Title: KRS-One - Kill A Rapper lyrics

Artist: KRS-One


[Intro]
I don't understand this man (it's ********)
Why they can't ever solve the crime Marley?
(Whatever happened with that Scott LaRock case man?)
I don't know

[Chorus]
You wanna get away with murder - KILL A RAPPER
You wanna get away with murder - KILL A RAPPER
The investigation won't go further - KILL A RAPPER
You wanna get away with murder - KILL A RAPPER


[KRS-One]
Scott LaRock's a open case, unresolved
The cops never find the killer, when it's one of ours
Tupac's a open case; even though

he was killed in a open place there's really no haste
It's sorta like we govern ourselves
Even though we lack a love for ourselves
Or is that we know this thug **** sells?
You want them pockets too swell well
Even though we know we livin in hell - WHAT ABOUT BIG L?
Hold up, let's stop frontin, let me tell you somethin
JMJ's dead, and the cops don't know NUTTIN?!
We gotta open our eyes to this too, this issue
Lisa 'Left Eye', we miss you

[Chorus]

[KRS-One]
It seems like when a rapper dies it don't matter
He simply becomes a poster, somethin to run after
A reason for these kids to pull they guns faster
Tryin to emulate and be like dead rappers
I roll with them visionary look-ahead rappers
From the city to the farm pushin John Deere tractors
Bust this, in the city, there is no justice
The whole system is flawed, how could you trust this?
Crimes can't seem to be solved when it's one of us
That's why there's no forgiveness and cats just wanna bust
Hush, some people take the law into they own hand
and get burned like touchin frying pans

[Chorus]

[KRS-One]
Man, we lyin too much, we dyin too much
Mothers cryin too much, brothers tryin to touch
that cash and such, in they hand they want a grand to clutch
Dissin they man and such
But Christopher Wallace is a unresolved murder
Another one is Mac Dre, I don't know if y'all heard of
him, but word is grim, when it turns to sin
All hip-hoppers are next of kin
We face what we supposed to face
But when it comes to them CRIMES, they never seem to CLOSE THE CASE
Yo Marley...
Uhh, uhh, uhh, uhh

[Chorus]

(There he go right there!) {*click clack*}
(Son ain't even worth it kid)

I always loved this song. Always thought it would be a great wedding song.

Christy Moore
The Voyage

I am a sailor, you're my first mate
We signed on together, we coupled our fate
Hauled up our anchor, determined not to fail
For the hearts treasure, together we set sail

With no maps to guide us we steered our own course
Rode out the storms when the winds were gale force
Sat out the doldrums in patience and hope
Working together we learned how to cope

Life is an ocean and love is a boat
In troubled water that keeps us afloat
When we started the voyage, there was just me and you
Now gathered round us, we have our own crew

Together we're in this relationship
We built it with care to last the whole trip
Our true destination's not marked on any charts
We're navigating to the shores of the heart

Life is an ocean and love is a boat
In troubled water that keeps us afloat
When we started the voyage, there was just me and you
Now gathered round us, we have our own crew

Love Dido

"Don't Think Of Me"

So you're with her
and not with me
I hope she's sweet
and so pretty
I hear she cooks delightfully
a little angel beside you
So you're with her
and not with me
Oh how lucky one man can be
I hear your house
is small and clean
Oh how lovely with your homecoming queen
Oh how lovely it must be

When you see her sweet smile baby
Don't think of me
When she lays in your warm arms
Don't think of me

So you're with her
and not with me
I know she spreads sweet honey
In fact your best friend
I heard he spent last night with her
Now how do you feel

When you see her sweet smile baby
Don't think of me
When she lays in your warm arms
Don't think of me

And it's too late and it's too bad
Don't think of me
Oh it's too late and it's too bad
Don't think of me

Does it bother you now all the mess I made
Does it bother you now the clothes you told me not to wear
Does it bother you now all the angry games we played
Does it bother you now when I'm not there

When you see her sweet smile baby
Don't think of me
When she lays in your warm arms
Don't think of me

And it's too late and it's too bad
Don't think of me
Oh it's too late and it's too bad
Don't think of me

:thumbup:

My best memory of that song is when my sister, my cousin and I were sitting at the bar in the Irish Pub in Atlantic City. It was a slow night and we were getting ready to leave when a bunch of smoking hot guys started coming in from both directions. Turned out they were from England and in Jersey to teach soccer camp.

