Favorite song lyrics

[jellybelly]

thought i send a song by American idol who is staying decent and not sleazy like the majority femme singers are, and it's a bit uplifting...maybe we could post our fav songs/lyrics?

Kelly Clarkson- Miss Independent

(Verse 1)
Miss independent
Miss self-sufficient
Miss keep your distance, mmmm

Miss unafraid
Miss out of my way
Miss don't let a man interfere, no

Miss on her own
Miss almost grown
Miss never let a man help her off her throne

So, by keeping her heart protected
She'll never, ever feel rejected
Little miss apprehensive
Said ooh, she fell in love

(Chorus)
What is this feeling taking over?
Thinking no one could open the door
Surprise, it's time, to feel what's real
What happened to miss independent's no longer need to be defensive?
Goodbye, old you, when love, is true

(Verse 2)
Misguided heart
Miss play it smart
Miss if you wanna use that line, you better not start, no

But she miscalculated
She didn't wanna end up jaded
And this miss decided not to miss out on true love

So, by changing a misconception
She went in a new direction
And found inside, she felt a connection
She fell in love

(Bridge)
When miss independent walked away
No time for love that came her way
She looked in the mirror and thought today
What happened to miss no longer afraid?
It took some time for her to see
How beautiful love could truly be
No more talk of why can't that be me
I'm so glad I've finally seen

I love that song! It's addictive! I've woken up twice this past week singing that song in my head! Does anyone else do that? Maybe it's a sign I'm going crazy!

 

[shell]

Here's my favorite song (for this week anyway!

):
"When I'm Gone"

There's another world inside of me
That you may never see
There's secrets in this life
That I can't hide
Somewhere in this darkness
There's a light that I can't find
Maybe it's too far away...
Maybe I'm just blind...

Maybe I'm just blind...

[chorus]
So hold me when I'm here
Right me when I'm wrong
Hold me when I'm scared
And love me when I'm gone
Everything I am
And everything in me
Wants to be the one
You wanted me to be
I'll never let you down
Even if I could
I'd give up everything
If only for your good
So hold me when I'm here
Love me when I'm wrong
You can hold me when I'm scared
You won't always be there
So love me when I'm gone
[end chorus]

Love me when I'm gone...

When your education x-ray
Can not see under my skin
I won't tell you a damn thing
That I could not tell my friends
Roaming through this darkness
I'm alive but I'm alone
Part of me is fighting this
But part of me is gone

[chorus]

Maybe I'm just blind...

[chorus]

Love me when I'm gone...

Love me when I'm gone
When I'm Gone
When I'm Gone
When I'm Gone

 

[jellybelly]

yeah that song goes on my head, so I guessed I was a bit looney

my other favorite song which I feel is an anthem for women is
I'm A survivor by Destiny's Child

Destiny's Child = Survivor

Now that you're out of my life
I'm so much better
You thought that I'd be weak without you
But I'm stronger
You thought that I'd be broke without you
But I'm richer
You thought that I'd be sad without you
I laugh harder
You thought I wouldn't grow without you
Now I'm wiser
Though that I'd be helpless without you
But I'm smarter
You thought that I'd be stressed without you
But I'm chillin'
You thought I wouldn't sell without you
Sold 9 million

Chorus:
I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm not gon give up (What?)
I'm not gon stop (What?)
I'm gon work harder (What?)
I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm gonna make it (What?)
I will survive (What?)
Keep on survivin' (What?)

Thought I couldn't breathe without
I'm inhaling
You thought I couldn't see without you
Perfect vision
You thought I couldn't last without you
But I'm lastin'
You thought that I would die without you
But I'm livin'
Thought that I would fail without you
But I'm on top
Thought it would be over by now
But it won't stop
Thought that I would self destruct
But I'm still here
Even in my years to come
I'm still gon be here

I'm wishin' you the best
Pray that you are blessed
Bring much success, no stress, and lots of happiness
(I'm better than that)
I'm not gon blast you on the radio
(I'm better than that)
I'm not gon lie on you and your family
(I'm better than that)
I'm not gon hate on you in the magazines
('m better than that)
I'm not gon compromise my Christianity
(I'm better than that)
You know I'm not gon diss you on the internet
Cause my mama taught me better than that

After of all of the darkness and sadness
Soon comes happiness
If I surround my self with positive things
I'll gain prosperity

 

[shell]

Here's another one of my favorites. It's by Jessica Andrews and titled "There's More To Me Than You".


