Taylor Swift - Back To December Lyrics

Taylor Swift - Back To December Video

I'm so glad you made time to see me
How's life? Tell me how's your family
I haven't seen them in a while
You've been good, busier than ever
We small talk, work and the weather
Your guard is up, and I know why
Because the last time you saw me
Is still burned in the back of your mind
You gave me roses, and I left them there to die
 
So this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night
And I go back to December all the time
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I'd go back to December, turn around and make it all right
I go back to December all the time
 
These days, I haven't been sleeping
Staying up, playing back myself leavin'
When your birthday passed, and I didn't call
And I think about summer, all the beautiful times
I watched you laughing from the passenger side
And realized I loved you in the fall
And then the cold came
The dark days when fear crept into my mind
You gave me all your love
And all I gave you was Goodbye
 
So this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night
And I go back to December all the time
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I'd go back to December, turn around and change my own mind
I go back to December all the time
 
I miss your tanned skin, your sweet smile
So good to me, so right
And how you held me in your arms that September night
The first time you ever saw me cry
Maybe this is wishful thinking
Probably mindless dreaming
But if we loved again, I swear I'd love you right
I'd go back in time and change it, but I can't
So if the chain is on your door, I understand
 
But this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night
And I go back to December...
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I'd go back to December, turn around and make it all right
I'd go back to December, turn around and change my own mind
I go back to December all the time
All the time

Suede - She's In Fashion Lyrics

Suede - She's In Fashion Video

She's the face on the radio
She's the body on the morning show
She's there shaking it out on the scene
She's the colour of a magazine
And she's in fashion
She's in fashion
 
She's employed where the sun don't set
And she's the shape of a cigarette
And she's the shake of a tambourine
And she's the colour of a magazine
And she's in fashion
And she's in fashion
 
Oh and if she tells you 2 is 1
Then 2 is 1 my love,
Oh and if she tells you, you should know,
Then you should know my love,
 
She is strung out on a TV dream
And she's the taste of gasoline
And she's as similar as you can get
To the shape of a cigarette
And she's in fashion
And she's in fashion

Sam Cooke - Cool Train Lyrics

Sam Cooke - Cool Train Video

Train with the lonely whistle
Goin' down the track
Train with the lonely whistle
Goin' down the track
Come on and bring your precious cargo
Bring my baby back
 
Train, you're huffin' and a blowin'
Because you work too fast
Listen to me train, you're huffin' a blowin'
Because you work too fast
Don't you know that you've got to take it easy
If you wanna last?
 
Listen to me train, take it nice and easy
When you go 'round them curves
Do that for me
Take it nice and easy
When you go 'round the curves
Now, don't shake up my baby
And don't upset her nerves
 
Train, gotta blow your whistle
Blow it loud and strong
Train, gotta blow your whistle
Blow it loud and strong
'Cuz I want the world to know that
Baby's comin' home

Rod Stewart - Leave Virginia Alone Lyrics

Rod Stewart - Leave Virginia Alone Video

Well I chased her down the alley
And over the hill to steal her will
She was as hot as Georgia asphalt
When the A crowd came to adore her brain
 
So leave Virginia alone
Leave Virginia alone
She's not like you and me
She's not like you and me
 
You should've seen her back in the city
Poetry and jewels, broke all the rules
She was as high as a Georgia pine tree
Makeup and pills, overdue bills
 
So leave Virginia alone
Leave Virginia alone
She's not like you and me
She's not like you and me
 
Some sunny day when the hands of time
Have had their way
You'll understand why it was so hard to run away
 
She's a loser she's a forgiver
But she still finds good where no one could
You ought to want her more than money
Cadillacs and rust diamonds and dust
 
So leave Virginia alone
Leave Virginia alone
She's not like you and me
She's not like you and me
 
So leave Virginia alone
Leave Virginia alone
She's not like you and me
She's not like you and me

Intro: Rick Ro$$
Ricky Ro$$.
It's somethin' special right here.
Excuse the marijuana, just tryin' to join myself.
We got some gangsta's in the house too. Come on!

