Tell it like it is

By: Aaron Neville

If you want something to play with
Go and find yourself a toy
Baby, my time is too expensive
And I'm not a little boy

If you are serious
Don't play with my heart, it makes me furious
But if want me to love you
Then, baby, I will, girl, you know I will

Tell it like it is
Don't be ashamed to let your conscience be your guide
But I-I-I-I-I know deep down inside of me
I believe you love me, forget your foolish pride

Life is too short to have sorrow
You may be here today and gone tomorrow
You might as well get what you want
So go on and live, baby, go on and live

Tell it like it is
I'm nothin' to play with, go and find yourself a toy
But I-I-I-I-I
Tell it like it is
My time is too expensive
And I'm not your little boy

Sweet Love

By: Anita Baker

With all my heart I love you baby
Stay with me and you will see
My arms will hold you, baby
Never leave, 'cause I believe

I'm in love, sweet love
Hear me calling out your name, I feel no shame
I'm in love, sweet love
Don't you ever go away, it'll always be this way

Oh, your heart has called me closer to you
I will be all that you need
Just trust in what we're feeling
Never leave 'cause baby, I believe

No stronger love in this world
Oh, baby no, you're my man, I'm your girl
I'll never go, wait and see, can't be wrong
Don't you know this is where you belong

Sweet, sweet and lovely baby
Stay right here, never fear
I will be all that you need
Never leave, 'cause baby, I believe

For the Love of You

~Isley Brothers

Drifting on a memory
Ain't no place I'd rather be
Than with you, loving you
Day will make a way for night
All we'll need is candlelight
And a song soft and long, well

Glad to be here alone
With a lover unlike no other
Safe to see a new horizon
Slowly coming into view

I wanna be living for the love of you
All that I'm giving is for the love of you

Lovely as a ray of sun
That touches me when the morning comes
Feels good to me, my love and me
Smoother than a gentle breeze
Flowing through my mind with ease
Soft as can be well when you're loving me

Love to be
Riding the waves of your love
Enchanted with your touch
It seems to me
We can sail together in and out of mystery

I wanna be living for the love of you
All that I'm giving is for the love of you

Paradise I have within
Can't feel insecure again
You're the key and this I see
Now and then I lose my way
Using words to try and say
What I feel yeah love is real ooh
I might as well
Sign my name on a card
Which could say it better
Time will tell
Cause it seems that I've done
Just about all that I can do do do

I wanna be living for the love of you
All that I'm giving is for the love of you

Save Me

By: Queen

It started off so well
They said we made a perfect pair
I clothed myself in your glory and your love
How I loved you
How I cried
The years of care and loyalty
Were nothing but a sham it seems
The years belie we lived the lie
"I love you 'til I die"

Save me, Save me, Save me
I can't face this life alone
Save me Save me Save me
I'm naked and I'm far from home

The slate will soon be clean
I'll erase the memories
To start again with somebody new
Was it all wasted
All that love ?
I hang my head and I advertise
A soul for sale or rent
I have no heart, I'm cold inside
I have no real intent

Save me, Save me, Save me
I can't face this life alone
Save me Save me
Oh I'm naked and I'm far from home

Each night I cry and still believe the lie
I love you 'til I die

(Save me, Save me, Save me)
Yea, yeah
Save me yeah Save me oh Save me
Don't let me face my life alone
Save me, Save me
Oh I'm naked and I'm far from home

Tracks of my Tears

~Smokey Robinson

People say I'm the life of the party
Because I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
Deep inside I'm blue
So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears..
I need you, need you
Since you left me if you see me with another girl
Seeming like I'm having fun
Although she may be cute
She's just a substitute
Because you're the permanent one..
So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears..
I need you, need you
Outside I'm masquerading
Inside my hope is fading
Just a clown oh yeah
Since you put me down
My smile is my make up
I wear since my break up with you..
So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

Sally's Song

By: Danny Elfman

I sense there's something in the wind
That feels like tragedy's at hand
And though I'd like to stand by him
Can't shake this feeling that I have
The worst is just around the bend
And does he notice my feelings for him?
And will he see how much he means to me?
I think it's not to be.

What will become of my dear friend?
Where will his actions lead us then?
Although I'd like to join the crowd
In their enthusiastic cloud
Try as I may, it doesn't last
And will we ever end up together?
No, I think not, it's never to become
For I am not the one.