Anyway, "Wonderwall" came on the juke box and those boys drunkenly sang their hearts out. It was a blast.

My Downfall Lyrics (Notorious B.I.G.)

Notorious B.I.G. - My Downfall Lyrics


"My Downfall"(feat. DMC)

Jealousy's a mother****er, you weak jealous mother****ers!
If you a jealous mother****er, you just a weak mother****er!
See when you on top, mother****ers just wanna bring you down!
Mother****ers don't even know you, and they don't like you...

[Notorious B.I.G.]
Uhh, I dreams filthy
My moms and pops mixed in with Jamaican Rum and Whiskey
Huh, what a set up
Shoulda pushed em dead off, wipe the sweat off
Uhh, cause in this world I'm debtor, squeeze lead off
Benz sped off, ain't no shook hands in Brook-land
Army fatigue break up teams, the enemies
Look man, you wanna see me locked up, shot up
Moms crotched up over the casket, screamin BASTARD
Cryin, know my friends is lyin
Y'all know who killed im filled im with the lugars from they Rugers
or they Desert, dyin ain't the **** but it's present
Kinda quiet, watch my ****** bring the riot
Giving cats the opposite of diets
The game lure you down when you die no lie, lazy eye
I was high when they hit me, took a few cats with me
****, I need the company
(uh-huh)
Apoligies in order, to T'Yanna my daughter
If it was up to me you would be with me, sorta like
Daddy Dearest, my vision be the clearest
Silencers so you can't hear it
Competition still fear it, **** don't ask me
I went from ashy to nasty to classy, and still

[DMC]
That's not all, MC's have the gall
To pray and pray for my downfall
Pray and pray for my downfall
Pray and pray for my downfall

[Notorious B.I.G.]
This goes out to cats, fingers in they ass again
Fifty dollar half-a-men, daydreamin
**** around get wet like semen, your whole team-and
be more gone than freemen
I took the cream and, moved to new places new faces
**** the screwfaces, when I flip
I make the papers, dangerous, we Goodfellas
****** can't bang with us, try to do me
My crew be unruly (what)
To old school cats that call gats toolies
Call blacks moolies, think it's cool to smoke woolies
And **** without rubbers (what) specialize
in killin wives and grandmothers, who ya trustin, ****
When Frank start bustin, Frank start somethin
Killin ya gently, God meant me, to push a Bentley
Me and Sean Combs takin broads home
On the phone with the chip, these Cristal chips
bought to make our own porno flicks, my life's the ****

[DMC]
That's not all, MC's have the gall
To pray and pray for my downfall
Pray and pray for my downfall
Pray and pray for my downfall

That's not all, MC's have the gall
To pray and pray for my downfall
Pray and pray for my downfall
Pray and pray for my downfall

[Notorious B.I.G.]
We used to hold the gold, now we floss with diamonds
****** want my team to stop shinin
Pray my fame start declinin
Windin night girlies
We been around the world twice, moats that'll smoke ice
in moonlights, sacrifice your heart
Lexus with the automatic start (what)
Fifty shots'll tear your club apart
Eatin shrimp outta cars, with some ******* from Brussels
Eatin clams or mussels
Uhh, out the puss (what) pretty face no waist
I just want the bush, so I can mack you
Give her a package to push, cause I work dem hoes
Den dey hoes, I show you how to play them hoes
Can you just visualize it
Before I go to sleep I check the beds and the closet
so I can sleep safe, not too many people mill in the briefcase
Infrareds help me sleep safe, but wait

[DMC]
That's not all, MC's have the gall
To pray and pray for my downfall
Pray and pray for my downfall
Pray and pray for my downfall

Y'all mother****ers live off of negativity
What y'all ****** need to get through your mother****in heads
Is that, y'all ****in with some ****** that's on a higher
mother****in level -- we don't give a ****
About what you think about less how you feel about us
What you got to say about us
We gon keep doin our mother****in thing
From now till the year three thousand *******!
You can't breathe, you can't sleep, you can't eat
without thinkin about us!
Without thinkin about us to the end!
We gonna kill you heartless mother****ers!