I've spent years
And all of this time
Thinkin I was better off
Cause you were mine
You always said it was your way or the highway

So im shiftin my life into drive
I'm getting out kissing the past goodbye
Like Toby said
"How do you like me now?"

This conversation has run dry
And I keep tellin myself
Oooh oooh oooh theres more to me than you
Oooh oooh dont underestimate what i can do
Well im alright
It's okay
I know I'll make it through
Cause there's more to me than you

I'm not sayin I'm batterd and bruised
But I might as well be with the words you use
I believe in myself
That makes me stronger
Things change and so have I
I'm gonna make hay while the sun still shines
you can clip my wings but I'm still gonna fly
I'm on my own
I'm on my way

And I keep tellin myself
Oooh oooh oooh theres more to me than you
Oooh oooh dont underestimate what i can do
Well im alright
It's okay
I know I'll make it through
Cause there's more to me than you

There's always somethin that meant more to you than me
And I'm just sorry it's taken this for you to see

Oooh oooh oooh theres more to me than you
Well I'm alright
It's okay
I know I'll make it through
Cause there's more to me than you

Oooh oooh oooh theres more to me than you
Oooh oooh oooh theres more to me than you

Cause there's more to me than you

FOREVER

(KISS)Written by: Paul Stanley & Michael Bolton

I gotta tell you what I'm feeling inside
I could lie to myself but it's true
There's no denying when I look in your eyes
Girl, I'm out of my head over you

I lived so long believeing all love is blind
But everything about you
Is telling me this time it's

CHORUS:
Forever, this time I know
And there's no doubt in my mind
Forever, until my life is through
Girl, I'll be loving you forever

I hear the echo of the promise I made
When you're strong you can stand on your own
But those words grow distant as I look at your face
No, I don't wanna go it alone

I never thought I'd lay my heart on the line
But everything about you
Is telling me this time it's

REPEAT CHORUS

I see my future when I look in your eyes
It took your love to make my heart come alive
Cause I lived my life believing all love is blind
But everything about you is telling me this time it's

REPEAT CHORUS

 

[dtolle]

Great topic!

**********************************
Because you Loved Me
For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through through it all

Chorus :
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you

[Chorus]

You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you
***************************************************
This song was written for me and my husband I think! Its exactly how I feel, and everytime I hear it I get goose bumps! I love it!

"Bizzare Love Triangle" by New Order

Every time I think of you
I feel shot right through with a bolt of blue.
It's no problem of mine
But it's a problem I find
Living a life that I can't leave behind.
There's no sense in telling me
The wisdom of a fool won't set you free.
But it's the that it goes
And it's what nobody knows
Well, every day my confusion grows.

(Chorus)
Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray.
I'm waiting for that final moment you
Say the words that I can't say.

I feel fine and I feel good.
I feel like I never should.
Whenever I get this way
I just don't know what to say.
Why can't we be ourselves like we were yesterday?
I'm not sure what this could mean.
I'm don't think you're what you seem.
I do admit to myself that if I hurt someone else
Then I'll never see just what we're meant to be.

(Chorus)
Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray.
I'm waiting for that final moment you
Say the words that I can't say.

 

[rock&fluff'smom]

Remember "The Black Crowes"? I still to this day love their song "She talks to angels...

She never mentions the word addiction
In certain company
Yes, she'll tell you she's an orphan
After you meet her family

She paints her eyes as black as night now
She pulls those shades down tight
She gives a smile when the pain comes
The pain gonna' make everything alright

Says she talks to angels
They call her out by her name
Oh yeah, she talks to angels
Says they call her out by her name

She keeps a lock of hair in her pocket
She wears a cross around her neck
Yes the hair is from a little boy
And the cross from someone she has not met
Not yet

(Repeat Chorus)

She don't know no lovers
None that I've ever seen
And to her that means nothing
But to me it means, means everything

(Repeat second verse)
(Repeat Chorus)

 

[rock&fluff'smom]

I also love "I can't make you love me" by Bonnie Raitt

Turn down the lights, turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me, tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don't patronize - don't patronize me

CHORUS: Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these lonely hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't


I'll close my eyes, then I won't see
The love you don't feel when you're holding me
Morning will come and I'll do what's right
Just give me till then to give up this fight
And I will give up this fight
CHORUS: Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these lonely hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't

Great songs! Tybalt, I don't think I've ever heard that one though!

