Underneath Your Clothes ~ Shakira

this song is for Luna...the most important parts are in bold font...also...just substitute girl for man lol...

You're a song
Written by the hands of God
Don't get me wrong cause
This might sound to you a bit odd
But you own the place
Where all my thoughts go hiding
And right under your clothes
Is where I find them


Underneath Your Clothes
There's an endless story
There's the man I chose
There's my territory
And all the things I deserve
For being such a good girl honey

Because of you
I forgot the smart ways to lie
Because of you
I'm running out of reasons to cry
When the friends are gone
When the party's over
We will still belong to each other


Underneath Your Clothes
There's an endless story
There's the man I chose
There's my territory
And all the things I deserve
For being such a good girl honey

I love you more than all that's on the planet
Movin' talkin' walkin' breathing
You know it's true
Oh baby it's so funny
You almost don't believe it
As every voice is hanging from the silence
Lamps are hanging from the ceiling
Like a lady tied to her manners
I'm tied up to this feeling

Underneath Your Clothes
There's an endless story
There's the man I chose
There's my territory
And all the things I deserve
For being such a good girl honey
 
Life's Been Good Joe Walsh

I have a mansion forget the price

Ain't never been there they tell me it's nice

I live in hotels tear out the walls

I have accountants pay for it all



They say I'm crazy but I have a good time

I'm just looking for clues at the scene of the crime

Life's been good to me so far



My Maserati does 185

I lost my license now I don't drive

I have a limo ride in the back

I lock the doors in case I'm attacked



I'm making records my fans they can't wait

They write me letters tell me I'm great

So I got me an office gold records on the wall

Just leave a message maybe I'll call



Lucky I'm sane after all I've been through

Everybody says I'm cool (He's cool)

I can't complain but sometimes I still do

Life's been good to me so far



I go to parties sometimes until four

It's hard to leave when you can't find the door

It's tough to handle this fortune and fame

Everybody's so different I haven't changed



They say I'm lazy but it takes all my time

Everybody says Oh yeah (Oh yeah)

I keep on going guess I'll never know why

Life's been good to me so far
 
For Trinique: I love you

~My ALL~ Mariah Carey

I am thinking of you
In my sleepless solitude tonight
If it’s wrong to love you
Then my heart just won’t let me right
Cause I’ve drowned in you
And I won’t pull through
Without you by my side

I’d give my all to have
Just one more night with you
I’d risk my life to feel
Your body next to mine
Cause I can’t go on
Living in the memory of our song
I’d give my all for your love tonight

Baby can you feel me
Imagining I’m looking in your eyes
I can see you clearly
Vividly emblazoned in my mind
And yet you’re so far
Like a distant star
I’m wishing on tonight

I’d give my all to have
Just one more night with you
I’d risk my life to feel
Your body next to mine
Cause I can’t go on
Living in the memory of our song
I’d give my all for your love tonight

I’d give my all to have
Just one more night with you
I’d risk my life to feel
Your body next to mine
Cause I can’t go on
Living in the memory of our song
I’d give my all for your love tonight
Give my all for your love
Tonight


(thank you baby grrl for the trust and love you give me, everyday)
 
Luna....I love you....

Where Do We Go From Here ~ Vanessa Williams

Life can be strange, somethings we forget
or rearrange in time, lose the past
Tell me the truth, tell me how can I know
that this new love of ours, that its gonna last

I need your strength and I feel your worth
with you I feel protected from all harm

Where do we go from here it's clear
You erase the fear in me, that keeps me alone
Where do we go from here I know
No matter what the road, your love will lead me home

What's in a name, his life just a game
we color then erase (we've been erased), when we lose face
How many lives, tell me how many tries
before we get it right (before we get it right), the truth is inside

I need your strength and I feel your worth
with you I feel protected from all harm

Where do we go from here it's clear
You erase the fear in me, that keeps me alone
Where do we go from here I know
No matter what the road, your love will lead me home

When I never weak, so weak
to scared to speak
When I never low, so low
to tell me, you will never need

Where do we go from here it's clear
You erase the fear in me, that keeps me alone
Where do we go from here I know
No matter what the road, your love will lead me home

No matter what the road, your love will lead me home
 
Strawberry Fields The Beatles

Let me take you down, 'cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real, and nothing to get hungabout
Strawberry Fields forever

