I'm nobody's poet, I thought it wasn't half-bad.

 

"Yes, I like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.

I'm not much into health food, I am into champagne.

I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon, and cut through all this red tape.

At a bar called O'Malley's, where we'll plan our escape."

 

So I waited with high hopes, then she walked in the place.

I knew her smile in an instant, I knew the curve of her face.

It was my own lovely lady, and she said, "Oh, it's you."

And we laughed for a moment, and I said, "I never knew"..

 

"That you liked Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.

And the feel of the ocean, and the taste of champagne.

If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape.

You're the love that I've looked for, come with me, and escape."

 

"If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.

If you're not into yoga, if you have half-a-brain.

If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape.

You're the love that I've looked for, come with me, and escape."

"A Different Kind of Pain"

by: Cold

 

Before I let you go

Give me just one more night to show you

Just how I feel

I lost all my control

If it takes my whole damned life I'll

Make this up to you

 

I'm kinda like the waves that roll their whole life

Towards somewhere crashing it on the shore

That's blown in by the wind that carries the clouds

To hide my wish on a fallen star

 

A different kind of pain, is someone there to hold you

Is someone there to take you away from me

 

I tried to let you go

I wish I could turn back time and show

You just how I feel

I needed you to know

If it takes my whole damned life I'll

Make this up to you

 

Before you let me go, I needed you to know

HAIRDRESSER ON FIRE

by morrissey

 

Here is London, giddy of London

Is it home of the free -

Or what ?

 

Can you squeeze me

Into an empty page of your diary

And psychologically save me

I've got faith in you

I sense the power

Within the fingers

Within an hour the power

Could totally destroy me

(Or, it could save my life)

 

Oh, here is London

"Home of the brash, outrageous and free"

You are repressed

But you're remarkably dressed

Is it Real ?

And you're always busy

 

Really busy

Busy, busy

Oh, hairdresser on fire

All around Sloane Square

And you're just so busy

Busy, busy

Busy scissors

Oh, hairdresser on fire

(Only the other day)

 

Was a client, over-cautious

He made you nervous

And when he said

"I'm gonna sue you"

Oh, I really felt for you ...mmm...

 

So can you squeeze me

Into an empty page of your diary;

And supernaturally change me ?

Change me, change

Oh, here in London

"Home of the brash, outrageous and free"

You are repressed

But you're remarkably dressed

Is it Real ?

And you're always busy

 

Really busy

Busy clippers

Oh, hairdresser on fire

All around Sloane Square

 

And you're just too busy

To see me

Busy clippers

Oh, hairdresser on fire

(Only the other day)

Gun Shy

[ 10, 000 Maniacs-Natalie Merchant ]

 

I always knew that you would take yourself far from home

as soon as, as far as you could go.

By the 1/4 inch cut of your hair and the Army issue green,

for the past eight weeks I can tell where you've been.

For I knew, I could see, it was all cut and dried to me

there was soldier's blue blood streaming inside your veins.

There is a world outside of this room and when you meet it promise me

you won't meet it with your gun.

 

So now you are one of the brave few, it's awful sad we need boys like you.

I hope the day never comes for

"Here's your live round son. Stock and barrel, safety, trigger, here's your gun."

Well I knew, I could see, it was all cut and dried to me

there was soldiers blue blood streaming inside your veins.

There is a world outside of this room and when you meet it promise me

you won't meet it with your gun taking aim.

For I don't mean to argue, they've made a decent boy of you

and I don't mean to spoil your home coming,

but baby brother you should expect me to.

 

"Stock and barrel, safety, trigger, here's your gun."

 

So now does your heart pitter pat with a patriotic song

when you see the stripes of Old Glory waving?

Well I knew, I could see, it was all cut and dried to me

there was soldier's blue blood streaming inside your veins.

There is a world outside of this room and when you meet it promise me

you won't meet it with your gun taking aim.

I don't mean to argue, they've made a decent boy of you

and I don't mean to spoil your homecoming my baby brother Jude

and I don't mean to hurt you by saying this again,

they're so good at making soldiers but they're not so good at making men.
