New Edition - Can You Stand The Rain Video

On a perfect day
I know that i can count on you,
When that's not possible,
Tell me can you weather a storm
'Cause i need somebody who will stand by me,
Through the good times and the bad times
She would always, always be right there
 
chorus
Sunny days, everybody loves them,
(tell me baby)Can you stand the rain
Storms will come, this we know for sure
(this we know for sure)Can you stand the rain
 
Love unconditional,
I'm not asking just of you,
Got to make it last
I'll do whatever needs to be done
But i need somebody who will stand by me
When its tough she won't run
She would always be right there
 
chorus
Sunny days, everybody loves them,
(tell me baby)Can you stand the rain
(can you stand it ooh) Storms will come,
(this we know for sure) Can you stand the rain
 
(Ricky Bell ad lib....)
I know, I know all the days won't be perfect,
But can you stand it, can you stand the rain..
 
(Ralph T)
Can you stand the rain...
 
(Ricky B)
No pressure, no pressure
From me baby
Cuz I want you, cuz I need you
Cuz I love you baby...et al.
 
(Build up)....
Let's go get wet.....

Mary J. Blige - Don't Waste Your Time Lyrics

Mary J. Blige - Don't Waste Your Time Video

Lately I've got this funny feelin'
Somethin' don't feel the same
But he's tellin' me I'm the one to blame
Yes I know that he still gives me good lovin'
But when he's deep inside
There's somebody else on his mind
 
Don't waste your time
But it gets so hard to know
Just walk away
You say that I gotta let go
Seen it a million times before
You shouldn't take his stuff no more
 
Can't waste my time
Girl, it's not hard to know
Should walk away
Yeah, you've gotta let him go
Seen it a million times before
Shouldn't take his s*** no more
 
Sister girl, sister girl
It's much deeper than what you're thinkin'
When somethin' don't feel the same
You better belive his love has changed
(Yeah, I been tellin' you)
And what your're tellin' me
('Cause it's been hurtin' me)
He's got a sweetie on the side
Stark naked truth and I never lie
 
Don't waste your time
But it gets so hard to know
Just walk away
You say that I gotta let go
Seen it a million times before
You shouldn't take his stuff no more
 
What's the point of love when you've got no trust?
What's the point of stayin' when you've seen enough?
What's the point of givin what he don't deserve?
He don't deserve it No, he don't deserve it!
 
What's the point of feelin' like there's nothin inside?
What's the point of sayin' that you still got your pride?
What's the point of givin what he don't deserve?
 
Don't waste your time
But it gets so hard to know
Just walk away
You say that I gotta let go
Seen it a million times before
You shouldn't take his stuff no more

Luther Vandross - So Amazing Lyrics

Luther Vandross - So Amazing Video

Love has truly been good to me
Not even one sad day
Or minute have I had since you've come my way
I hope you know I'd gladly go
Anywhere you take me
 
It's so amazing to be loved
I'll follow you to the moon in the sky above
 
Got to tell you how you thrill me
I'm happy as I can be
You have come and changed my whole world
Bye bye sadness hello mellow
What a wonderful day
 
It's so amazing to be loved
I'll follow you to the moon in the sky above
 
And it's so amazing, amazing
I could stay forever, forever
I would leave you never, never
Cause we've got amazing love
Truly it's amazing, amazing
Love brought us together, together
I would leave you never, never
Cause we've got amazing love
 
So amazing and I've been waiting
For a love like you.
 
It's so amazing to be loved
I'll follow you to the moon in the sky above
 
(REPEAT TO FADE)

Janet Jackson - Escapade Lyrics

Janet Jackson - Escapade Video

As I was walkin' by, saw you standin' there with a smile;
Lookin' shy, you caught my eye thought you'd want to hang for a while...
Well, I'd like to be with you, and you know, it's Friday too;
I hope you can find the time this weekend to relax and unwind...