These Arms of Mine

By: Otis Redding

These arms of mine
They are lonely, lonely and feeling blue
These arms of mine
They are yearning, yearning from wanting you

And if you would let them hold you
Oh, how grateful I will be
These arms of mine
They are burning, burning from wanting you
These arms of mine
They are wanting, wanting to hold you

And if you would let them hold you
Oh, how grateful I will be
Come on, come on baby
Just be my little woman, just be my lover, oh
I need me somebody, somebody to treat me right, oh
I need your woman's loving arms to hold me tight
And I...I...I need...I need your...I need your tender lips

The Stupid Things

~Robin Thicke

Just charge it to my account
I hope I haven't gone over my limit
With interest rates so swift
No need to scream and shout
No doubt if women are from Venus now
I'll get to them somehow

All I want to do is please you
Please myself by living my life too

And all the stupid things I do
Have absolutely no reflection on How I feel about you
How I feel about
All the stupid things I do have absolutely no reflection on
How I feel about you
How I feel about you yeah

Oh yes I recall
Skipping on breakfast to play basketball
Then feeling two feet small
Sometimes you read like William Shakes
Your scent is sweet like Betty Crocker bakes
I'd love to have your cake and eat it to

All I want to do is please you
Please myself by living my life too

And all the stupid things I do
Have absolutely no reflection on How I feel about you
How I feel about
All the stupid things I do have absolutely no reflection on
How I feel about you
How I feel about you yeah

And all the stupid things I do
Have absolutely no reflection on How I feel about you
How I feel about
Oh how I feel about you
How I feel about you yeah

Slimcea Girl

Is this me?

By: Mono

As she walked down the street
The rain began to fall
He called out, but she passed on by
Like she never noticed him at all

Then the words of a song
Remind her of those days
Sees herself in the face of a stranger
Sat in the station road cafe

She remembers the day
When things were going her way
Only memories remain
Of the way she used to be
The way she used to be

She stay home every night
And exagerates her past
Now he knows that the Slimcea Girl
And she lives alone in Prozac Park

All the old photographs
Were never thrown away
She looks through them for what made her cry
Then she decides live for today

She remembers the day
When things were going her way
Only memories remain
Of the way she used to be
The way she used to be

(Why don't you come with me?
I'll come with you!)

The way she used to be
Way she used to be

She'll never go back again
The way she used to be
Way she used to be

She'll never go back again
Hum…

Life in Mono

By: Mono

The stranger sang a theme
From someone else’s dream
The leaves began to fall
And no one spoke at all
But I can’t seem to recall
When you came along
Ingenue

Ingenue
I just don’t know what to do

The tree-lined avenue
Begins to fade from view
Drowning past regrets
In tea and cigarettes
But I can’t seem to forget
When you came along
Ingenue

Ingenue
I just don’t know what to do

Ingenue
I just don’t know what to do

Ingenue
I just don’t know what to do

Ingenue
I just don’t know what to do

Ingenue (fade out)

Why?

By: Gus Gus

Tomorrow is just another day
When I let the sunshine meet my conscience
You told me stories, gave me new ideas
Pretend only you, you know the answers

I wait longing for you baby
Hmm-mmm-mmm
There's no one around me
Wanting me
'Cause you know, and I know
Enough to understand
I'm a warm waiting idol
Above

Is this what you want?
Do you want a piece of mine?
Tell me now

Are you short of cash?
Our thing was made to last
Tell me, tell me now

Tell me why

Yet another day is waiting
Now, love don't mean nothing
'Cause I'm alive
Hear me out!
Hear me out!
I'm calling, strolling
With an airplane ticket
But nowhere to go
Nowhere to go...

Is this what you want?
Do you want a piece of mine?
Tell me now

Are you short of cash?
Our thing was made to last
Tell me, tell me now

Tell me now

Is this what you want?
Do you want a piece of mine?
Tell me now

Are you short of cash?
Our thing was made to last
Tell me, tell me now
Tell me, tell me now
Tell me, tell me now

Tell me why

Diamonds

By: Ilaria Graziano

something that you do
i really can't explain
the way you make me smile
the way you make me love you
when you're shining...

diamonds don't make promises or deceive me
they don't lie
all they do shine like the sun
stars up in the sky
i see them in your eyes
can i see them now ?
yes, i see them now

little diamonds
please don't go away
let me love you
can i keep you near ?
let me hold you dear ever more
don't know what it is
your magic sparkle kiss
little diamonds
i'm yours

twinkling like a melody in the twilight
ever clear, made in heaven, some are cold
and some are perfect cuts
while some are in the rough
all so beautiful
you're so beautiful

little diamonds
don't you go away
let me love you
can i keep you near ?
let me hold you dear for all time
don't know what it is
your sparkle with a kiss
little diamonds
little diamonds
be mine