[DMC]
That's not all, MC's have the gall

Lets go... yall gon wish for a ***** like me
when i aint here you know what im sayin(u think im lyin)
(say goodbye to the badguy)


[chorus]
(You don't appreciate a ***** my type,
Once I die there ain't no more ****** my type,
So just remember me right)

Bet you don't appreciate a ***** my type,
But when I die there ain't no more ****** my type,
So just remember me right,
Bet if I let them suckers kill me tonight,
All them haters gon' be filled with delight,
God forgive me aight,
I sacrifice so they can live my life,
If necessary I'll give my life,
What you hear is my life,
Reputation decorated with stripes,
No need crying at the end of my life,
Just remember me right
[/chorus]

[Verse 1]
When your back was against the wall remember where could you go,
Remember who helped you again like he helped you before,
Went out the way to let you know that you ain't never alone,
They disrespect you come here until they left you alone,
He tought you how to be weak, he tought you how to be strong,
Taught you not to accept defeat you go all out or be gone,
But it ain't the same in the streets now that he gone,
He now in heaven on the throne exactly where he belong,
But he left millions devastated and his family mourned,
Sons turn to grown man since their daddy been gone,
Daughters grew like him or not he left his family home,
Even prepared the funeral service he had in the dome,
And then they came to represent for a stand up gent,
Who walked it like he talked it, always said what he meant,
Impossible to stop him had a head like cement,
Maybe now you'll appreciate the ***** like this..

[chorus]
Bet you don't appreciate a ***** my type,
But when I die there ain't no more ****** my type,
So just remember me right,
Bet if I let them suckers kill me tonight,
All them haters gon' be filled with delight,
God forgive me aight,
I sacrifice so they can live my life,
If necessary I'll give my life,
What you hear is my life,
Reputation decorated with stripes,
No need crying at the end of my life,
Just remember me right
[/chorus]

[Verse 2]
If theyonly knew the man outside of the hype,
No matter what the situation he alway try to do right,
Still they gossip and told lies, used to take him for granted,
Often found it hard to relate, some how they can't understand it,
'Cause that respect he gon' demand it, theres a problem he handle it,
Looked adversity in the eye, he never ran from a challenge,
They try to knock him off balance when the fed came and got him,
[My Type lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]

Did the time on the edge came home now he ain't stoppin',
Now while them ****** used to hate him, but they girl use to jock him,
Swear he had the kinda swagger made the world stop and watch him,
Plus he possessed so much hustle, made it impossible to top him,
Got better every album, haters hate to see him drop em',
They just talk **** from a distance, when he around they playin' posse,
He use to scare the suckers shitless, probly why them ****** shot him,
Hey what it took nothing else than what they could've ever did about him,
So go on talk **** about him,
At least you ain't forgot about him..

[chorus]
Bet you don't appreciate a ***** my type,
But when I die there ain't no more ****** my type,
So just remember me right,
Bet if I let them suckers kill me tonight,
All them haters gon' be filled with delight,
God forgive me aight,
I sacrifice so they can live my life,
If necessary I'll give my life,
What you hear is my life,
Reputation decorated with stripes,
No need crying at the end of my life,
Just remember me right
[/chorus]

[Verse 3]
Wanna say sorry to my Mama,
King and Lil Mama,
See me go through so much drama,
You could stand a little thunder,
Never let em' see you sweat, stay cool as a cucumber,
Stay ready for whatever, make note I'm a do wonder,
How he died? On his feet like a man with honor,
Showed you the sky was the limit, you can do whatever you wanna,
dats for bubba and demani deja need me,
Don't worry bout me Uncle Phil the ladies with me,
See me with your granddaddy,
I know you gon' miss daddy,
But life ain't always a dream, and horrible **** happens,
Had I let a ***** kill me before I could quit rapping,
And get to spend more time with ya, I know we woulda been happy,
But I had to take the chances, You would have been trappin',
Long as I could keep that from happening,
Ya Papi could die happy,
So keep the wind at your back and the sun at your face,
Remember winnin' in your blood you were born with what it take(okay)..