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see
It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out, it doesn't matter much to me
Let me take you down, 'cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real, and nothing to get hungabout
Strawberry Fields forever

No one I think is in my tree, I mean it must be high or low
That is you can't you know tune in but it's all right, that is I think it's not too bad

Let me take you down, 'cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real, and nothing to get hungabout
Strawberry Fields forever

Always, no sometimes, think it's me, but you know I know when it's a dream
I think I know I mean a "Yes" but it's all wrong, that is I think I disagree

Let me take you down, 'cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real, and nothing to get hungabout
Strawberry Fields forever
Strawberry Fields forever
Strawberry Fields forever
 
If I Laugh -- Cat Stevens

If I laugh just a little bit
Maybe I can forget the chance
That I didn’t have to know you
And live in peace, in peace

If I laugh just a little bit
Maybe I can forget the plans that
I didn’t use to get you
At home -- with me -- alone

If I laugh just a little bit
Maybe I can recall the way
That I used to be, before you
And sleep at night -- and dream
If I laugh, baby if I laugh
Just a little bit --
 
Trouble - Cat Stevens

Trouble
Oh trouble set me free
I have seen your face
And it's too much too much for me

Trouble
Oh trouble can't you see
You're eating my heart away
And there's nothing much left of me

I've drunk your wine
You have made your world mine
So won't you be fair
So won't you be fair

I don't want no more of you
So won't you be kind to me
Just let me go where
I'll have to go there

Trouble
Oh trouble move away
I have seen your face
and it's too much for me today

Trouble
Oh trouble can't you see
You have made me a wreck
Now won't you leave me in my misery

I've seen your eyes
and I can see death's disguise
Hangin' on me
Hangin' on me

I'm beat, I'm torn
Shattered and tossed and worn
Too shocking to see
So won't you be fair

I don't want no more of you
So won't you be kind to me
Just let me go where
I'll have to go there

Trouble
Oh trouble move away
I have seen your face
and it's too much for me today

Trouble
Oh trouble can't you see
You have made me a wreck
Now won't you leave me in my misery

I've seen your eyes
and I can see death's disguise
Hangin' on me
Hangin' on me

I'm beat, I'm torn
Shattered and tossed and worn
Too shocking to see
Too shocking to see

Trouble
Oh trouble move from me
I have paid my debt
Now won't you leave me in my misery

Trouble
Oh trouble please be kind
I don't want no fight
And I haven't got a lot of time
 
I like your pants around your feet
I like the dirt that's on your knees
And I like the way you still say please
While you're looking up at me
You're like my favourite damn disease

And I love the places that we go
And I love the people that you know
And I love the way you can't say no
Too many long lines in a row
I love the powder on your nose

Ooooh
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out

I like the freckles on your chest
And I like the way you like me best
And I like the way you're not impressed,
While you put me to the test
I like the wine stains on your dress

And I love the way you pass the check
And I love the good times that you wreck
And I love your lack of self respect

While you're passed out on the deck
I love my hands around your neck

And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out

I love your pants around your feet
And I love the dirt that's on your knees
And I like the way you still say please
While you're looking up at me
You're like my favourite damn disease

And I hate the places that we go
And I hate the people that you know
And I hate the way you can't say no
Too many long lines in a row
I hate the powder on your nose

And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out
 
Closing time - time for you to go out, go out into the world.
Closing time - turn the lights up over every boy and every girl.
Closing time - one last call for alcohol, so finish your whiskey or beer.
Closing time - you don't have to go home but you can't stay here.
I know who I want to take me home.
I know who I want to take me home.
I know who I want to take me home.
Take me home...

Closing time - time for you to go back to the places you will be from.
Closing time - this room won't be open 'til your brothers or you sisters come.
So gather up your jackets, and move it to the exits - I hope you have found a friend.
Closing time - every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.

Yeah, I know who I want to take me home.
I know who I want to take me home.
I know who I want to take me home.
Take me home...

Closing time - time for you to go back to the places you will be from...

I know who I want to take me home.
I know who I want to take me home.
I know who I want to take me home.
Take me home...

Closing time - every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end...
 