November Rain

By: Guns N Roses

When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin' when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same

'Cause nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain

We've been through this such a long long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain

But lovers always come and lovers always go
And no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
Walking away

If we could take the time
to lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin' that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me
then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin'
In the cold November rain

Do you need some time...on your own
Do you need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...
on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone

I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you

Sometimes I need some time...on my
own
Sometimes I need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...
on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone

And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain
I know that you can love me
When there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
Even cold November rain

Don't ya think that you need somebody
Don't ya think that you need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one

Wonderwall

By Oasis

Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now
Backbeat the word was on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody feels
The way I do about you now

And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would
Like to say to you
But I don't know how

Because maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me ?
And after all
You're my wonderwall

Today was gonna be the day?
But they'll never throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do
About you now

And all the roads that lead you there were winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
I don't know how

I said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me ?
And after all
You're my wonderwall

I said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me ?
And after all
You're my wonderwall

Said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me

The Day I Tried to Live

By: Chris Cornell

I woke the same as any other day
Except a voice was in my head
It said seize the day, pull the trigger
Drop the blade, and watch the rolling heads

The day I tried to live
I stole a thousand beggars change
And gave it to the rich

The day I tried to win
I dangled from the power lines
And let the martyrs stretch
Singing

One more time around might do it
One more time around might make it
One more time around might do it
One more time around
The day I tried to live

Words you say never seem
To live up to the ones inside your head
The lives we make never seem
To ever get us anywhere but dead

The day I tried to live
I wallowed in the blood and mud with
All the other pigs

I woke the same as any other day you know
I should have stayed in bed

The day I tried to win
I wallowed in the blood and mud with
All the other pigs

And I learned that I was a liar
Just like you

Everytime You Go Away

By: Brian Mcknight

Everytime that I'm with you girl
Can't believe you share my world
But it's real
And everytime that I hold you close to me
Forever's all that I can see
How it feels
See I don't give a damn
What my hommie say
Don't matter anyway
See I never felt this way before
You leave a brother wantin more

[chorus]
I hate to see you go even though
I know when you're coming back
It's hard to breathe without you girl
And baby that's a fact
I know sometimes you have to leave
But I wish that you could stay
Everytime you go away

From the very first time that I touched you babe
Couldn't find the words to say
You set me free
And everytime that I kiss your lips
Nothing ever tasted quite like this
And you got so deep

See I don't give a damn
What my hommie say
Don't matter anyway
See I've never ever felt this way before
You always leave me wantin more

[chorus]

You re the sunshine of my day
You brighten up my life
You take a piece of me with you
Everytime you say good bye

Providence

By Jakob Martin

I think that I missed Providence while flipping through the pictures on my phone.
Rode out of Rhode Island and I wondered whether anyone would know.
And you know I love to travel but I hate to be away.
On this lonely river gravel I'll drop anchor here some day.
Until I do I'm telling you that everything's amazing.

Well then I break down in the parking lot,
straight out of your line of sight well,
nobody's gonna see me melt down.
Nobody's gonna see me cry these
tears on the pavement,
roll out in a rainy night well
nobody's gonna see me melt down.
Nobody's gonna see me cry.

I snuck up to the second floor.
The musty bedroom where my mother played.
I found a note she wrote her mom a week after her father passed away.
It said 'I know it hurts to laugh now but we've got to move along'.
And I had a painful chuckle at the thought that she was gone.
And this feeling crept across me that I'd never had at home.
Oh so thankful for the solitude,
the chance to be alone.

And I break down in the parking lot,
straight out of your line of sight well,
nobody's gonna see me melt down.
Nobody's gonna see me cry these
tears on the pavement,
roll out in a rainy night well
nobody's gonna see me melt down.
Nobody's gonna see me cry.

And all the things that you'd never thought you'd miss
they are the perfect imperfections,
they linger like a kiss.
Oh, all the treasures that I find along the way;
I'm collecting them like passengers
I'll bring them home someday.
Alright.
Alright.

Break down in the parking lot,
straight out of your line of sight well,
nobody's gonna see me cry.
Tears on the pavement,
roll out in a rainy night well
nobody's gonna see me melt down.
Nobody's gonna see me cry.