[chorus]
Bet you don't appreciate a ***** my type,
But when I die there ain't no more ****** my type,
So just remember me right,
Bet if I let them suckers kill me tonight,
All them haters gon' be filled with delight,
God forgive me aight,
I sacrifice so they can live my life,
If necessary I'll give my life,
What you hear is my life,
Reputation decorated with stripes,
No need crying at the end of my life,
Just remember me right
[/chorus]

Billy Joel's "And So It Goes"

The lyrics really are fantabulous, especially if you are me, which you are not. :p

In every heart there is a room
A sanctuary safe and strong
To heal the wounds from lovers past
Until a new one comes along

I spoke to you in cautious tones
You answered me with no pretense
And still I feel I said too much
My silence is my self defense

And every time I've held a rose
It seems I only felt the thorns
And so it goes, and so it goes
And so will you soon I suppose

But if my silence made you leave
Then that would be my worst mistake
So I will share this room with you
And you can have this heart to break

And this is why my eyes are closed
It's just as well for all I've seen
And so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows

So I would choose to be with you
That's if the choice were mine to make
But you can make decisions too
And you can have this heart to break

And so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows

2PAC LYRICS

"Violent"

[2Pac]
They claim that I'm violent, just cause I refuse to be silent
These hypocrites are havin fits, cause I'm not buyin it
Defyin it, envious because I will rebel against
any oppressor, and this is known as self defense
I show no mercy, they claim that I'm the lunatic
But when the **** gets thick, I'm the one you go and get
Don't look confused, the truth is so plain to see
Cause I'm the ***** that you sell-outs are ashamed to be
In every Jeep and every car, brothers stomp this
I'm Never Ignorant, Getting Goals Accomplished
The underground railroad on an uprise
This time the truth's gettin told, heard enough lies
I told em fight back, attack on society
If this is violence, then violent's what I gotta be
If you investigate you'll find out where it's comin from
Look through our history, America's the violent one
Unlock my brain, break the chains of your misery
This time the payback for evil **** you did to me
They call me militant, racist cause I will resist
You wanna censor somethin, mother****er censor this!
My words are weapons, and I'm steppin to the silent
Wakin up the masses, but you, claim that I'm violent

"They claimin that I'm violent" -> Chuck D [cut and scratched]
"**** the damn cop!" [cut and scratched]
"Just because we play what the people want.."
"They claimin that I'm violent" -> Chuck D [cut and scratched]
"**** the damn cop!" [cut and scratched]
"Just because we play what the people want.."
"They claimin that I'm violent" -> Chuck D [cut and scratched]
"**** the damn cop!" [cut and scratched]

[2Pac]
The cops can't stand me, but they can't touch me
Call me a dope man, cause I rock dope beats
Jacked by the police, didn't have my ID
I said, "Excuse me, why you tryin to rob me?"
He had tha nerve to, say that I had a curfew
(Do you know what time it is?
Get out the ****ing car, or I'll hurt you!)
"Get out the car... or I'lI hurt you"
So here I go, I better make my mind up
Pick my nine up, or hit the line-up
I chose B, stepped into the streets
The first cop grabbed me, the other ripped my seat
They grabbed my homie and they threw him to the concrete
(Ay man.. aiyyo.. ay man just c'mon ?)
("What you doin man?") They tried to frame me
They tried to say I had some dope in the back seat
But I'm a rap fiend, not a crack fiend
My homie panicked ("I'm out") he tried to run
(Freeze *****!) I heard a bullet fire from the cop's gun
My homie dropped so, I hit the cop
I kept swingin, yo, I couldn't stop
Before I knew it, I was beatin the cop senseless
The other cop dropped his gun, he was defenseless
(? Arrrrggggh, **** you! Ungggh!)
Now I'm against this cop who was racist
Given him a taste, of tradin places
And all this, cause the peckerwood was tryin this
frame up, but I came up
Now they claimin that I'm violent

[Chorus]

