Lyrics Worth a Date?

In a blatant cry for help to boost my spirits ... and since music is such an effective form of communication with my heart ... I'm posing an application to date me, of sorts ...

I'm asking readers - men and women alike - to leave a comment with the song lyrics they'd play for me in their version of a standing outside my window Say Anything moment. Or perhaps the lyrics they'd play mid-relationship as a reminder to me. Maybe just some sweet and touching words.

I'm constantly hearing lyrics that I wish were words said by someone that mattered ... so here's your chance to make a sad girl smile ...

Trouble me, disturb me with all your cares and you worries.
Trouble me on the days when you feel spent.
Why let your shoulders bend underneath this burden when my back is sturdy and strong?
Trouble me.
Speak to me, don't mislead me, the calm I feel means a storm is swelling;
there's no telling where it starts or how it ends.
Speak to me, why are you building this thick brick wall to defend me when your silence is my greatest fear?
Why let your shoulders bend underneath this burden when my back is sturdy and strong?
Speak to me.
Let me have a look inside these eyes while I'm learning.
Please don't hide them just because of tears.
Let me send you off to sleep with a There, there, now stop your turning and tossing.
Let me know where the hurt is and how to heal.
Spare me? Don't spare me anything troubling.
Trouble me, disturb me with all your cares and you worries.
Speak to me and let our words build a shelter from the storm.
Lastly, let me know what I can mend.
There's more, honestly, than my sweet friend, you can see.
Trust is what I'm offering if you trouble me.

A hard knock
A cold clock
Ticking off my time
A long look
But no luck
Couldn't seem to find
Or unwind
Into peace of mind
While I was trying

A quick glance
A big chance
My heart beat like a drum
I saw you
And I knew
Chances just don't come
Round again
Not like this
First a laugh
Then a kiss

And I'm free in you
I've got no worries on my mind
I know what to do
That's to treat you right
And love you kind
Thank you ever on my mind
Love is just like breathing
When it's true
And I'm free in you

The lost time
And self pride
Are my big mistakes
A clear voice
A bad choice
Sounding like an ache
In my day
Not too bad
But too real
To go away

But now I'm free in you
I've got no worries on my mind
I know what to do
That's to treat you right
And love you kind
Thank you ever on my mind
Love is just like breathing
When it's true
And I'm free in you

And I don't know
How you show
Such gentle disregard
For the ugly in me
That I see
That for so long
I took so hard
(I took so hard)
And I truly believe
(I truly believe)
That you see the best in me
(That you see the best in me)
I'm in love
We all love
And that thought
Sets me free

Free in you
Got no worries on my mind
I know what to do
That's to treat you right
And love you kind
Thank you ever on my mind
Love is just like breathing
When it's true
And I'm free in you
Yes I'm free in you

Youve got a cute way of talking
You got the better of me
Just snap your fingers and Im walking
Like a dog hanging on your lead
Im in a spin you know
Shaking on a string you know

You make me feel like dancing
Im gonna dance the night away
You make me feel like dancing
Im gonna dance the night away
You make feel like dancing
I feel like dancing dancing dance the night away
I feel like dancing dancing ahhh

Quarter to four in the morning
I aint feeling tired no no no no no
Just hold me tight and leave on the light
Cause I dont want to go home

You put a spell on me
Im right where you want me to be

You make me feel like dancing
I want to dance the night away
You make me feel like dancing
Im gonna dance the night away
You make feel like dancing
I feel like dancing dancing dance the night away
I feel like dancing dancing

You take me higher
Im gonna catch on fire cause

You make me feel like dancing I wanna dance the night away
You make me feel like dancing Im gonna dance my life away
I feel like dancing dancing dance the night away
I feel like dancing dancing dance the night away
I feel like dancing dancing dance the night away
I feel like dancing dancing ahhh

You really slipped me a potion
I cant get off of the floor
All this perpetual motion
You gotta give me some more
You gotta give me some more

And if youll let me stay well dance our lives away
You make me feel like dancing I wanna dance my life away
You make me feel like dancing I wanna dance my life away
You make me feel like dancing I wanna dance my life away
I feel
You make me feel like dancing

(of course, I'd have to hitch my britches up to hit the high notes in that falsetto)

She's a broken lady, waiting to be mended
Like a potter would mend a broken vase
A broken lady, waiting to be mended
And have what's left of the pieces put back in place

