Lionel Richie - Penny Lover Lyrics

Lionel Richie - Penny Lover Video

The first time I saw you
Oh you looked so fine
And I had a feeling
One day you'd be mine
 
Honey you came along and captured my heart
Now my love is somewhere lost in your kiss
When I'm all alone it's you that I miss
Girl, a love like yours is hard to resist
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
 
Penny love don't you walk on by
Penny lover you're my one desire
Tell me baby now could this be true
That I can need someone
Like I need you
 
Nights, warm and tender
Lying next to you
Girl, I surrender
What more can I do
 
I spent all of my life
In search of your love
Now there's one more thing I'd like to say
Don't you ever take your sweet love away
Girl, I'd do anything just please stay
Oh oh oh oh oh
 
Penny love don't you walk on by
Penny lover you're my one desire
Tell me baby now could this be true
That I can need someone
Like I need you
 
I don't understand it
Oh what's come over me
And I'm not gonna worry
No, not anymore..
 
Cause when a man's in love he's only got one story
That's why my love is somewhere lost in your kiss
When I'm lost and alone it's you that I miss
Girl, a love like yours is hard to resist
 
Oh oh oh oh oh

Kimberley Locke - Change Lyrics

Kimberley Locke - Change Video

Sorry for what I forgot to say
But you know how words get in the way baby, lately
Wasn't strong enough to cut right through
All the red tape between me and you, baby
Time escapes me
 
What's it gonna take to shake these blues
Pushin' through the clouds just to get to you
Can't hold back the storm that's blowin' through, yeah
 
(Chorus)
 
I feel a change, babe
Washin' over me
I feel the rains, babe
Comin' to set me free
It's a one way track
 
Ain't comin' back
This trains about to leave
I feel a change comin' over me
 
Never noticed that it's kinda strange
Same story but a different day lately, baby
Gotta get up gotta change the scene
Gotta rip this page from the magazine
 
(Chorus)
 
I ain't tryin' to be difficult no, no
I ain't tryin' to be mean
I just gotta do right now
What's best for me, yeah
 
(Chorus)

India Arie - Complicated Melody Lyrics

India Arie - Complicated Melody Video

If he were a color
He'd be a deep dark forrest green
If he were a car
He'd be a long stretch limousine
With room for all of humanity inside
Cause he is so giving
And he is so wise
If he were a number
He'd be a five cause he has such a brilliant mind
If he were an animal
He'd be an ass cause he's so stubborn sometime
 
But if he were a song
He'd be a complicated melody
That complicated fellow he
I almost can not sing it on key
 
But he means the world to me
 
If he were a building
He'd be a beautiful cathedral
Cause he's so traditionally spiritual
If he were a dance
He'd be complicated like the tango
Exotic like a mango
 
But if he were a song
He'd be a complicated melody
That complicated fellow he
I almost can not sing it on key
 
But he means the world to me
 
He ain't the reason for the sun and the moon
He is just the reason for this here tune
 
Cause he means the world to me (ooh ooh)
Said he means the world to me
Me me me yeah
He means the world to me yeah
 
Complicated melody that complicated fellow he
He's a complicated melody
I almost can not sing it on key

Cartel - Honestly Lyrics

Cartel - Honestly Video

Please don't mind what I'm trying to say 'Cause I'm, I'm being honest
When I tell you that you
You're part of the reason I'm so set on the rest of my life
Being a part of you
You tell me what you think about being open,
About being honest with yourself
 
'Cause things will never be the same.
 
So I guess I'll see you, I'll see you around
I'm spinning while I'm falling down
Now you know why I'm begging you to stay
 
Well don't waste time getting to the point, 'Cause I'm, I'm patiently waiting
For your next phone call, your next excuse for losing sleep again
Tell me what you think about being open,
About being honest with yourself
 
'Cause things will never be the same
 
So I guess I'll see you, I'll see you around
I'm spinning while I'm falling down
Now you know why I'm begging you to stay
 
'Cause I can't stop it now
It's so amazing how
I know I cant, I could never walk away
 
How can we resolve this now
We let it go, and wonder how
This can never be the same
Can never be the same
 
So I guess I'll see you, I'll see you around
I'm spinning while I'm falling down
Now you know why I'm begging you, I'm begging!
 
'Cause I can't stop it now,
It's so amazing how,
I know I cant, I could never walk away.
 
Please don't mind what I'm trying to say, 'Cause I'm, I'm being honest.