Verse 1: Rick Ro$$
Sight seein' we might be in the codra port or that new white BM
Home from FAMU with a gorgeous face
Next semester she transfer to Florida state
Cookin' like home-etch for financial aid.
I highly doubt she has problems with financial aid.
Remember mean time my finance is straight
I even open up the doors to the panantial states, Boss
She used to fight with her moms
'Til I sat 'em both down
Now she's tight with her moms (what?)
Yeah I put the ice on her arm
Now she know she gettin' sliced
Spending nights in Milan (yeah)
We still blow... together
Cheated on her but we still gon' be together
With the house on the water hit the beach whenever
She's from the north & still can't believe there whether Boss.
 
Chorus: Avery Storm
I got a bunch of dollars
I can spend them on her
'Cause she can be my lady
She can be my lover
Call me on the late night
Get right he ain't actin' right
Every super woman needs a super man
Here I Am.
 
Verse 2: Nelly
Here I Am & here I go
Why you lookin' for that other when you got the best?
The previous was a test for you
Now you in the big leagues.
A black Sine brother who wouldn't wanna play for me?
Your last man was a chump
& you can tell him I said it
He was talkin' alot at first
But you can see that dead it
You can see I ain't sweat it
Hell I'll even call him myself
& tell him I dead it
Naw Please don't confuse me miss
I'm tryin' to see if I could put you on my Christmas list
I hope you ain't offended by this
But I think your ass fine as shit
& That's straight up real talk, all bullshit
Aside she replied
I Like To Do The Wild Thing
Action took place at my place
Now my place is her place.
 
Chorus: Avery Storm
I got a bunch of dollars
I can spend them on her
'Cause she can be my lady
She can be my lover
Call me on the late night
Get right he ain't actin' right
Every super woman needs a super man
Here I Am.
 
Verse 3: Rick Ro$$
Mo' better mo' cheddar not the man off your clothes last sweater (what)
Hoe getter gorilla fuck chuffers

I rock with Niggas like Fabolous
'Cause He tell the truth baby like Fabolous
But you make it look glamorous
Here's spaghetti strapped heals not for amateurs
Risk quite rocky, talk like foxy, job like roxy
Spark that broccoli walk quite aky
Let me sexy I will save you if you let me.
Fly with me, get high as me
Alot of alphabets girl I'm a G
Time will tell, Rolex watches
We show stoppers, hoes just watchin'.
 
Chorus: Avery Storm
I got a bunch of dollars
I can spend them on her
'Cause she can be my lady
She can be my lover
Call me on the late night
Get right he ain't actin' right

Randy Travis - Reasons I Cheat Lyrics

Randy Travis - Reasons I Cheat Video

A working day too long, when everything goes wrong
And a boss who don't know I'm alive
I once had a notion I'd get that promotion
But now I barely survive
 
A wife too demanding, with no understanding
Of why I stay dead on my feet
Adinly lit tavern, a willing youg woman
Are some of the reasons I cheat
 
My children keep growin'
My age keeps on showin'
Like all of my old friends I meet
So I'm gettig older
Ny life's growing colder
Just some of the reasons I cheat
 
The hair that i'm losing and a woman who's choosing
To lay sound asleep by my side
The bills they are mounting, that's when I start counting
On smoeone to help soothe my pride
A lady that knows me, affection she shows me
And a smile so easy and sweet
The dreams that I've buried, the load that I carry
Are some of the reasons I cheat
 
My children keep growin'
My age keeps on showin'
Like all of my old friends I meet
So I'm gettig older
Ny life's growing colder
Just some of the reasons I cheat

But it's all good watch me do this shit

Chorus R. Kelly
To all my players and my thugs, to the all the honeys in the club
To all the hoods that show me love, we ride, we ride
To all my ballers rocking ice, getting a room for the night
Taking first class flights, we ride, we ride
 