For Luna...with all my love

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Well, every moment spent with you
Is a moment I treasure
I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
Lying close to you
Feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes and thank God we're together
And I just wanna stay with you
In this moment forever, forever and ever
I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
I don't wanna miss one smile
I don't wanna miss one kiss
Well, I just wanna be with you
Right here with you, just like this
I just wanna hold you close
Feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time
Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
'Cause I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna fall asleep, yeah
I don't wanna miss a thing
I don't wanna miss a thing

:heart: :rose:
 
Finally found these lyrics. Been looking for them all week. Just really want to share...

Breathe (2 AM) - Anna Nalick

2 AM and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake,
can you help me unravel my latest mistake,
I don't love him, winter just wasn't my season
Yeah we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes
Like they have any right at all to critisize,
hypocrites, you're all here for the very same reason

'Cause you can't jump the track,we're like cars on a cable
and life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button girl,
So cradle your head in you hands
And breathe, just breathe,
Woah breathe, just breathe

May he turn 21 on the base at Fort Bliss
Just today he sat down to the flask in his fist,
Ain't been sober, since maybe October of last year.
Here in town you can tell he's been down for a while,
But my God it's so beautiful when the boy smiles,
Wanna hold him, maybe I'll just sing about it.

Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table.
No one can find the rewind button boys,
So cradle your head in your hands,
And breathe, just breathe,
Woah breathe, just breahte

There's a light at each end of this tunnel, you shout
But you're just as far in as you'll ever be out
These mistakes you've made, you'll just make them again
If you only try turning around.

2 AM and I'm still awake, writing a song
If I get it all down on paper, its no longer
inside of me, threatening the life they belong to
And i feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd
Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud
And I know that you'll use them, however you want to

Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button now
Sing it if you understand.
and breathe, just breathe
woah breathe, just breathe,
oh breathe, just breathe.
 
Kiss of Life ~ Sade

for Luna, with love

there must have been an angel by my side
something heavenly led me to you
look at the sky
it's the colour of love
there must have been an angel by my side
something heavenly came down from above
he led me to you
he led me to you

he built a bridge to your heart
all the way
how many tons of love inside
i can't say

when i was led to you
i knew you were the one for me
i swear the whole world could feel my heartbeat
when i lay eyes on you
ay ay ay
you wrapped me up in
the colour of love

you gave me the kiss of life
kiss of life
you gave me the kiss that's like
the kiss of life

wasn't it clear from the start
look the sky is full of love
yeah the sky is full of love

he built a bridge to your heart
all the way
how many tons of love inside
i can't say

you gave me the kiss of life
kiss of life
you gave me the kiss that's like
the kiss of life

you gave me the kiss of life
kiss of life
you gave me the kiss that's like
the kiss of life

you gave me the kiss of life
kiss of life
you gave me the kiss that's like
the kiss of life

you wrapped me up in the colour of love
must have been an angel came down from above
giving me love yeah
giving me love yeah

you gave me the kiss of life
kiss of life
you gave me the kiss of life
kiss of life
 
Anytime - Kelly Clarkson

I hate pop music...but the lyrics fit so perfectly...
For Luna...to remind you... :heart:

Anytime you feel
Like you just can't hold on
Just hold on to my love
And I'll help you be strong
But you're so afraid to lose
And, baby, I can't reach your heart
I can't face this wall
That's keeping us apart

When I could be the one to show you
Ev'rything you've missed before
Just hold on now, 'cause I could be
The one to give you more
Let you know

(Chorus)
Anytime you need love, baby
I'm on your side
Just let me be the one
I can make it all right, I can make it all right
Anytime you need love, baby
You're in my heart
I can make it all right

When I look into your eyes
And I feel it coming through
I can't help but want you
More than I want to
So, baby, take all of your fears
(So, baby, take all of your fears)
And cast them all on me
'Cause all I ever wanted
Was just to make you see

That I could be the one to give you
All that you've been searching for
Just hold on to my love
And, baby, let me give you more
You know

(Repeat chorus)

(Bridge)
Now there's no way out
And I can't help the way I feel
'Cause, baby, you're the fire
And I'll be waiting right here
You'll know my love is real
Baby, yeah, yeah, yeah
 
Meshell Ndegeocello ~ Beautiful

Such pretty hair
may I kiss you
may I kiss you there
So beautiful you are
So beautiful

Please, don't move
You feel so good to me
Tell me in my ear
Beautiful
Beautiful
So very beautiful

So beautiful
Beautiful
So beautiful

for Luna :heart:
 
Working Class Hero by : John Lennon

As soon as you're born they make you feel small,
By giving you no time instead of it all,
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all.

