Best single line lyric in a song?

[Lorilei]

Ain't no other, ain't, ain't no other! (other)
Ain't no other, ain't, ain't no other LOVER!
Ain't no other, I, I, I need no other!
Ain't no other man but you!

Ha! I was dancing around to that this morning while I was doing my floors.

Now I've been close a time or two.
I thought I saw my dreams comin' true.
But I was just livin' in a fairy tale.
I won't play the fool again.
I won't play a game that I can't win.

 

[Bacigalupo]

Progressive black congressman
But we also got Michele Bachmann
Why you think I’m in a cell, my man?

 

[Bad_Doggie]

Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova in the sky

Woof!

 

[Not Normal]

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

Love is like a bomb, baby, c'mon get it on

 

[neci]

little bunny fufu
went hopping through the forest
scooping up the field mice
and bashing them on the head

 

[Peregrinator]

I got blood on my hands and there's no remorse.
I got blood on my dick cause I fucked the corpse.

 

[TwoShades]

On behalf of every man
Looking out for every girl
You are the god and the weight of her world

 

[Super-Surprise]

I picked up my bag, I went lookin' for a place to hide
When I saw Carmen and the Devil walkin' side by side
I said, "Hey, Carmen, come on let's go downtown"
She said, "I gotta go but my friend can stick around"

 

[Super-Surprise]

Too much wine and too much song, wonder how I got along.

 

[patient1]

"There's a light in your eyes that keeps shining.
Like a star that can't wait for the night"

A personal favorite.

A deeply spiritual and profoundly philosophical statement about the universe and our purpose in it. If it doesn't make you tear up, nothing will. The full song is here.

I guess I heard about original sin, I heard the dude blamed the chick, I heard the chick blamed the snake. I heard they were naked when they got busted. I heard things ain't been the same 'round here since.

 

[MidwestRiders]

There's blood on the floor
and there's holes in the wall




Musta been them pills that I took
Hank III

 

[girlsmiley]

It's not one line, but...

And draw us near
And bind us tight
All your children here
In their rags of light
In our rags of light
All dressed to kill
And end this night
If it be your will

 

[lovetoread]

Don't you try to blame this on me.
My love for you was bulletproof but you're the one who shot me.
And god damn it, I can barely say your name,
so I'll try to write it and fill the pen with blood from the sink.

Heard this last week

There's a coffee stain around your eye and lines that I don't recognize

From Sarah Harmer

You're so cold, put your hand in mine.