[2Pac]
As I was beatin on a cop, I heard a gun click (uh-ohh)
Then the gun shot, but I wasn't hit
I turned around it was my homie with the gun in hand
He shot the cop (damn!) now he's a dead man
I said, come on, it's time for us to get away
(Let's go, we gotta get the **** outta here)
They called for backup, and they'll be on their way
Jumped in the car, and tried to get away quick
The car wouldn't start (damn!) we in deep ****
So we jumped out (C'mon let's take the cop's car)
We drove a little ways thinkin that we got far
But I looked up, and all I saw was blue lights
If I die tonight, I'm dying in a gunfight
I grabed the AK, my homie took the 12 gauge
Load em up quick, it's time for us to spray
We'll shoot em up with they own ****in weapons
And when we through sprayin (audi) then we steppin
This is a lesson, to the rednecks and crooked cops
You **** with real ******, get ya ****in ass dropped
So here we go, the police against us
Dark as dusk, waitin for the guns to bust (What's next man?)
What's next, I don't know and I don't care
One things fo' sho', tommorrow I won't be here
But if I go, I'm takin all these punks with me
Pass me a clip G, now come and get me
You wanna sweat me, never get me to be silent
Givin them a reason, (a reason) to claim that I'm violent...

NERF HERDER "Every Band Sings a Sad Sad Song"

Rock bands play hard from 9 to 5
But they still got a sensitive side
When they want our sympathy
They put down their flying feet.

Ballads show how much they care
Even (Rob Thomas?) is a big teddy bear.
These songs all go by different names
But their point's the same.

Every rose has it's thorn
Just like every dog has their bone
And every rock band sings a sad sad song.

The ballad worked great for Skid Row
It made Malsensious Fox arose
With songs like Sister Christian
Rock frontmen prove there's a chunk within.

Joe Elliot's eyes get watery
While his band pours sugar on you and me
Even Ozzy needs a hug
And a little TLC

Every rose has it's thorn
Just like every dog has their bone
And every rock band sings a sad sad song.

Now what can I do?
I sit waiting, Waiting for a girl like you.

I know girls like you
Need someone to screw-up their life
And make you contemplate suicide,
When you need a
Blah-blah-blah-blah-blah

You need someone bad,
To irritate your dad,
Someone to make you cry,
And sock you in the eye,
When you need a firend to
Bring you to your knees,
Call me...

Am I angry enough? Am I crazy enough?
Am I stupid enough? Am I lazy enough?
Am I drunk enough? Do I flunk enough?
Am I jealous enough?
Am I selfish enough to be...
Your bridge under troubled water, yeah!

You like pain, you're insane
You can key my car,
And punch my face in the bar
When you blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah
Call me...

Am I angry enough? Am I crazy enough?
Am I stupid enough? Am I lazy enough?
Am I drunk enough? Do I flunk enough?
Am I jealous enough?
Am I selfish enough to be...
Your bridge under troubled water, yeah!

Am I boring enough?
Am I snoring enough?
Am I demanding enough?
Un-outstanding enough?
Am I fat enough? Mad enough?
Am I bad enough? Wear plaid enough?
Am I drunk enough?
Smell like a skunk enough?
Do I **** enough?
Do crank enough to be...
Your bridge under troubled
Your bridge under troubled
Your bridge under troubled water!

Tell Her About It

Wise, wise man, Mr. Joel:

Listen boy
Don't want to see you let a good thing
Slip away

You know I don't like watching
Anybody make the same mistakes
I made

She's a real nice girl
And she's always there for you
But a nice girl wouldn't tell you what you should do

Listen boy
I'm sure that you think you got it all
Under control

You don't want somebody telling you
The way to stay in someone's soul

You're a big boy now
You'll never let her go
But that's just the kind of thing
She ought to know

Tell her about it
Tell her everything you feel
Give her every reason to accept
That you're for real

Tell her about it
Tell her all your crazy dreams
Let her know you need her
Let her know how much she means

Listen boy
It's not automatically a certain guarantee
To insure yourself
You've got to provide communication constantly

When you love someone
You're always insecure
And there's only one good way
To reassure

Tell her about it
Let her know how much you care
When she can't be with you
Tell her you wish you were there

Tell her about it
Every day before you leave
Pay her some attention
Give her something to believe

Cause now and then
She'll get to worrying
Just because you haven't spoken
For so long
Though you may not have done anything
Will that be a consolation when she's gone