A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.

They hurt you at home and they hit you at school,
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool,
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules.

A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.

When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years,
Then they expect you to pick a career,
When you can't really function you're so full of fear.

A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.

Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV,
And you think you're so clever and classless and free,
But you're still fucking peasents as far as I can see.

A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.

There's room at the top they are telling you still,
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill,
If you want to be like the folks on the hill.

A working class hero is something to be.
A working class hero is something to be.

If you want to be a hero well just follow me,
If you want to be a hero well just follow me.
 
Resurrection by Moist

ive been drowned out by the rain
Still im wishing i could stay
But i'm sorry my old friend
I've got to leave you once again
And despite what i might say
I measure pleasure by the pain
Measure pleasure by the twisting
Of the metal in the vein
And it might be very hard
Can't be more than what we are
Can't be more 'til its over

Here comes the resurrection
Everybodys got to die from something
Nothing ever left to leave you when you go
I saw you strip my babies
Animal the way you cut them might be
Animal the way i cut you from below

So you goad me into spite
It's the cruelty that you'd like
It's the waiting for the one thing
That you never could define
Fill the longing just because
Emasculate the ones you love
Have to wait 'til its over

We are the less than mighty
Never was a way i thought it could be
Never quite enough to leave you when you go
I saw you strip my babies
Animal the way you cut them might be
Animal the way i cut you from below

I've been drowned out by the rain
Still i'm wishing i could stay
But i'm sorry my old friend
I'll have to leave you once again
And despite what i might say
I measure pleasure by the pain
Measure pleasure by the twisting
Of the metal in the vein
And it might be very hard
Can't be more than what we are
Can't be more 'til it's over

Here comes the resurrection
Everybody wants to die for something
Never thought i'd live to leave you when you go
I saw you strip my babies
Animal the way you cut them might be
Animal the way we caught you from below

And if anger is the ending
Of the thing that we've become
For the mother and the father
And the sister and the son
Through the shallow without wanting
Realization to mistake
Through the ugliness
The open
All the things we can't replace
I will control
I will control
I will control
I will control
I will control
I will control
I will control
 
Furnace Room Lullaby - Neko Case

all night, all i hear, all i hear's your heart
how come, how come

i twisted you over and under to take you
the coals went so wild as they swallowed the rest
i twisted you under and under to break you
i just couldn't breathe with your throne on my chest

all night, all i hear, all i hear's your heart
how come, how come

so far under the bed
into the beams you've gone
i've gone, you've gone

i'm wrapped in the depths of these deeds that have made me
i can't bring a sound from my head though i try
i can't seem to find my way up from the basement
a demon holds my place on earth 'till i die

all night, all i hear, all i hear's your heart
how come, how come

so far under the bed
into the beams you've gone
i've gone, you've gone

all night, all i hear, all i hear's your heart
 
Clean Sheets-Descendants

for CP, lurker. :rolleyes:


Clean sheets mean a lot to a guy who sleeps on the floor
I wanted your love, and a shelf in your dresser drawer
you tucked me in, stopped my tossing and turning
But I turned back the covers and saw those sheets are dirty

Even thought you'll never come clean
you know it's true
Those sheets are dirty
And so are you

The warmth of a bed to a guy who sleeps on the floor
Was enough to perpetuate all the lies I heard before
I want to hold you, I'll hold my pillow instead
Cause my pillow will never lie or be with a stranger in my bed

Where's the love I was looking for
It's out the door
I'm afraid to see you anymore
so it's back on the floor
Cause those sheets are dirty

Woke up this morning alone on the floor
Thinking about those clean sheets and the way it was before
When I looked in the mirror, I saw your face and thought of the past
But now I know how dirty you are, I took my fist and smashed the glass

Those sheets are dirty
Those sheets are dirty
Those sheets are dirty

Freak scene

Seen enough to eye you
But I’ve seen to much to try you
It’s always weirdness while you
Dig it much too much to fry you
The weirdness flows between us
Anyone can tell to see us
Freak scene just can’t believe us
Why can’t it just be cool and free us?

Seen enough to eye you
But I’ve seen to much to try you
It’s always weirdness while you
Dig it much too much to fry you
The weirdness flows between us
Anyone can tell to see us
Freak scene just can’t believe us
Why can’t it just be cool and leave us?

