A Woman's Worth ~ Alicia Keys

You could buy me diamonds
You could buy me pearls
Take me on a cruise around the world
Baby, you know I'm worth it
Dinner lit by candles
Run my bubble bath
Make love tenderly to last a lifetime
Baby, you know I'm worth it

Wanna please, wanna keep, wanna treat, your woman right
Now just don't, better show that she knows she's worth your time
You will lose if you choose to refuse to put her first
She will if she can't find a man who knows her worth

Mmmmhmmmm...

'Cause a real man knows a real woman when he sees her
And a real woman knows a real man ain't afraid to please her
A real woman knows a real man always comes first
And a real man just can't deny a woman's worth

Mmmmhmmmm...

Hold up
'Cause if you treat me fairly, I'll give you all my goods
Treat you like a real woman should
Baby, I know you're worth it
If you never play me, promise not to blow off
I'll hold you down when sh*t gets rough
'Cause baby I know you're worth it

She walks the mile, makes you smile, all the while being true
Dont take for granted the passion she has for you
You will lose if you choose to refuse to put her first
She will if she can't find a man who knows her worth

'Cause a real man knows a real woman when he sees her
And a real woman knows a real man ain't afraid to please her
A real woman knows a real man always comes first
And a real man just can't deny a woman's worth

No need to read between the lines, spelled out for you
Just hear this song cause you can't go wrong with your values
A woman, woman, woman, woman's worth

'Cause a real man knows a real woman when he sees her
And a real woman knows a real man ain't afraid to please her
A real woman knows a real man always comes first
And a real man just can't deny a woman's worth

A woman's worth...

Mmmmhmmmm...

Fallin' ~ Alicia Keys

I keep on fallin' in
And out love with you
Sometimes I love ya
Sometimes you make me
feel blue
Sometimes I feel good
At times I feel used
I feel you darlin'
Makes me so confused

I keep on fallin'
In and out
Of love with you
I never loved someone
The way that I loved you

Oh, oh
I never felt this way
How do you give me
So much pleasure
And cause me
So much pain?
Yeah yeah
'Cause when I think
I've takin' more
Than would a fool
I start fallin'
Back in love with you

I keep on fallin'
In and out
Of love with you
I never loved someone
The way that I loved you

I'm fallin'...

I keep on fallin'
In and out
Of love with you
I never loved someone
The way that I loved you

I'm fallin in and out
I'm fallin...

Goodbye ~ Alicia Keys

Mmmhmm, bye bye

How do you love someone
That hurts you oh so bad
With intentions good
Was all he ever had

But how do I let go when I've
Loved him for so long and I've
Given him all that I could
Maybe love is a hopeless crime
Giving up what seems your lifetime
What went wrong with something once so good

How do you find the words to say
To say goodbye
If your heart don't have the heart to say
To say goodbye

I know now I was naïve
Never knew where this would lead
And I'm not trying to take away
From the good man that he is

But how do I let go when I've
Loved him for so long and I've
Given him all that I could
Was it something wrong that we did
Because others infiltrated
What went wrong with something once so good

How do you find the words to say
To say goodbye
If your heart don't have the heart to say
To say goodbye

Is this the end
are you sure
How should you know when you've never been here before
It's so hard to just let go
When this is the one and only love I've ever known

So how do you find the words to say
When it's been so long
To say goodbye
If your heart don't have the heart to say
To say goodbye

Find the words to say goodbye, my love...

Why do I Feel so Bad?

Friends we've been for so long
Now true colors are showing
Makes me wanna cry, oh yes it does
Cause i have to say goodbye
By now, i should know
That in time things must change
So it shouldnt be so bad
So why do i feel so sad?

How can i adjust
To the way that things are going
It's killing me slowly
Oh, i just want it to be
How it used to be
Yeah cause i wish that i could stay
But in time things must change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do i feel so sad?