Canibus - Buckingham Palace Lyrics

Canibus - Buckingham Palace Video

(Canibus)
Aiyo I stand outside the gates of Buckingham Palace selling reefer,
Puffing the chalice with the Beefeaters
Getting so high that whenever I drop shit
It'll land on the window of your aeroplane cockpit
Canibus with the hot shit, Crazy I. Click
Niggaz is bloody idiots thinking that they can stop this
I'll increase my strength, to a super human extent
Nigga your rhyme ain't worth sixpence
And if you can hear, smell, see, touch, and taste
Then you don't need six senses to feel me punch you in the face
From Brixton, to Clapham Common, my lyrics invade Europe
Like Joseph Stalin, and murder niggaz for rhyming
Spitting fire, with gasoline for saliva
As drunk as Lady Diana's driver wit reporters behind her
Alcohol in the hands of a minor
I got you panicking like bombs, with 30 second timers
Clear the building, evacuate women and children
Fuck what you feeling nigga, I came here to kill them
Straight shitting, from New York to Great Britain
And when we do shows we make the Queen pay admission, what!
 
Chorus: Canibus (and crowd)
 
When I say Can-I you say Bus
Can-I (BUS!) Can-I (BUS!)
Yo, when I say Can-I you say Bus
Can-I (BUS!) Can-I (BUS!)
 
(Canibus)
Yo.. yo..
Yo prepare for the worst This next verse is the face of death
Me without lyrics is like a porn flick without sex
Illmatic, my lyrical skills are Jurassic
With more flavour then Skittles when I'm digitally mastered
I go off like a cannon and blow up the planet
With No Fear, like them clothes white boys be wearing
I'm tougher than denim, lethal like venomous snake bites
The marijuana makes my eyes bright red like brake lights
There ain't a party I couldn't rock, believe that
There ain't a microphone brave enough to give me feedback
I'm strong, my word is Bond like James
Niggaz be trying to test, but they 'week' like seven days
MC's run away when I kick it; they act so chicken
They should come with a large drink and a biscuit
My style's radioactive, massive atomic
I plan to push the Earth in front of Halley's Comet
Breaking the Facts of Life down like Tudy, I'm raw like sushi
With more Vocab, than three fucking Fugees
So recognize or be hospitalized
Cause lyrically on a scale of one to ten I'm twenty-five
 
Chorus
 
(Canibus)
Yo, yo, a little bit of weed and some Hennessey
Got me ready to set it with kinetic energy
See I need much more energy then my enemies
If I wanna make more Bill's then Bellamy
So I could be on MTV with women constantly
Telling me I resemble Billy Dee
I make fly rhymes to get my name on the scene
Then when I'm on the scene I do shows to get the green
Then I take the green, buy a automobile machine
For that thing on page 43 in Jet Magazine
Canibus is the ultimate executioner's dream
Swinging the guillotine,
Cause whenever the head is severed from the human body with a sharp enough weapon
The brain remains conscious for ten seconds
Long enough for me to give you one last message
And when you get to Hell you can tell Lucifer I said it
Don't ever get it confused, fucking with Canibus
The human Rubik's Cube like you got something to prove
Yo, whoever grabs the mic after me will get booed
Get everything in the club thrown at you and your crew
From Moet bottles to bar stools, fruits and foods
You got a album out, you get hit with your CD too
Running outside, crying, lying, denying
That you ain't The Gay Rapper, but you got fucked by him
What's the difference? Y'all niggaz still ain't in lyrical fitness
Too busy mixing your business with your bitches
While I be in the lab composing forbidden scriptures
So wicked I got, Satan ejaculating on his fingers
Like Dirk Diggler, in the middle of 'Boogie Nights'
Sniffing white, living the hype, he ruined his life
But I'm a MC of a different type, yeah that's right
Make sure your shit is tight, or I'ma snatch your mic, nigga!
 
Chorus

Belinda Carlisle - In Too Deep Lyrics

Belinda Carlisle - In Too Deep Video

In Too Deep
I was high and dry
Don't ask me why
We took the wrong turn that day
Out on that long lonely highway.
The river was pounding below
And how we crashed, I'll never know
But suddenly I can't swim
So this is drowning...
 
Suddenly I'm in too deep
To ever get out
I gave you my heart and my soul to keep
Don't give me your doubts
I'm over my head
And it's scaring me so...
 
I'm in too deep
I'm in too deep
 
Thanks for the crash course
That ride upon your noble horse
Well we jumped the fence that day
And rode so far away...
Will I forever roam?
I only want to come home
So won't you throw me a line?
I think it's really time...
 
Suddenly I'm in too deep
To ever get out
I gave you my heart and soul to keep
Don't give me your doubts
I'm over my head
And it's scaring me so...
 
So have a little faith baby in where we're going to
Don't ask me where
You know I just can't tell you
All I know is I'm swept away
Taken by this undertow
Ooh, waves are crashing in
Baby, baby don't let me go, 'cos...
 
