from the album N/A

YOU SAY YOU WANT A DIAMOND ON A RING OF GOLD
YOU SAY YOU WANT YOUR STORY TO REMAIN UNTOLD

ALL THE PROMISES WE MADE
FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE
WHEN ALL I WANT IS YOU

YOU SAY YOU´LL GIVE ME A HIGHWAY WITH NO ONE ON IT
TREASURE JUST TO LOOK UPON IT
ALL THE RICHES IN THE NIGHT
YOU SAY YOU´LL GIVE ME
EYES ON A MOON OF BLINDNESS
A RIVER IN A TIME OF DRYNESS
A HARBOUR IN THE TEMPEST

ALL THE PROMISES WE MAKE
FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE
WHEN ALL I WANT IS YOU

YOU SAY YOU WANT YOUR LOVE TO WORK OUT RIGHT
TO LAST WITH ME THROUGH THE NIGHT
YOU SAY YOU WANT A DIAMOND ON A RING OF GOLD
YOUR STORY TO REMAIN UNTOLD
YOUR LOVE NOT TO GROW COLD

ALL THE PROMISES WE BREAK
FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE
WHEN ALL I WANT IS YOU

ALL I WANT IS YOU

by Christina Milian
from the album Am To Pm

You know like I know you ain’t never ever met nobody like me
You know like I know you ain’t never ever met nobody like me

[Chorus]
You never met a girl like me
I ain’t goin’ other places you be
Who you run with who you having fun with
That’s how it is when you got a down low chick on ya team

[Verse 1]
I might wake you up in the morning and cook for you
If you having problem with a song I’ll write a hook for you
11:30 at night I ain’t gonna look for you
cause I know you coming home with me
I will never stress you or make you feel misled
If you wanna go to the movies I’ll flip it instead
You don’t pay me
I get this with my bread my bread
Cause you know my money ain’t a thang a thang

[Chorus 2x]

[Verse 2]
If you trying to be out to the party I’ll let you go
If you want be out with somebody that’s when I show
You do as you please cause baby that’s how you know that
There’s no other place that I’d rather go
I ain’t trying to be fussin’ and fightin’ up on yo’ back
Anytime you need me you know that I’m getting yo’back
Ain’t no one like me I want you to know that know that
I ain’t changing nothing cause it’s like that like that

[Bridge]
I know you’re used to lovers
That treat you like their mother
So I know it’s hard to understand when I say
I’m your girl but I’m like your man
No matter if it’s sweet talk or street talk
I’m right here by your side
And soon you’ll come to see
How it is to be
Down with a chick like me

[Chorus 4x]

by Luther Vandross
from the album Luther Vandross

I’m standing on your doorstep
And I don’t know what to do
Should I ring your doorbell or just walk away
My friends all say that you were never true
I’m hiding in the shadows

I hear the music coming out of your radio
Are you there with another guy instead of me
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I hear the laughter and there’s something I’ve got to know
Are you there with another guy instead of me
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

I only know I love you and I couldn’t say goodbye
So if there’s another, I don’t want to know
If you should go, I would surely die
I’m hiding in the shadows

And I see two silhouettes in back of your window shade
Are you there with another guy when I am gone
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I can’t believe you’d break the promises that you made
If you’re there with another guy, I can’t go on, oh no
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

You would never leave me, hurt me or deceive me
I’m a fool to doubt you, worry so about you
Love requires faith, I’ve got a lot of faith but
(I hear the music coming out of your radio)

I only know I love you, and I couldn’t say goodbye
So if there’s another, I don’t want to know
If you should go, I would surely die
I’m hiding in the shadows

Yeah, (In the shadows)
Really plotting, hiding in the shadows
I’m hiding in the shadows, yeah

(Umm pah pah, pity the girl)
Pity, pity
(Umm pah pah, pity the girl)
Umm pah pitty
(Umm pah pah, pity the girl)
Umm pah pah, pity pity
(Umm pah pah, pity the girl)

I hear the music coming out of your radio
Are you there with another guy instead of me
Oh no, don’t tell me (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
No I can’t believe it
I hear your laughter and there’s something I’ve got to know
Are you there with another guy instead of me
Please don’t say (Yeah, yeah yeah)
(It’s a pity)

I hear the music coming out of your radio
(Umm pah pah, pity the girl)
(Umm pah pah, pity the girl)
(Umm pah pah, pity the girl)

No, I can’t believe it
I hear the laughter and there’s something I got to know
(Umm pah pah, pity the girl)
(Umm pah pah, pity the girl)
(Umm pah pah, pity the girl)

Yeah baby
Without my love, I pity the girl
(Umm pah pah, pity the girl)
(Umm pah pah, pity the girl)
Your radio
(Umm pah pah, pity the girl)
Oh yeah, yeah
Umm pah pah, pity the girl
(Umm pah pah, pity the girl)
(Umm pah pah, pity the girl)