Here's another favorite of mine:
Picture by Kid Rock & Sheryl Crow

Kid Rock:

Livin my life in a slow hell
Different girl every night at the hotel
I ain't seen the sunshine
In three damn days
Been fuelin'up on cocaine and whiskey
Wish I had a good girl to miss me
Lord I wonder if I'll ever change my ways
I put your picture away
Sat down and cried today
I can't look at you while I'm lying next to her
I put your picture away
Sat down and cried today
I can't look at you while I'm lying next to her

Sheryl Crow:

I called you last night in the hotel
Everyone knows but they won't tell
But their half-hearted smiles tell me somethin' just ain't right
I've been waitin' on you for a long time
Fuelin' up on heartaches and cheap wine
I ain't heard from you in three damn nights
I put your picture away
I wonder where you been
I can't look at you while I'm lyin' next to him
I put your picture away
I wonder where you been
I can't look at you while I'm lyin' next to him

Together:

I saw you yesterday with an old friend (Sheryl Crow)
It was the same old same how've you been? (Kid Rock)
Since you've been gone my worlds been dark and grey (Together)
You reminded me of brighter days (Kid Rock)
I hoped you were comin' home to stay (Sheryl Crow)
I was headed to church (Sheryl Crow)
I was off to drink you away (Kid Rock)

Together:

I thought about you for a long time
Can't seem to get you off my mind
I can't understand why we're living life this way
I found your picture today
I swear I'll change my ways
I just called to say I want you to come back home
I found your picture today
I swear I'll change my ways
I just called to say I want you to come back home
I just called to say I love you, come back home

I love that song. Such a shame that they broke up.

 

[rock&fluff'smom]

another one of my favorites is by Martina McBride.. Anything and Everything


What do you dream about?
Look at the stars, honey
All you gotta do is pick one out
And it's there for you
I'll be the one who makes
Your every dream come true

Chorus:
Close your eyes and baby
Make a wish and baby
I'll give you anything and everything
The sky's the limit and my heart is in it
I'll give you anything and everything
Anything and everything

Where do you want to go?
Look at the world, baby
All you gotta do is just say so
And I'll take you there
Oh yeah, you know that
Love can take you anywhere

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
I could spoil you
Make it easy
Make you happy if you let me
Won't you let me

I'll be the one who makes your every dream come true

Yeah, I have their greatest hits album, their most recent album "Lions", and I found a cassette of "Shake Your Moneymaker" for 25 cents at a garage sale. They're all really good albums... I would definitely recommend them.

I particularly like "Soul Singing", "Twice As Hard", and "Sister Luck", as well as "She Talks to Angels". Oh, and "Bad Luck Blue Eyes Goodbye" is on the top of the list. I love that song.


Bad Luck Blue Eyes Goodbye


With my winter time
My idols and stage fright
In another night
Where the lights are loud and bright

One dream from waking up saved
Too shy to hold in the rage

I know no luxury
Of knowing what your eyes read
I know one million ways
To always pick the wrong thing to say

A love that you never gave
Always a time zone away
It's not out of spite
I know what's right

Bad Luck Blue Eyes Goodbye

Sometimes a memory
Only sees what it wants to believe
And what's filled in between
Are days and nights that don't mean a thing

Such a simple suicide
A second chance never tried
And you don't understand
I need a helping hand

So you think that you've seen it all
Is that a fact?
So out your mouth a dictionary
Spouts about this and that
You got your do's, your don'ts
Because and why
I don't trust no one who don't
Take their own advice

Bad Luck Blue Eyes Goodbye

I really like the song that Daniella had the lyrics too, whenever I hear that song, I cry it reminds me of my Gronny(Don't ask why I called her that LOL)

and Eminems music may be a bit depressing but I love the lyrics to them.. Example:

Ok, if you had one shot, one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted…one moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip?

