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