Listen boy
It's good information from a man
Who's made mistakes

Just a word or two that she gets from you
Could be the difference that it makes

She's a trusting soul
She's put her trust in you
But a girl like that won't tell you
What you should do

Tell her about it
Tell her everything you feel
Give her every reason
To accept that you're for real

Tell her about it
Tell her all your crazy dreams
Let her know you need her
Let her know how much she means

Tell her about it
Tell her how you feel right now
Tell her about it
The girl don't want to wait too long
You got to tell her about it
Tell her now and you won't go wrong
You got to tell her about it
Before it gets too late
You got to tell her about it
You know the girl don't want
To wait--you got to
Tell her about it

Dreaming with a broken heart - John Mayer

I like John Mayer--even if he did cover "No Woman No Cry"...

Great song...although it is from the man's point of view...

When you're dreaming with a broken heart
The waking up is the hardest part

You roll out of bed and down on your knees
and for a moment you can hardly breathe
Wondering was she really here
Is she standing in my room?

No, she's not
cause she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone.

When you're dreaming with a broken heart
The giving up is the hardest part

She takes you in with her crying eyes
then all at once you have to say goodbye
wondering could you stay my love

will you wake up by my side?

No, she can't
cause she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone.

Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my, roses in my hands?
Would you get them if I did?

No, you won't
Cause you're gone, gone, gone, gone, gone.

When you're dreaming with a broken heart
the waking up is the hardest part.

Must I Paint You A Picture?
Billy Bragg

It's bad timing and me
We find a lot of things out this way
And there's you
A little black cloud in a dress
The temptation
To take the precious things we have apart
To see how they work
Must be resisted for they never fit together again
If this is rain let it fall on me and drown me
If these are tears let them fall

Chorus:
Must I paint you a picture
About the way that I feel
You know my love for you is strong, girl
You know my love for you is real

It took a short walk and a talk
To change the rules of engagement
While you searched frantically for reverse and them claiming
That virtue never tested is no virtue at all
And so I lost my ignorance
And now the bells across the river chime out your name
I look across to them again

All your friends said come down
It will never fly
And on that imperfect day
We threw it all away
Crisis after crisis, with such intensity
This would never happen if we lived by the sea

Most important decisions in life
Are made between two people in bed
I found that out at my expense
And when I see you
You just turn around and walk away like we never met
Oh we used to be so brave
I dreamt the world stopped turning as we climbed the hill
I dreamt impossible dreams that we were lovers still

Song for the Dumped
Ben Folds Five

So you wanted to take a break
Slow it down some and have some space
Well f*** you too!

Give me my money back!
Give me my money back, you bitch!
I want my money back!

Wish I hadn't bought you dinner
Right before you dumped me on your front porch

Give me my money back!
Give me my money back, you bitch!
I want my money back
... and don't forget my black T-shirt!

Insensitive - Jan Arden

How do you cool your lips
After a summer's kiss
How do you rid the sweat
After the body bliss
How do you turn your eyes
From a romantic glare
How do you block the sound
Of a voice you'd know anywhere

Oh, I really should have known
By the time you drove me home
By the vagueness in your eyes
Casual good-byes
By the chill in your embrace
The expression on your face
That told me
You might have some advice to give
On how to be
Insensitive

How do you numb your skin
After the warmest touch
How do you slow your blood
After the body rush
How do you free your soul
After you've found a friend
How do you teach your heart
It's a crime to fall in love again

Oh, you probably won't remember me
It's probably ancient history
I'm one of the chosen few
Who went ahead and fell for you
I'm out of vogue, I'm out of touch
I fell too fast, I feel too much
I thought that you might have
Some advice to give on how to be
Insensitive

The Way I Are - Timbaland feat. Keri Hilson & D.O.E.

Man, I love this song. I even like the lyrics...

The Way I Are
(feat. Keri Hilson, D.O.E.)