His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
Thereâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s vomit on his sweater already, momâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s spaghetti
Heâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgettin
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words wonâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t come out
Heâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s chokin, how everybodyâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s jokin now
The clockâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s run out, timeâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s up over, bloah!
Snap back to reality, oh there goes gravity
Oh, there goes rabbit, he choked
Heâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s so mad, but he wonâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t give up that
Is he? no
He wonâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t have it , he knows his whole back cityâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s ropes
It donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t matter, heâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s dope
He knows that, but heâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s broke
Heâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s so stacked that he knows
When he goes back to his mobile home, thatâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s when itâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s
Back to the lab again yo
This whole rap shi*
He better go capture this moment and hope it donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t pass him

Hook:

You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo

The soulâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s escaping, through this hole that itâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s gaping
This world is mine for the taking
Make me king, as we move toward a, new world order
A normal life is borin, but superstardomâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s close to post mortar
It only grows harder, only grows hotter
He blows us all over these hoes is all on him
Coast to coast shows, heâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s know as the globetrotter
Lonely roads, God only knows
Heâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s grown farther from home, heâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s no father
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
But hold your nose cuz here goes the cold water
His bosses donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t want him no mo, heâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s cold product
They moved on to the next schmoe who flows
He nose dove and sold nada
So the soap opera is told and unfolds
I suppose itâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s old potna, but the beat goes on
Da da dum da dum da da

Hook

No more games, iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]ma change what you call rage
Tear this mothafu*kin roof off like 2 dogs caged
I was playin in the beginnin, the mood all changed
I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
But I kept rhymin and stepwritin the next cypher
Best believe somebodyâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s payin the pied piper
All the pain inside amplified by the fact
That I canâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t get by with my 9 to 5
And I canâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t provide the right type of life for my family
Cuz man, these goddam food stamps donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t buy diapers
And itâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s no movie, thereâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s no mekhi phifer, this is my life
And these times are so hard and itâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s getting even harder
Tryin to feed and water my seed, plus
See dishonor caught up bein a father and a prima donna
Baby mama dramaâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s screamin on and
Too much for me to wanna
Stay in one spot, another jam or not
Has gotten me to the point, Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]m like a snail
Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]ve got to formulate a plot fore I end up in jail or shot
Success is my only mothafu*kin option, failureâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s not
Mom, I love you, but this trail has got to go
I cannot grow old in salemâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s lot
So here I go is my shot.
Feet fail me not cuz maybe the only opportunity that I got

Hook

You can do anything you set your mind to, man


I really love his music and I listen to it everyday some of his lyrics are so real

 

[wellingtoncats]

Also another Soul Surviver for me , is Jenifer Lopez!!!!

Example:

CALLED YOU ON THE PHONE
SAID I'M COMING THROUGH
HOPE YOU'RE ALL ALONE
'CAUSE I GOT PLANS FOR YOU
WE COULD STAY AT HOME OR DANCE AND HAND ALL NIGHT
AS LONG AS I'M WITH YOU
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT WE DO
DON'T ASK ME WHERE I'VE BEEN
OR WHAT I'M GONNA DO
JUST KNOW THAT I'M HERE WITH YOU
DON'T TRY TO UNDERSTAND
BABY, THERE'S NO MYSTERY
CAUSE YOU KNOW HOW I AM

I'M REAL, WHAT YOU GET IS WHAT YOU SEE
WHAT YOU TRYING TO DO TO ME
YOU WANT TO SAY YOUR MINE
BE WITH ME ALL THE TIME
YOU'RE FALLING SO IN LOVE
SAY YOU JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH
YOU'RE TELLING ALL YOUR FRIENDS