IMx - Pillow Lyrics

IMx - Pillow Video

I asked myself
How can I
Hurt someone that's by my side
Knowing how you would take me back
Beautiful girl from way off track
But leaving me blue
Has made me grow
I played myself I told you so
Its so hard for me to let you go
I page you now and let you know
 
(Chorus)
Some days I wish I was your pillow
And I know exactly how you feel
Every night you cry it rains on me (on your mind is where I want to be)
Some days I wish I was your pillow
And I know exactly how you feel
Every night you cry it rains on me (on your mind is where I want to be)
 
 
I know you deserve much better then me
With a little more time I'm sure I'll be
Ready for your responsibility
Me doing it now would just kiddin me
Now I'm the first to say that I'm wrong
Would of straighten up had I known
That rains days be so long in my heart was my only hope
 
(Repeat chorus)
Some days I wish I was your pillow
And I know exactly how you feel
Every night you cry it rains on me (on your mind is where I want to be)
Some days I wish I was your pillow
And I know exactly how you feel
Every night you cry it rains on me on your mind is where I want to be)

Eminem - Role Model Lyrics

Eminem - Role Model Video

Spoken:
Ok, I'm going to attempt to drown myself.
You can try this at home.
You can be just like me.
Mic check 1 2, we recordin'?
 
 
I'm cancerous, so when I diss you wouldn't wanna answer this
If you responded back with a battle rap you wrote for Canibus
I'll strangle you to death, then I'll choke you again
And break your fuckin' legs till your bones poke through your skin (Ahh)
 
You've beef with me, I'ma even the score equally
Take you on Jerry Springer and beat your ass legally
I get too blunted off of funny home grown
'Cause when I smoke out I hit the trees harder than Sonny Bono (Oh no!)
 
So if I said I never did drugs
That would mean I lie and get fucked more that the president does
Hillary Clinton tried to slap me and call me a pervert
I ripped her fucking tonsils out and fed her sherbert (bitch)
 
My nerves hurt, and lately I'm on edge
Grabbed Vanilla Ice and ripped out his blonde dreads (fucker)
Every girl I ever went out with is goin' les'
Follow me and do exactly what the song says
 
Smoke weed, take pills, drop outta school, kill people and drink
Jump behind wheel like it was still legal
I'm dumb enough to walk in a store and steal
So I'm dumb enough to ask a for date with Lauryn Hill
 
Some people only see that I'm white, ignoring skill
'Cause I stand out like a green hat with an orange bill
But I don't get pissed, y'all don't even see through the mist
How the fuck can I be white, I don't even exist
 
I get a clean shave, bathe, go to a rave
Die from an overdose and dig myself up out of my grave
My middle finger won't go down, how do I wave
And this is how I'm supposed to teach kids how to behave
 
Now follow me and do exactly what you see
Don't you wanna grow up to be just like me
I slap women and eat shrooms, then O.D.
Now don't you wanna grow up to be just like me
 
Me and Marcus Allen went over to see Nicole
When we heard a knock on the door (knock), must've been Ron Gold
Jumped behind the door, put the orgy on hold
Killed 'em both then smeared blood on the white Bronco (We did it!)
 
My mind won't work if my spine don't jerk
I slapped Garth Brooks out of his rhinestone shirt
I'm not a player just an ill rhyme-sayer
That'll spray an aerosol can up at the ozone layer (*psssssssh*)
 
My rap style's warped, I'm runnin' out the morgue
With your dead grandmother's corpse to throw it on your porch (*scream*)
Jumped in a Chickenhawk cartoon with a cape on
And beat up Foghorn Leghorn with an acorn
 
I'm about as normal as Norman Bates, with deformative traits
A premature birth that was four minutes late
Mother, are you there, I love you
I never meant to hit you over the head with that shovel (*evil laugh*)
 
Will someone please explain to my brain
That I just severed a main vein with a chainsaw and I'm in pain
I take a breather and sigh, either I'm high
Or I'm nuts, 'Cause if you ain't tiltin' this room, neither am I
 
So when you see your mom with a thermometer
Shoved in her ass, then it probably is obvious I got it on with her
'Cause when I drop this solo shit it's over with
I bought Cage's tape, opened it and dubbed over it
 
I came to the club drunk and with a fake ID
Don't you wanna grow up to be just like me
I've been with 10 women who got HIV
Now don't you wanna grow up to be just like me
 
I got genital warts and it burns when I pee
Don't you wanna grow up to be just like me
I tie a rope around my penis and jump from a tree
You probably wanna grow up the just like me

Dierks Bentley - How Am I Doin' Lyrics

Dierks Bentley - How Am I Doin' Video

It's strange to hear your voice
I did not expect for you to call
You wonder how I'm doin
How I'm holdin up
Since you did me wrong
 
(chorus)
Well how am I doin' since you did what you done to me?
I can't lie I sometimes cry when I think of how it used to be
I keep my friends with me, I stay busy and I don't get much sleep
Baby, that's how I'm doin since you did what you done to me
 