Girl Like You

By: Jakob Martin

Sometimes I think about your eyes,
where the ocean meets the sky,
I see the colors making love,
at the horizon and
so many thoughts about the time.
And how I wish I met you sooner.
The things that I will do, for your attention and

He looks at you,
like he lives for you.
And it must be so easy too.
And I know oh that you love him too.
If I could turn back the time,
I would surely,
steal you for mine.
Cause I'll will never find,
another girl, like you.

I have heard you sing your song.
I have hung on every silence,
waiting for the word that will set me free and
I have tried to move along,
I am frozen in defiance.
Hoping for a chance at a harmony and

He looks at you,
like he lives for you.
And it must be so easy too.
And I know, oh that you love him too.
But if I could, turn back the time,
I would surely, steal you for mine.
Cause I'll never find another girl like you.
If I could, turn back the time.
I would surely, steal you for mine.
Cause there will never be, another girl like you.

Fiction and Friction

By: Jakob Martin

It has been more than a year.
I haven't made love with anyone.
Fiction and friction appear.
Drinking my imagination.
I haven't cried over you.
I realize how petty that sounds.
But I could care for anyone.
You are the one I'd take you right here on the ground.

I love the sugar of skin.
I love the waste of a camisole.
I love the trouble we're in.
Feeling you shake like the rainfall.
I never lust over anyone.
No I wouldn't waste that much time.
But I could dream of anyone.
You are the one,
baby you are the one you are mine oh mine.

You are mine oh mine.
I never die over anyone.
Mine oh mine.
You are mine oh mine.

I'll be the word on your lips.
I'll put my weight on your hips.
We'll be the color of wine.
In the deep summertime.
And if it is good to be bad.
I'll be the worst you ever had.
Oh and I've got to draw the line,
baby don't stop until your mine oh mine.

Don't stop until you're,
don't stop until you're,
baby don't stop until you're mine, all mine.

Sin and the Bones

By: Jakob Martin

Why do they make it so hard?
Why do they make it so hard to get by?
Honestly I, feel like I'm taking a chance on my life.
I just want to see the world.
I just want to see the world on my own.
Flying by night,
flying by freeways and exits and streetlights.
Yeah and I swear,
to the night,
I won't forget just what this feel like.
And my friend,
in the fight,
soon you will know,
no one can phrase it just right.
When we come,
to our own,
out of that storm,
yes you will know,
when we come to our own.

Well I shout a curse to the wind.
How could I ever have been so uptight.
Breathing out fire
Now I'm the candle that dances in your eyes.
Yeah, under the sin and the bones,
under this packaging we call our homes,
baby we'll find,
something we wanted is here on the inside.
Yeah and I swear,
to the night,
I won't forget,
just what this feels like and my friend,
in the fight,
soon you will know,
no one can phrase it just right.
When we come,
to our own,
out of that storm,
you will know when we come to our own.

To our own.
Oh oh oh oh.
Oh oh oh oh.

And I swear,
to the night,
I won't forget,
just what you feel like and my friend,
in the fight,
soon you will know,
no one can phrase it just right.
When we come.
to our own,
out of that storm,
yes you will know,
when we come to our own.

A Change is Gonna Come

By Sam Cooke

I was born by the river in a little tent
Oh and just like the river I've been running ever since
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

It's been too hard living but I'm afraid to die
Cause I don't know what's up there beyond the sky
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

I go to the movie and I go downtown
somebody keep telling me don't hang around
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

Then I go to my brother
And I say brother help me please
But he winds up knockin' me
Back down on my knees

Ohhhhhhhhh.....

There been times that I thought I couldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

The Thing About Love

By: Alicia Keys

Love
Love will come find you
Just to remind you
Of who you are

Oh love
It will forsake you
Threaten to break you
Take what you got

Everybody laughs
Everybody cries
Sure it could hurt you baby
But give it a little try
See that's the thing about love

Friends
Sometimes will blind you
Sneak up behind you
You cant give enough

Then life
It will embrace you
Totally amaze you
So you don't give up

Everybody laughs
Everybody cries
Sure it could hurt you baby

But give it a little try
See that's the thing about love

Don't tell me that I'm not the only that's going through it all
Oh sometimes I feel like I'm the only that's going through it all
But its time
Oh its time
For me to shine
Hey
Its my time
Oh its time
For me to shine

Its my time
Said its my time
For me to shine
Its my time
Its bout time
For me to shine