YOU LIKE THE WAY I DRESS
THE WAY I WEAR MY HAIR
SHOW ME OFF TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS
BABY, I DON'T CARE
JUST AS LONG AS YOU TELL THEM WHO I AM
TELL THEM I'M THE ONE THAT MADE YOU GIVE A DAMN
DON'T ASK WHERE I'VE BEEN
OR WHAT I'M GONNA DO
JUST KNOW THAT I'M HERE WITH YOU
DON'T TRY TO UNDERSTAND
BABY, THERE'S NO MYSTERY
CAUSE YOU KNOW HOW I AM

I'M REAL, WHAT YOU GET IS WHAT YOU SEE
WHAT YOU TRYING TO DO TO ME
YOU WANT TO SAY YOUR MINE
BE WITH ME ALL THE TIME
YOU'RE FALLING SO IN LOVE
SAY YOU JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH
YOU'RE TELLING ALL YOUR FRIENDS






I love this song!

You Can't Always Get What You Want
The Rolling Stones
M. Jagger/K. Richards

I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she was gonna meet her connection
At her feet was a footloose man

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You'll get what you need

I went down to the demonstration
To get my fair share of abuse
Singing "we're gonna vent our frustrations
And if we don't we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse"

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you might find
You'll get what you need

I went down to the Chelsea drugstore
To get your prescription filled
I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy
And man, did he look pretty ill
We decided that we would have a soda
My favorite flavor, cherry red
I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy
And he said one word to me, and that was "dead,"
I said to him

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You'll get what you need

You'll get what you need--yeah, oh baby

I saw her today at the reception
In her glass was a bleeding man
She was practiced at the art of deception
Well I could tell by her bloodstained hands

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You'll get what you need

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You'll get what you need

 

[bren.1]

U2 is my favorite band, this is one of my favorite songs from their most recent CD. It's called Walk On and I think it was dedicated to Aung San Suu Kyi of Burma who has been under house arrest since 1989. I think she is the leader of the opposition party there.


And love
Is not the easy thing
The only baggage
That you can bring
Not the easy thing
The only baggage you can bring
Is all that you can't leave behind

And if the darkness is to keep us apart
And if the daylight feels like it's a long way off
And if your glass heart should crack
And for a second you turn back
Oh no, be strong

Walk on
Walk on
What you got, they can't steal it
No they can't even feel it

Walk on
Walk on
Stay safe tonight

You're packing a suitcase for a place
None of us has been
A place that has to be believed
To be seen

You could have flown away
A singing bird
In an open cage
Who will only fly
Only fly for freedom

Walk on
Walk on
What you got
You can't deny it
Can't sell it or buy it

Walk on
Walk on
You stay safe tonight

And I know it aches
How your heart it breaks
You can only take so much

Walk on
Walk on

Home
Hard to know what it is
If you never had one

Home
I can't say where it is
But I know I'm going

Home
That's where the hurt is

And I know it aches
And your heart it breaks
You can only take so much
Walk on

Leave it behind
You've got to leave it behind

All that you fashion
All that you make
All that you build
All that you break

All that you measure
All that you feel
All this you can leave behind

All that you reason
All that you care

It's only time
And I'll never fill up all I find

All that you sense
All that you scheme
All you dress up
And all that you see

All you create
All that you wreck
All that you hate

 

[bren.1]

My favorite U2 song is Bad:

If you twist and turn away
If you tear yourself in two again
If I could, yes I would
If I could, I would
Let it go
Surrender
Dislocate

If I could throw this
Lifeless lifeline to the wind
Leave this heart of clay
See you walk, walk away
Into the night
And through the rain
Into the half-light
And through the flame

If I could through myself
Set your spirit free
I'd lead your heart away
See you break, break away
Into the light
And to the day

To let it go
And so to fade away
To let it go
And so fade away

I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
Wide awake
I'm not sleeping
Oh, no, no, no

If you should ask then maybe they'd
Tell you what I would say
True colors fly in blue and black
Bruised silken sky and burning flag
Colors crash, collide in blood shot eyes

If I could, you know I would
If I could, I would
Let it go...

This desperation
Dislocation
Separation
Condemnation
Revelation
In temptation
Isolation
Desolation
Let it go

And so fade away
To let it go
And so fade away
To let it go
And so to fade away

I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
Wide awake
I'm not sleeping
Oh, no, no, no