Her love is like a fortress around a man she would have died for
Taking care to take of all he needed
But the lady's fortress slowly turned into a prison
And the warning signs he gave she never heeded
She vowed every morning that what god joined together
No one else in the world could pull apart
And then the walls came tumbling to the ground
And her world came crashing down around her heart

She's a broken lady, waiting to be mended
Like a potter would mend a broken vase
A broken lady, waiting to be mended
And have what's left of the pieces put back in place

She's a broken lady, waiting to be mended
Like a potter would mend a broken vase
A broken lady, waiting to be mended
And have what's left of the pieces put back in place

Pretty song ... li'l mournful, but with just the right mix of sadness and hope. Sounds better than it reads, and the Gatlin Brothers did it proper.

Baby Im amazed at the way you love me all the time
Maybe Im afraid of the way I love you
Baby Im amazed at the the way you pulled me out of time
Hung me on a line
Maybe Im amazed at the way I really need you

Baby Im a man and maybe Im a lonely man
Whos in the middle of something
That he dosent really understand
Babe Im a man and maybe youre the only woman
Who could ever help me
Baby wont you help to me understand

Baby Im a man and maybe Im a lonely man
Whos in the middle of something
That he dosent really understand
Babe Im a man and maybe youre the only woman
Who could ever help me
Baby wont you help me understand

Baby Im amazed at the way youre with me all the time
Maybe Im afraid of the way I leave you
Baby Im amazed at the way you help me sing my song
You right me when Im wrong
Maybe Im amazed at the way I really need you

oh, and what woman, would not want to hear this...

We got the afternoon
You got this room for two
One thing I've left to do
Discover me
Discovering you

One mile to every inch of
Your skin like porcelain
One pair of candy lips and
Your bubblegum tongue

And if you want love
We'll make it
Swim in a deep sea
Of blankets
Take all your big plans
And break 'em
This is bound to be awhile

Your body is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands)
Your body is a wonderland

Something 'bout the way the hair falls in your face
I love the shape you take when crawling towards the pillowcase
You tell me where to go and
Though I might leave to find it
I'll never let your head hit the bed
Without my hand behind it

You want love?
We'll make it
Swim in a deep sea
Of blankets
Take all your big plans
And break 'em
This is bound to be awhile

Your body is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands)
Your body is a wonderland

Damn baby
You frustrate me
I know you're mine all mine all mine
But you look so good it hurts sometimes

Your body is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands)
Your body is a wonderland
Your body is a wonderland

I'm never speaking up again
Now there's no reason
I've got the kind of love in my hands
To last all season

To the teller down at the bank
You're just another checking account
To the plumber that came today
You're just another house
At the airport ticket counter
You're just another fare
At the beauty shop at the mall
Well you're just another head of hair
Well that's alright, that's ok
If you don't feel important, honey
All I've got to say is

To the world
You may be just another girl
But to me
Baby, you are the world

To the waiter at the restaurant
You're just another tip
To the guy at the ice cream shop
You're just another dip
When you can't get reservations
'Cause you don't have the clout
Or you didn't get an invitation
'Cause somebody left you out
That's alright, that's ok
When you don't feel important honey
All I've got to say is

To the world
You may be just another girl
But to me
Baby, you are the world

You think you're one of millions but you're one in a million to me
When you wonder if you matter, baby look into my eyes
And tell me, can't you see you're everything to me

That's alright, that's ok
When you don't feel important honey
All I've gotta say is


To the world
You may be just another girl
But to me
Baby, you are the world

Havin' my baby!
What a lovely way of sayin'...

(Ha! That's a joke! If my gf see's this I'm dead!)

I suck donkey dicks at stuff like this, so just let me say: Thank you for having the forethought, ability, desire, and guts to organize the blogmeets. I'd never have met some of those folks if it weren't for you.

Steal a dollar from my mama's purse,
buy you that skull-and-crossbones ring,
You can wear it around your neck
on an old piece of string.

Steal a hacksaw from my daddy,
I'll cut those braces off you legs,
and bury them tonight
out in the cornfield.

....Tom Waits

If I win the date, I'll take a rain check until my next life. I am an old codger now. Too old to be dating sweet young ladies like you. Anyway, I thought you would like these lyrics. The band is not around anymore but I thought this song was great in its day.