Daylight
Let it stir you
Let it kiss the sleep out from your eyes
Feel this weight now
Lift into the sky
On and on and on
On and on and on
Cradle
So deeply
So sleeply when I close my eyes
Sprinkle morning
All over you and I
On and on and on
On and on and on
Sleep tonight
Drains into a morning
Let it feel alright
It beckons like a warning
Trace it embrace it
See it crashing through this pretty light
And yes you know me
And how this thing of ours
Goes on and on and on
On and on and on
Sleep tonight
Drains into a morning
Let it feel alright
It beckons like a warning
Sleep tonight
Drains into a morning
Let it feel alright
It beckons like a warning
When we touch the ground
We all fall down

by Pearl Jam

by Bee Gees
from the album Robin’s Reign

Autumn and Friday the winds blew
July , September , I knew you
And now I sit on the sand hill
I sing our song to the sea

August , October
Mid-April , November , May
Beckoning hands made you fly
I cry , it’s curtains today

In August , October the grass grew
The sky was blue and I want you
Now as I look out my window
I see the world carry on

August , October
Mid-April , November , May
Beckoning hands made you fly
I cry , it’s curtains today

August , October
Mid-April , November , May
Beckoning hands made you fly
I cry , it’s curtains today

I cry , it’s curtains today
I cry , it’s curtains today

by The Tragically Hip
from the album Up To Here

twelve men broke loose in seventy-three
from Millhaven maximum security
twelve pictures lined up, across the front page
seems the Mounties had a summertime war to wage
the chief told the people they had nothing to fear
said, "the last thing they wanna do is hang around here"
they mostly came from towns with long french names
but one of the dozen was a hometown shame

same pattern on the table
same clock on the wall
been one seat empty, eighteen years in all
freezing slow time, away from the world
he’s 38 years old, never kissed a girl

we were sitting around the table, heard the telephone ring
father said he’d tell em if he saw anything
heard the tap on my window in the middle of the night
held back the curtain for my older brother Mike

see my sister got raped, so a man got killed
local boy went to prison, man’s buried on the hill
folks went back to normal when they closed the case
but they still stare at their shoes when they pass our place

my mother cried, "the horror has finally ceased!"
he whispered, "yeah, for the time being at least"
over her shoulder, on the squad car megaphone
said, "let’s go Michael, son, we’re taking you home."

by Savage Garden
from the album Savage Garden

Well you know every time I look
at the expression printed on the
page I think I hear you,
Whispering the magic and the
compliments I need so badly
So baby come on, yeah,
so baby come on
Now I’ve been running circles
around the nation that you’d find me
baby
one day maybe.
But all the psychic poweres of
suggestion I’ve been sending your
way,
So can’t you hear me say?
I want your arms all around me,
I want your face yeah, all around me,
I like the way you move
and do the foonky groove.
All around me I want you. All around
me I need you. All around me I want
you. All around me
So can’t you hear me say?
I want your arms all around me,
I want your face yeah, all around me,
I like the way you move
and do the foonky groove.
Like a cold chardonnay
chilled for a day
You’re smooth and crisp and on
display
Like Cartier, Armani, like TAG,
Gucci, Verasce.
In the middle of the night you are a
kiss so long.
You’re the only good thing when
all is wrong.
You’re a magic time reversal clock.
Your’re the fries on the side with a
cherry on top.
You’re sleek, velvet, gold lame,
Patent leather, enchante.
You’re a legend, you are a glamour
queen
God, I’m running out of words but
you know what I mean…
All around me I want you.
All around me
I need you. All around me I want you,
So can’t you hear me say?
I want your arms all around me,
I want your face yeah, all around me,
I like the way you move
and do the foonky groove.
So slide into your Jaguar, or
Porsche baby, there you are.
Well chop chop darling au revir.
Pick your things yo you’re a star.

by Brandy
from the album Full Moon

[VERSE 1]
I didn’t want to have to say this to you
It’s not that I don’t love you
I just can’t be explaining to everyone why you hurt me
That’s why I want to keep us between you and me
You’d understand if you were treated like me
It’s not that people run me
But they can see when I am hurtin’
They know it’s not me
So don’t make me the blame
You need to change
[B-SECTION]
You say later, you’re not ready
To make a commitment to me
It will take some time
Should’ve known before we started
You act one way when you are around me
When we are in public you are so different
I know that you treat me bad
But I can’t get away
Let’s just keep it undercover
I don’t wanna be embarrassed so
[CHORUS (two times)]
I don’t want anybody to know
Didn’t we decide that
We don’t want anybody to know
What we do when we’re alone
We don’t want anybody to know
[VERSE 2]
I know that people would never understand me
‘Cause they can only judge whatever they see
And I know what they’ll say if they look at me
If I had all the answers to what they would ask
Still they wouldn’t realize the love that we have
So now I have to deal with living secretly
‘Cause to me love is worthless with no you and me
And it should be clear how I ride for you but
[B-SECTION]
[CHORUS]
[BRIDGE]
Tell me if I’ve made it clear to you
If you can’t understand this then maybe we need
To give up on each other until you believe
Everything we go through is all because of you
And you don’t have to do the things that you do
‘Cause I’ve been the same since we began
So bay, will you make a chance?
[CHORUS out]

by Get Up Kids
from the album Red Letter Day / Woodson

If I told you that I was thinking of moving east,
would you save a place for me?
I’ll come home cause it’s worse that I expected.
A place in my heart for my home to the west
where we’ll watch the same sunsets,
and when I doubt…
I’ll look east and lock my heart in a brass box
to newfound mass.
I’m breaking off but this is my home.
I’d do anything for you,
give you the world if I could.
Is that what you want me to do?
These bridges and boundaries are bringing me closer to you.