I'm in too deep
I'm in too deep
I'm in too deep
I'm in too deep

Bad English - When I See You Smile Lyrics

Bad English - When I See You Smile Video

Sometimes I wonder
How I'd ever make it through,
Through this world without having you.
I just wouldn't have a clue.
'Cause sometimes it seems
Like this world is closing in on me,
And there's no way of breaking free, and
Then I see you reach for me
 
Sometimes I want to give up,
Wanna give in, I wanna quit the fight,
And then I see you baby,
And everything's alright.
Everything's alright
 
Chorus:
When I see you smile
I can face the world
Oh you know I can do anything
When I see you smile
See a ray of light
Oh see it shining right through the rain
When I see you smile
Baby when I see you smile at me.
 
Oh yeah
 
Baby there's nothing in this world that could ever do
What the touch of your hand can do
It's like nothing
That I ever knew.
 
Hey
 
And when the rain is falling I don't feel it
'Cause you're here with me now I want to answer
Baby It's all I'll ever need.
It's all I'll ever need
 
Chorus:
When I see you smile
I can face the world
Oh you know I can do anything
When I see you smile
I see a ray of light
Oh I see it shining right through the rain
When I see you smile baby
Baby when I see you smile at me.
 
Sometimes I want to give up,
I wanna give in, I wanna quit the fight,
Then one look at you baby,
And everything's alright.
Hey Everything's alright so right
 
Chorus:
When I see you smile
I can face the world
Oh you know I can do anything yeah
When I see you smile
I see a ray of light
Oh I see it shining right through the rain Yeah
When I see you smile
Yeah I can face the world
Oh you know I can do anything now
When I see you smile, oh yeah baby
When I see you smile
 
Smile at me

Backstreet Boys - Don't Wanna Lose You Now Lyrics

Backstreet Boys - Don't Wanna Lose You Now Video

I never thought that I would lose my mind
That I could control this
Never thought that I'd be left behind
That I was stronger than you, baby
Girl if only I knew what I've done
You know, so why don't you tell me
And I, I would bring down the moon and the sun
To show how much I care
 
Don't wanna lose you now
Baby, I know we can win this
Don't wanna lose you now
No no, or ever again
 
I've got this feeling you're not gonna stay
It's burning within me
The fear of losing
Of slipping away
It just keeps getting closer, baby
Whatever reason to leave that I've had
My place was always beside you
And I wish that I didn't need you so bad
Your face just won't go away
 
Don't wanna lose you now
Baby, I know we can win this
Don't wanna lose you now
No no, or ever again
 
I never thought that I would lose my mind
That I could control this
Never thought that I'd be left behind
That I was stronger than you
Don't want to lose to loneliness
Girl I know we can win
Don't want to lose to emptiness, oh no
Never again
 
Don't wanna lose you now
Baby, I know we can win this
Don't wanna lose you now
No no, or ever again

Avenged Sevenfold - Afterlife Lyrics

Avenged Sevenfold - Afterlife Video

Like walking into a dream, so unlike what you've seen
So unsure but it seems, 'Cause we've been waiting for you
Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste
Of your afterlife here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway
 
I see a distant light
But girl this can't be right...
Such a surreal place to see
So how did this come to be?
Arrived too early
 
And when I think of all the places I just don't belong
I've come to grips with life and realize this is going too far
 
I don't belong here, we gotta move on, dear
Escape from this afterlife
'Cause this time I'm right, to move on and on
Far away from here!
 
Place of hope and no pain, perfect skies with no rain
Can leave this place but refrain, 'Cause we've been waiting for you
Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste
Of your afterlife here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway
 
This peace on earth's not right (with my back against the wall)
No pain or sign of time... (I'm much too young to fall)
So out of place, don't wanna stay
I feel wrong and that's my sign
I've made up my mind
 
Give me your hand but realize I just wanna say goodbye
Please understand I have to leave and carry on my own life
 
I don't belong here, I gotta move on dear
Escape from this afterlife
'Cause this time I'm right, to move on and on
Far away from here!
Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you
This place full of peace and light
And I'd hope you might, take me back inside
When the time is right!
 
Loved ones back home all crying 'Cause they're already missing me
I pray by the grace of God that there's somebody listening
Give me a chance to be that person I wanna be
(I am unbroken; I'm choking on this ecstasy!)
Oh Lord I'll try so hard but you gotta let go of me
(Unbreak me, unchain me, I need another chance to live!)
 
Aah!
 
I don't belong here, I gotta move on dear
Escape from this afterlife
'Cause this time I'm right, to move on and on
Far away from here!
Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you
This place full of peace and light
And I'd hope you might, take me back inside
When the time is right!