You cannot hide the way you feel inside, i realize
Your actions speak much louder than words
Apart, we have grown
So tell me why

By now i should know
That in time things must change
So, it shouldn't be so bad
So, why do i feel so sad?

By now I must grow
I must go
And I have to leave you behind

But why do I feel so sad
when I know it must change
Why do I feel so bad inside
when I know you must be let go...

So, it shouldn't be so bad
So, why do I feel so sad
Tell me...
by now, I should know that in time things must change
And I had to leave you behind

If it could, it wouldn't be that bad
Why do I feel so sad
Why can't I make up my mind
It'll be just fine...

Love it!

Refugee

Let me just say: Tom Petty f'in rocks!

We got some thin’ we both know it,
We don’t talk too much about it
Ain’t no real big secret, all the same,
Somehow we get around it

Listen, it don’t really matter to me
Baby, you believe what you wanna believe
You see, you don’t have to live like a refugee

Somewhere, somehow, somebody must have
Kicked you around some
Tell me why you wanna lay there,
Revel in your abandon

Honey, it don’t make no difference to me
Baby, everybody’s had to fight to be fre e
You see, you don’t have to live like a refugee
No baby, you don’t have to live like a refugee

Baby, we ain’t the first
I’m sure a lot of other lovers been burned
Right now this ain’t real to you
It’s one of those things you got to feel to be true

Somewhere, somehow, somebody must have
Kicked you around some
Who knows, maybe you were kidnapped,
Tied-up, taken away, and held for ransom

Honey, it don’t really matter to me
Baby, everybody’s ha d to fight to be free
You see, you don’t have to live like a refugee
No, you don’t have to live like a refugee
Baby, you don’t have to live like a refugee

More Tom Petty

'Cause you know he's cool! Come on admit it!


Yeah baby!


Tom Petty - Breakdown
It's alright if you love me
It's alright if you don't
I'm not afraid of you running away,Honey,
I get the feeling you wont
There is no sense in pretending
Your eyes give you away
Something inside you is feeling like I do
We've said all there is to say
Breakdown, go ahead and give it to me
Breakdown honey take me through the night
Breakdown now I'm standing here can't you see
Breakdown it's all right
It's all right
It's all right

Tom Petty - MARY JANE'S LAST DANCE

She grew up in an Indiana town
Had a good lookin' momma who never was around
But she grew up tall and she grew up right
With them Indiana boys on an Indiana night
Well she moved down here at the age of 18
She blew the boys away, it was more than they'd seen
I was introduced and we both started groovin'
She said, "I dig you baby but I got to keep movin'"...on, keep it movin' on
Last dance with Mary Jane
One more time to kill the pain
I feel summer creepin' in and I'm
Tired of this town again
Well I don't know what I've been told
You never slow down, you never grow old
I'm tired of screwing up, I'm tired of goin' down
I'm tired of myself, I'm tired of this town
Oh my my, oh hell yes
Honey put on that party dress
Buy me a drink, sing me a song,
Take me as I come 'cause I can't stay long
Last dance with Mary Jane
One more time to kill the pain
I feel summer creepin' in and I'm
Tired of this town again
There's pigeons down on Market Square
She's standin' in her underwear
Lookin' down from a hotel room
Nightfall will be comin' soon
Oh my my, oh hell yes
You've got to put on that party dress
It was too cold to cry when I woke up
I hit the last number, I walked to the road
Last dance with Mary Jane
One more time to kill the pain
I feel summer creepin' in and I'mTired of this town again


Tom Petty - I Won't Back Down

Well I won't back down, no I won't back down
You can stand me up at the gates of hell
But I won't back down
Gonna stand my ground, won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down
Gonna stand my ground and I won't back down
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
Hey I will stand my ground
And I won't back down.
Well I know what's right, I got just one life
In a world that keeps on pushin' me around
But I'll stand my ground and I won't back down
Hey baby there ain't no easy way out
Hey I will stand my ground
And I won't back down
No, I won't back down