So In To You
by Atlanta Rhythm Section

When you walked into the room
There was voodoo in the vibes.
I was captured by your style;
But I could not catch your eyes.
Now I stand here helplessly
Hoping you'll get into me.

I am so into you
I can't think of nothing else.
I am so into you
I can't think of nothing else.
Thinking how it's going to be
Whenever you get into me.

It's gonna be good, don't you know.
From your head to your toe,
Gonna love you all over,
Over and over,
I am so into you,
Me into you, you into me, me into you.

I am so into you
I can't get to nothing else.
I am so into you
I can't get to nothing else.
Thinking how it's going to be
Whenever you get into me.

C'mon baby, drivin' me crazy,
I'm so into you,
Love all the things you do.

In this cold world no matter where I go
the crowds, they're all the same.
To them I'm just a pebble in the sand,
a face without a name.

Nobody gives a hang for what I say or do
But you, and in the shelter of your arms
I find peace and comfort and care
For I am wanted there.

In this cold world, you struggle to survive
and sometimes, you can fall.
You'd think someone would lend a helpin hand
they'd sooner see you crawl.

But just when life itself seems more than I can bare...
You're there and in the shelter of your arms
I find strength and comfort with care.
For I am wanted there.

Just give me one good reason
to go on living. To keep on trying
For what.?.I ask you for what?
If not for you and all your love, to see me through.

But just when life itself seems more than I can bare
You're there and in the shelter of your arms I find
strength and safety in them, I rise and start again.

What Victor said.

I'm not good with songs, but I hope you find the one that sounds perfect.

When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love

When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love

I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong

I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love

The storms are raging on the rollin' sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me yet

I could make you happy, make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the earth for you
To make you feel my love

Come baby, find me, come baby, remind me of where I once begun.
Come baby, show me, show me you know me, tell me you're the one.
I could be learning, you could be yearning to see behind closed doors.
But I will always be emotionally yours.

Come baby, rock me, come baby, lock me into the shadows of your heart.
Come baby, teach me, come baby, reach me, let the music start.
I could be dreaming but I keep believing you're the one I'm livin' for.
And I will always be emotionally yours.

It's like my whole life never happened,
When I see you, it's as if I never had a thought.
I know this dream, it might be crazy,
But it's the only one I've got.

Come baby, shake me, come baby, take me, I would be satisfied.
Come baby, hold me, come baby, help me, my arms are open wide.
I could be unraveling wherever I'm traveling, even to foreign shores.
But I will always be emotionally yours.

Since I'm married and can't afford to have you saying "yes" to me...


Why Don't We Get Drunk And Screw
By Jimmy Buffet

I really do appreciate
The fact you're sittin' here
Your voice sounds so wonderful
But yer face don't look too clear
So bar maid bring a pitcher
Another round o' brew
Honey, why don't we get drunk and screw

Why don't we get drunk and screw
I just bought a water bed
It's filled up for me and you
They say you are a snow queen
Honey, I don't think that's true
So, why don't we get drunk and screw

'Pick it Coral Reefers, here we go...'

Why don't we get drunk and screw
I just bought a water bed
It's filled up for me and you
They say you are a snow queen
Honey, I don't think that's true
So, why don't we get drunk and screw

Yeah, now baby I say (Lord!)
Why don't we get drunk and screw

Posted by: Harvey at June 24, 2006 02:48 PM

It's late at night and we're all alone
With just the music on the radio
No one's coming, no one's gonna telephone
Just me and you and the lights down low
And we're

Slow dancing, swaying to the music
Slow dancing, just me and my girl
Slow dancing, swaying to the music
No one else in the whole wide world
Just you, girl

Posted by: Rogue at June 29, 2006 03:56 PM

Babe i'm not the type of girl who you'd find missing you.
But I have gotten involved into something that's impossible to undo.
And for 8 months straight you've had me in a daze.
And it's one of those great feelings that just won't go away!

Baby I think this just might be love.
There is so much connection and so much trust.
baby this has got to be love.
and if it isn't what's possibly gotten into us?

When I'm with you,you take away all of my fears
when i get hurt you get rid of all my tears.
and there's no one out there that can make me feel this way.
you are my own little world where i can go to when i just need to escape.
baby baby please don't ever go away!