Noreaga
I used to be in Chitown and collect panties
When I'm in cabrini green you know I hit Sammy's
Thugged out yo my people giving eye jammies
Now them shorites say I'm cute when they can't stand me
R. Kelly yo I'm right from the belly you know the soul
Everything that we spit on is platinum gold
But now it's on the love all the players and the thugs
Yo it's a party going on meet me right at the club
We got some chickens in the living room getting it on
And they ain't leaving til six in the morning
Thugged out some people gettin' head while we on and
Tear the club up every time we performin'
Gun up in your waist please don't shoot up the place
Because this shorty right here lookin' good in my face
Ay yo it's so deep I told shorty just last week
Uh huh, it's like you remind me of my jeep
 
Chorus

OneRepublic - Good Life Lyrics

OneRepublic - Good Life Video

Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go
Little high, little low
Anyway the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me
To me
 
Mama, just killed a man
Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooh
Didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters
 
Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine
Body's aching all the time
Goodbye everybody, I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, ooh (Any way the wind blows)
I don't wanna die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all
 
I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango?
Thunderbolts and lightning, very, very frightening me
Galileo, Galileo
Galileo, Galileo
Galileo, Figaro
Magnifico (Oh, oh, oh, oh!)
I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?
Bismillah! No!
We will not let you go (Let him go!)
Bismillah! We will not let you go (Let him go!)
Bismillah! We will not let you go (Let me go!)
Will not let you go (Let me go!) (Never, never, never, never, never let me go!)
Will not let you go (Let me go!)
Oh, oh, oh, oh
No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
Oh, mamma mia, mamma mia
Mamma mia, let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me
For me
For me!
 
So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye?
So you think you can love me and leave me to die?
Oh baby, can't do this to me baby
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right out of here
 
Ooh
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
 
Nothing really matters,
Anyone can see
Nothing really matters, nothing really matters to me
 
Any way the wind blows

Offspring - Pay The Man Lyrics

Offspring - Pay The Man Video

See the way the wind blows.
Lives are intertwined.
Watch the way the world goes.
The man deals out our plight.
 
Jester in the corner
Laughs without a sound,
Jester in the corner...
Malady abounds
In our souls...
In our souls...
In our souls...
 
See the way the sun sets.
Twilight of this life.
The man is making little bets,
Playing with our lives.
 
All that I believe now,
Anything is possible.
A simple explanation
For the evil in this world
And in our souls...
In our souls...
In our souls...
In our souls...
 
Come down to sorry and sable
It's always the man
It's always been keeping you down!
 
Bow down cause I see it before me
Shadow and light
That always keeps you running
 
Shut up! You talk too much!
Pay the man now, yeah!
Shut up! You talk too much!
No! No! No!
 
Look at you and your struggle for freedom
But you ain't nothing
We all pay the man for living
 
Wouldn't it be nice for a change now
To be unchained?
My life is for me now
But this is life!
This is life!
This is life!
This is life!
Pay the man!
No!
Pay the man!
No!
 
Shut up! You talk too much!
Pay the man now, yeah!
Shut up! You talk too much!
 
Shut up! You talk too much!
Pay the man now, yeah.
 
My life is for me...

Nelly - My Place Lyrics

Nelly - My Place Video

I use to pride myself on bein' the other man
But now it's flipped and I don't want you with no other man
Why can't you understand that anything I'm offerin'
I gave you the world, but you just wanted arguin'
From the time I picked you up until the time I dropped you off again
Even flipped out on me at the mall again
It's all his fault again, that's what you're tellin' all ya friends
I ain't pointin' fingers ma, I just wanna call again

I heard your friend that told a friend that told a friend of mine
That you was thinkin' that we should do it one more time
If this ain't the truth, then hopefully it's not a lie
'Cause I ain't got no issues with hittin' that another time
We never had a problem gettin' it done
Disagreed upon a lot ma, but the sex wasn't one
And check it, I know you get excited (still) when I come 'round and bite it (girl)
Quit frontin' and quit actin' like you don't like it
 
I like it, I like it, I really, really like it
I want it, adore it, so come let me enjoy it