Tom Petty - You Got Lucky Lyrics

You better watch what you say
You better watch what you do to me
Don't get carried away
Girl, if you can do better than me
Go...yeah, go
But remember
Good love is hard to find
Good love is hard to find
You got lucky, babeYou got lucky, babe
When I found you
You put a hand on my cheek
And then you turn your eyes away
If you don't feel complete
If I don't take you all of the way
Then go, yeah, go,
But remember
Good love is hard to find
Good love is hard to find
You got lucky, babe
You got lucky, babe
When I found you
Yeah go,
Just, go,
But remember
Good love is hard to find
Good love is hard to find
You got lucky, babe
You got lucky, babe
When I found you

Tom Petty - Into The Great Wide Open Lyrics

Eddie waited til' he finished high school
He went to Hollywood, got a tattoo
He met a girl out there with a tattoo too
The future was wide open
They moved into a place they both could afford
He found a night club he could work at the door
She had a guitar and she taught him some chords
The sky was the limit
Into the great wide open
Under them skies of blue
Out in the great wide open
A rebel without a clue
The papers said Ed always played from the heart
He got an agent and a roadie named Bart
They made a record and it went in the chart
The sky was the limit
His leather jacket had chains that would jingle
They both met movie stars, partied and mingled
Their A&R man said "I don't hear a single"
The future was wide open
Into the great wide open
Under them skies of blue
Out in the great wide open
A rebel without a clue

This is just for Celeste.....

You'll See

written by Madonna and David Foster
Track 4, Time: 4:16
-------------------------
You think that I can't live without your love
You'll see,
You think I can't go on another day.
You think I have nothing
Without you by my side,
You'll see
Somehow, some way

You think that I can never laugh again
You'll see,
You think that you destroyed my faith in love.
You think after all you've done
I'll never find my way back home,
You'll see
Somehow, someday

Chorus:

All by myself
I don't need anyone at all
I know I'll survive
I know I'll stay alive,
All on my own
I don't need anyone this time
It will be mine
No one can take it from me
You'll see

You think that you are strong, but you are weak
You'll see,
It takes more strength to cry, admit defeat.
I have truth on my side,
You only have deceit
You'll see, somehow, someday

Chorus2:

All by myself
I don't need anyone at all
I know I'll survive
I know I'll stay alive,
I'll stand on my own
I won't need anyone this time
It will be mine
No one can take it from me
You'll see

You'll see, you'll see
You'll see, mmmm, mmmm

Whew! With this song, the Hope thread and the PMs I woke up to, I'm crying again. Lol.... Wow! Thank you! You're awesome! It means a lot, really.

For those whose 25th high school reunion is this year

This was the song from one of the albums of 79-80. Having been exactly 17 at the time, I wore the vinyl out around this track. (Couldn't be it but I could see it.)

The Cars - Let's Go

She's driving away with the dim lights on
She's making a play and she can't go wrong
She never waits too long
She's winding them down on her clock machine
And she won't give up 'cause she's seventeen
She's a frozen fire
She's my one desire
CHORUS
And I don't want to hold her down
Don't want to break her crown
When she says, let's go
I like the nightlife baby
She says, let's go
She's laughing inside 'cause they can't refuse
She's so beautiful now, she doesn't wear her shoes
She doesn't like to choose
She's got wonderful eyes and a risque mouth
And when I ask her before, she said she's holding out
She's a frozen fire
She's my one desire
CHORUS

I listened to a Neal Diamond song today....but if you tell anyone, I'll deny it.

Thievery Corporation, feat. The Flaming Lips

Well let's start by
Making it clear
Who is the enemy

This is one of the best running songs, ever (along with 'Rebel Yell' and 'You've Got Another Thing Coming')...