Well now wait one minute, I
Failed to mention
Those tears I cried, are tears of joy
Cause' it was no fun there
Under your thumb and
Now that we're done I'm
Gettin' ride every night
With every single ever-lovin' girl in sight, so
 
(chorus)
 
Well when all my friends heard what a
You know what you were they
Took me out on the town
But then I heard our song and
I dance along but
It felt all wrong cause'
She was sweet, she let me lead
She never took her ever-lovin' eyes off me so
 
(chorus)
 
Well I don't know what you were thinkin'
Runnin' round on me
Now you say you're sorry
Well honey I agree...so
 
How are you doin' since you did
What you done to me
Girl don't lie you know you cry
Cause' you know how good it used to be
Yeah, tell me does the thought of
Losin' my true love make it hard to sleep, baby
How are you doin' since you did
What you done to me
 
Yeah how are you doin', now that you know
How I'm doin since you did
What you done to me

Bon Jovi - Blood Money Lyrics

Bon Jovi - Blood Money Video

Hey Patty Garrett that's what I used to call you
They tell me you want me but I hear they've got you
They made you a lawman with a badge made of silver
They paid you some money to sell them my soul
 
But you say this ain't about me, this ain't about you
Or the good and the bad times we've both been through
When the lines between brothers and justice have changed
You do what you've got to cause you can't walk away
 
Never been rich
Never been poor
I have always been the same
Blessing or a curse
Depends on where your treasure is
Money comes
Money goes
Love eternal
 
I wonder what would have happened
If you were the killer
And I was the hero
Would things be the same
Or would I have traded
Your life for my own life
Would I have paid
Your debts in your place
 
But this ain't about me, this ain't about you
Or the good and the bad times we've both been through
When the lines between brothers and justice have changed
You do what you've got to cause you can't walk away
 
Blood money
That's what I call it
'Cause money for blood ain't no fair exchange
Blood money
Bought and then sold you
But your conscience is all you can take to your grave

Belle & Sebastian - If You're Feeling Sinister Lyrics

Belle & Sebastian - If You're Feeling Sinister Video

Anthony walked to his death because he thought he'd never feel this way again
If he goes back to the house then things would go from bad to worse, what could he do?
He wants to remember things exactly as he left them on that funny day
And if there is something else beyond, he isn't scared because
It's bound to be less boring than today
It's bound to be less boring than tomorrow
 
Hilary walked to her death because she couldn't think of anything to say
Everybody thought that she was boring, so they never listened anyway
Nobody was really saying anything of interest, she fell asleep
She was into S&M and bible studies
Not everyone's cup of tea she would admit to me
Her cup of tea, she would admit to no one
Her cup of tea, she would admit to me
Oh but her cup of tea, she would admit to no one
 
Hilary went to the Catholic Church because she wanted information
The vicar, or whatever, took her to one side and gave her confirmation
Saint Theresa's calling her, the church up on the hill is looking lovely
But it doesn't interest, the only things she wants to know is
How and why and when and where to go
How and why and when and where to follow
How and why and when and where to go
How and why and when and where to follow
 
But if you are feeling sinister
Go off and see a minister
He'll try in vain to take away the pain of being a hopeless unbeliever
La la la la la la la
 
When she got back, her spirituality was thrown into confusion
So she got a special deal on renting
From the man at Rediffusion
Look at me! I'm on TV
It makes up for the shortcomings of being poor
Now I'm in a million pieces, picked up for deliberation
By the people listening at home
By the people watching on the telly
By the people listening at home
By the people watching on the telly
 
But if you are feeling sinister
Go off and see a minister
He'll try in vain to take away the pain of being a hopeless unbeliever
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
But if you are feeling sinister
Go off and see a minister
Chances are you'll probably feel better
If you stayed and played with yourself

Backstreet Boys - Let The Music Heal Your Soul Lyrics

Backstreet Boys - Let The Music Heal Your Soul Video

Oh if someone writes a song with a simple rhyme
Just a song where is feeling show
And if someone feels the same about the simple song
Oh sometimes you can hear them sing
Music gives you happiness or sadness
But it also, it also heals your soul
 
Chorus:
Let the music heal your soul
Let the music take control
Let the music give you the power to move any mountain
 
Oh if someone plays piano with some simple chords
So melodic and endearing too
And oh if someone plays guitar with the old piano
And maybe you can hear them sing
Music gives you happiness or sadness
But it also heals your soul
 
Chorus
 
Oh yeah
Let the music heal you soul
Let the music take control
Let the music heal you soul
Oh, oh yes
 
Let the music heal your soul
Let the musice take control