It’s so fucked I can’t believe it
If there’s a way I wish we’d see it
How could it work just can’t conceive it
Oh what a mess it’s just to leave it

Sometimes I don’t thrill you
Sometimes I think I’ll kill you
Just don’t let me fuck up will you
’cause when I need a friend it’s still you

What a mess.

:heart:

where I am today:

Circle- by Edie Brickell

Me, I'm a part of your circle of friends
and we notice you don't come around
me, I think it all depends
on you touching ground with us
but I quit- I give up
nothing's good enough for anybody else
it seems
and being alone is the best way to be
when I'm by myself it's the best way to be
when I'm all alone it's the best way to be
when I'm by myself nobody else can say goodbye

Everything is temporary anyway
when the streets are wet- the color slips into
the sky but I don't know why that means you
and I are that means you and
I quit- I give up
nothing's good enough for anybody else
it seems
and being alone is the best way to be
when I'm by myself it's the best way to be
when I'm all alone it's the best way to be
when I'm by myself nobody else can say

Me, I'm a part of your circle of friends
and we notice you don't come around

SJ
 
Todd Snider is so cool

I think I'm an All Right Guy

You know just the other morning
I was hanging around in my house
I had that new book with pictures of Madonna naked
I was checkin' it out
Just then a friend of mine came through the door
Said she never pegged me for a scumbag before
She said she didn't ever want to see me any more
And I still don't know why
Chorus:
I think I'm am alright guy, I think I'm am alright guy
I just want to live until I've gotta die
I know I ain't perfect, but God knows I try
I think I'm an alright guy, I think I'm alright
Now maybe I'm dirty
And maybe I smoke a little dope
It ain't like I'm going on TV
And tearing up pictures of the Pope
I know I get wild and I know I get drunk
Well, it ain't like I got a bunch of bodies in my trunk
My old man used to call me a no good punk
And I still don't know why
(Chorus)
You know, just the other night
These cops pulled me over outside a bar
They turned on their lights
And they ordered me out of my car
Man, I was only kidding when I called them a couple of dicks
But still they made me do the stupid human tricks
Now I'm stuck in this jail with a bunch of dumb hicks
And I still don't know why
(Chorus)
 
All By Myself
~Green Day

I was alone
I was all by myself
No one was looking
I was thinking of you
Oh yeah, did I mention
I was all by myself
All by myself...

I went to your house,
but no one was there
I went in your room
I was all by myself
You and me had
Such wonderful times
When I'm all by myself,
All by myself
 
Be Somebody

The shades gone up
Mothers staring down
She don't know where he's been
Or how long he's been out

She said 'Boy i'm tired of waiting up while your out with your friends'
He said 'Mom im tired and im living my life the best way that I can'

Cause i'm trying to be somebody
I'm not trying to be somebody else
This life is mine i'm living
Don't you know me? I wont ever let you down

The day has come
The sun is moving on
She don't know where he'll go
Or when he's coming home

She said 'Son take care, don't let your dreams get too far out of sight'
He said 'I love you now, don't worry about me you know i'll be fine'

Cause i'm trying to be somebody
I'm not trying to be somebody else

This life is mine i'm living
Don't you know me? I wont ever let you down
No
I'm not trying to be somebody else
Don't you know me? I wont ever let you
I wont ever let you

What they say
What they know
What they think wont ever bring me down
This life is mine and I am my own

I'm trying to be somebody
I'm not trying to be somebody else
This life is mine I lead
Don't you know me?

I'm trying to be somebody
I'm not trying to be somebody else
This life is mine i'm living
Don't you know me? I wont ever let you down
Yeahhh
I'm not trying to be somebody else
Don't you know me? I wont ever let you down
I wont be nobody else
This life is mine and i am my own
 
Gee Angel

Got a set of wings that I couldn't use
Bout them in a store on the avenue
Didn't mean to spend all the cash I had
The second that I saw them, I wanted them bad

When I got home and I tried them on
I noticed that the wingspan was way too long
Couldn't take them back, there was no return
I should have gotten more, I was feeling burned



Gee angel, won't you take these back?
Gee angel, gee angel, I need some slack
There's nothing in this world that I'd rather do
Than buy a wet of wings and fly away with you

Climbed up the mountain, observed the view
But angel wouldn't say what I had to do
Then angel flew away and left me standing there
I knew I couldn't fly, but I didn't care