I Need to Know

Well the talk on the street says you might go solo
Good friend of mine say you're leaving by your back door

I need to know (I need to know)
I need to know (I need to know)
If you think you're gonna leave then you'd better say so
I need to know (I need to know)
I need to know (I need to know)
Because I don't know how long
I can hold on
If you're making me wait
If you're leading me on
I need to know (I need to know)
I need to know (I need to know)

Who would've thought that you'd fall for his line?
All of a sudden it's me on the outside

I need to know (I need to know)
I need to know (I need to know)
If you think you're gonna leave then you'd better say so
I need to know (I need to know)
I need to know (I need to know)
Because I don't know how long
I can hold on
If you're making me wait
If you're leading me on
I need to know (I need to know)
I need to know (I need to know)

Love This Time by P. McCann

You can cut me down with just one word
Or say the sweetest thing I ever heard,
I know you have a power over me,
and I don't have it over you.

They say one lover loves the other more,
But I'm the lover you've been waiting for,
I know I couldn't hurt you half as much
And I wouldn't try to if I could.

(Chorus)
And I guess it's really love this time,
The feeling's growing day to day,
Yes I guess it's really love this time,
No one else can make me feel this way.

A drifter waiting for a bigger meal,
A gambler waiting for a better deal,
I only laugh at things I used to dream
'Cause I'm only half of what we feel.

And I guess it's really love this time,
The feeling's growing day to day,
Yes, I guess it's really love this time,
No one else can make me feel this way.

Each time I've done my share of crying,
You find a way to keep me trying,
There must be schools for fools like me.

(Repeat chorus)

♫bim bimm bem bem bim bim bem bem bom bom bom bomm Ba ba ba (x4)

Jackie Cane was everybody’s sugar

♫bim bimm bem bem bim bim bem bem bom bom bom bomm Ba ba ba

She gave it all wherever it took her

♫bim bimm bem bem bim bim bem bem bom bom bom bomm Ba ba ba

They used her up before the sell by date
To be so sweet was her only mistake
The only flower in a concrete garden
Destined to be
The rock that wouldn’t harden

Taken for granted, used and drained
They ran her dry and then it never rained
She was the queen of the 25th hour
They looked so sweet
But the aftertaste was sour

LOVE IN A TRASHCAN

If you touch that girl
You know it's okay
People say she's a whore anyway
I think she looks like a nice vamp
Looking for love in a trashcan

If you kiss that girl you won't be caught dead
She's the coolest girl you think you ever met
I think she fits right into my life
On the road till the end of time

Now the time is right and you feel the need
To go down low and receive a treat
The jukebox churns out songs about sex
Come on baby you're my best fix

Dizzy

Artist: Ours
Song: Dizzy
Album: Distorted Lullabies

We ran
We starved the things
That feel
Outback
The drunken waters steal from me

If we beat him down, will he stay?
He's a little dizzy
I feel it starting to take me
Where did everybody go?
I need them now
To save me

We fell, when they choked the things that feed
How come... we hurt the one's we need?
Lay down, and stretch upon the sea

If we beat him down, will he stay?
He's a little dizzy
I feel it starting to take me
Where did everybody go?
I need them now
If we beat him down... will he stay?


PS- This song is so hauntingly beautiful, especially when you hear it live. Actually there are several songs on this album that are really good & different.

Happy Memorial Day weekend all!

Do What You Have To Do
by Sarah McLachlan

What ravages of spirit
Conjured this tempestuous rage
Created you a monster
Broken by the rules of love
And fate has led you through it
You do what you have to do
And fate has led you through it
You do what you have to do ...
And I have the sense to recognize that
I don’t know how to let you go

Every moment marked
With apparitions of your soul
I’m ever swiftly moving
Trying to escape this desire
The yearning to be near you
I do what I have to do
The yearning to be near you
I do what I have to do
But I have the sense to recognize
That I don’t know how
To let you go
I don’t know how
To let you go

A glowing ember
Burning hot
Burning slow
Deep within I’m shaken by the violence
Of existing for only you
I know I can’t be with you
I do what I have to do
I know I can’t be with you
I do what I have to do
And I have sense to recognize but
I don’t know how to let you go
I don’t know how to let you go
I don’t know how to let you go