Everybody laughs
Everybody cries
Sure it could hurt u baby
But give it a little try
That's the thing about love
That's the thing about love
That's the thing about
That's the thing about love

Someday We'll Be Together

By: Diana Ross and the Supremes

Someday we'll be together
Say it, say it, say it, say it again (you tell 'em)
Someday we'll be together
Oh, yeah, oh yeah
You're far away
From me my love (say it, baby)
And just as sure my, my baby
As there are stars above
I wanna say it, wanna say it, wanna say it
Someday we'll be together
Oh, yes, we will, yes, we will
(Say it) Someday (some sweet day) we'll be together
I know, I know, I know, I know
My love is yours, baby
Oh, right from the start (baby, honey)
You, you, you posses my soul now, honey
And I know, I know you own my heart
And I wanna say it (tell 'em)
Some day (some sweet day) we'll be together
Yes we will, yes we will
Someday (tell everybody, now) we'll be together
Oh, yes, we will, yes, we will
Long time ago
Now, now sweet thing
I made a big mistake, honey (oh, baby)
I (say it) said, I said goodbye
Oh, oh baby
Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever since that day
Now, now all I, all I wanna do is cry, cry, cry
Hey, hey, hey (oh, dear honey)
I long for you every, every night
Just to kiss your sweet, sweet lips, baby
Hold you ever, ever so tight
And I wanna say (say it)
Someday we'll be together
Oh, yes, we will, yes, we will
Someday we'll be together
Oh, yes, we will, yes, we will (my love)
Someday we'll be together
Oh, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey
Someday we'll be together
Yes, we will, yes, we will

The Love Thieves

I don't know for sure but I think this song is about hypocrisy within religion and its followers as well as in human beings in general. It's about the materialistic qualities and the excessive prideful thinking that people display. That is one thing I really feel sad about. I dislike the excessive pride that so many of us have. The constant need to be better than someone else. Is that the only way to make ourselves feel better? Is it truly human nature to always have one group of people feel more 'inferior' or not quite as human as the rest? Would God really like that? Aren't we supposed to 'love thy neighbor as thyself'? I don't mean to say that I expect people to be perfect because I am far from it. What I would really like is for people to love one another. There is far too much hate going around. We are all love thieves but it isn't too late to change that. Not by a long shot.

The Love Thieves
By: Depeche Mode

Oh the tears that you weep
for the poor tortured souls
who fall at your feet
with their love begging bowls
all the clerks and the tailors
the sharks and the sailors
all good at their trades
but they'll always be failures
Alms for the poor
for the wretched disciples
and the love that they swore
with their hearts on the Bible
beseeching the honor
to sit at your table
and feast on your holiness
as long as they're able
Love needs its martyrs
needs its sacrifices
they live for your beauty
and pay for their vices
love will be the death of
my lonely soul brothers
but their spirit shall live on in
the hearts of all lovers
You're holding court
with your lips and your smile
your body's a halo
their minds are on trial
sure as Adam is Eve
sure as Jonah turned whaler
they're crooked love thieves
and you are their jailer
Love needs its martyrs
needs its sacrifices
they live for your beauty
and pay for their vices
love will be the death of
my lonely soul brothers
but their spirit shall live on in
the hearts of all lovers.

Finally Forever

Yes, Chris Cornell does sing love songs.

Finally Forever
by: Chris Cornell

On the silent night so out of place
I almost lost my nerve
When I saw you walk into my space
A woman like you I could not replace
And it took some patience to catch your eye
Patience to win your heart
Now it feels like I don't have to worry at all
It's finally forever
There's no hill I would not climb for you
No bridge I wouldn't cross
Not a moment passes in my life
That you're not on my mind
Together or apart
And it took some patience to catch your eye
Patience to win your heart
Now it feels like I don't have to worry at all
It's finally forever
Anytime you're lost
Anywhere you're found
Anytime you want
I will be around
Anywhere you seek
Anywhere you stand
Anytime you fall
Anywhere you limp
Even if you break
Anytime I can I will be there for you
I know that you'll understand
You'll understand
Now I never would have imagined this
So I thank my lucky stars
As I see you in your wedding dress
Never would have guessed you'd fill my open arms
And it took some patience to catch your eye
Patience to win your heart
Now it feels like I don't have to worry at all
Yeah it feels like I don't have to worry at all
Yeah it feels like I don't have to worry at all
It's finally forever
Finally forever