I ain't got no money
I ain't got no car to take you on a date
I can't even buy you flowers
But together we'll be the perfect soulmates
Talk to me girl

Oh, baby, it's alright now, you ain't gotta flaunt for me
If we go touch, you can still touch my love, it's free
We can work without the perks just you and me
Thug it out 'til we get it right

Baby if you strip, you can get a tip
'Cause I like you just the way you are
(I'm about to strip and I'm well equipped
Can you handle me the way I are?)
I don't need the G's or the car keys
Boy I like you just the way you are
Let me see ya strip, you can get a tip
'Cause I like, I like, I like

I ain't got no Visa
I ain't got no Red American Express
We can't go nowhere exotic
It don't matter 'cause I'm the one that loves you best
Talk to me girl

Oh, baby, it's alright now, you ain't gotta flaunt for me
If we go touch, you can still touch my love, it's free
We can work without the perks just you and me
Thug it out 'til we get it right

Baby if you strip, you can get a tip
'Cause I like you just the way you are
(I'm about to strip and I'm well equipped
Can you handle me the way I are?)
I don't need the G's or the car keys
Boy I like you just the way you are
Let me see ya strip, you can get a tip
'Cause I like you just the way you are

Baby girl, I don't got a huge ol' house I rent a room in a house
Listen baby girl, I ain't got a motorboat but I can float ya boat
So listen baby girl, once you get a dose of D.O.E. you gon' want some mo'
So listen baby girl, when I make it I want you back, want you back, yeah

Love "The Way I Are."

But, that is not the reason for my post. There is way too little Cure in this thread. "Pictures of You" is one of my favorite songs of all time.

I've been looking so long at these pictures of you
That I almost believe that they're real
I've been living so long with my pictures of you
That I almost believe that the pictures are
All I can feel

Remembering
You standing quiet in the rain
As I ran to your heart to be near
And we kissed as the sky fell in
Holding you close
How I always held close in your fear
Remembering
You running soft through the night
You were bigger and brighter and wider than snow
And screamed at the make-believe
Screamed at the sky
And you finally found all your courage
To let it all go

Remembering
You fallen into my arms
Crying for the death of your heart
You were stone white
So delicate
Lost in the cold
You were always so lost in the dark
Remembering
You how you used to be
Slow drowned
You were angels
So much more than everything
Hold for the last time then slip away quietly
Open my eyes
But I never see anything

If only I'd thought of the right words
I could have held on to your heart
If only I'd thought of the right words
I wouldn't be breaking apart
All my pictures of you

Looking so long at these pictures of you
But I never hold on to your heart
Looking so long for the words to be true
But always just breaking apart
My pictures of you

There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to feel you deep in my heart
There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to never feel the breaking apart
All my pictures of you

Fabulous song, Wendy.

I've been loving "Apologize" by OneRepublic...makes me think of my ex-husband a LOT:

I'm holding on your rope,
Got me ten feet off the ground
I'm hearin' what you say but I just can't make a sound
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down,
but wait
You tell me that you're sorry
Didn't think I'd turn around, and say...

It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late

I'd take another chance, take a fall
Take a shot for you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat
But it's nothin' new
I loved you with a fire red-
Now it's turning blue, and you say...
"Sorry" like the angel heaven let me think was you
But I'm afraid...

It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late

It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
It's too late to apologize, yeah
I said it's too late to apologize, yeah-
I'm holdin on your rope, got me ten feet off the ground...

Wow. o posts in over a month. Either we are all really happy or very uninspired, lol!

I've posted this one before, but it seems like a good time to post it again. I'm 0 for about 7, lol. :p

This year's Love
David Gray

This years love had better last
Heaven knows it's high time
And I've been waiting on my own too long
But when you hold me like you do
It feels so right
I start to forget
How my heart gets torn
When that hurt gets thrown
Feeling like you can't go on

Turning circles when time again
It cuts like a knife oh yeah
If you love me got to know for sure
Cos it takes something more this time
Than sweet sweet lies
Before I open up my arms and fall
Losing all control
Every dream inside my soul
And when you kiss me
On that midnight street
Sweep me off my feet
Singing ain't this life so sweet

This years love had better last
This years love had better last

So whose to worry
If our hearts get torn
When that hurt gets thrown
Don't you know this life goes on
And won't you kiss me
On that midnight street
Sweep me off my feet
Singing ain't this life so sweet

This years love had better last
This years love had better last
This years love had better last
This years love had better last
