Roxy Music - Same Old Scene Lyrics

Roxy Music - Same Old Scene Video

Nothing lasts forever
Of that I'm sure
Now you've made an offer
I'll take some more
 
Young loving may be
Oh so mean
Will I still survive
The same old scene?
 
In our lighter moments
Precious few
It's all that heavy weather
We're going through
 
When I turn the corner
I can't believe
It's still the same old movie
That's haunting me
 
Young loving may be
Oh so mean
Trying to revive
The same old scene
 
Young loving may be
So extreme
Maybe we should try
The same old scene
 
(repeat 3x to fade)
 
Nothing lasts forever
Of that I'm sure
Now you've made an offer
I'll take some more

Rascal Flatts - I Melt Lyrics

Rascal Flatts - I Melt Video

When you light those candles
Up there on that mantle, setting the mood
Well, I just lie there staring
Silently preparing to love on you
Well, I can feel the heat from across the room
Aint it wild what a little flame
Can make you wanna do
 
(Chorus)
I melt everytime you look at me that way
It never fails, anytime, any place
This burn in me is the coolest thing I've ever felt
I melt
 
Don't know how you do it
I love the way I lose it, everytime
Whats even better
Is knowing that forever you're all mine
The closer you get, the more my body aches
One little stare from you is all it takes
 
(Repeat Chorus Twice)
 
Evertime you look at me that way
I melt, I melt

Poison - Something To Believe In Lyrics

Poison - Something To Believe In Video

Well I see him on the TV
Preaching about the promised lands
He tells me believe in Jesus
Steals the money from my hands
Some say he was a good man
Lord I think he sinned.... yeah
 
Twenty two years of mental tears
Cries a suicidal Vietnam vet
Who fought a losing war
On a foreign shore
To find his country didn't want him back
Their bullets took his best friend in Saigon
Our lawyers took his wife and kids no regrets
In a time I don't remember
In a war he can't forget
He cried forgive me for what I done there
Cause I never meant the things I did
 
Chorus
And give me something to believe in
If there's a lord above
And give me something to believe in
Oh, lord arise
 
My best friend died a lonely man
In some Palm Springs hotel room
I got the call last Christmas Eve
And they told me the news
I tried all night not to break down n cry
As the tears rolled down my face
I felt so cold and empty
Like a lost soul out of place
And the Mirror mirror on the wall
Sees my smile it fades again
 
Chorus
And give me something to believe in (I give me something to believe in)
If there's lord above
And give me something to believe in (I give me something to believe in)
Oh, lord arise
 
Sometimes I wish to God I didn't know now
Things I didn't know then,
Road you gotta take me home
 
Solo
 
I drive by the homeless
Sleepin' on a cold dark street
Like bodies in an old bone grave
Underneath the broken old neon sign
Used to read Jesus saves
A mile away live the rich folk
And I see how they're livin' it up
But while the poor they eat from hand to mouth
The rich are drinkin' from a golden cup
And it just makes me wonder
Why so many lose and so few win... Ha!
 
Give me something to believe in
Give me something to believe in
If there's a lord above
Give me something to believe in
Oh lord arise
Give me something to believe in
You take the high road
Give me something to believe in
And I'll take the low road
Give me something to believe in
You take the high road
And give me something to believe in
And I'll take the low road
 
Yeah, sometimes I wish I didn't know now
Things I didn't know then... yeah.
 
And give me something to believe in

Phil Collins - In The Air Tonight Lyrics

Phil Collins - In The Air Tonight Video

I can feel it coming in the air tonight
Oh Lord
And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life
Oh Lord
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight?
Oh Lord, oh Lord
 
Well, if you told me you were drowning
I would not lend a hand
I've seen your face before, my friend
But I don't know if you know who I am
 
Well, I was there and I saw what you did
I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off that grin, I know where you've been
It's all been a pack of lies
 
And I can feel it coming in the air tonight
Oh Lord
Well, I've been waiting for this moment for all my life
Oh Lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight
Oh Lord
Well, I've been waiting for this moment for all my life
Oh Lord, oh Lord
 
Well, I remember
I remember, don't worry
How could I ever forget?
It's the first time, the last time we ever met
 
But I know the reason why you keep this silence up
No, you don't fool me
The hurt doesn't show, but the pain still grows
It's no stranger to you and me
 
I can feel it coming in the air tonight
Oh Lord
Well, I've been waiting for this moment for all my life
Oh Lord
I can feel it in the air tonight
Oh Lord, oh Lord
Well, I've been waiting for this moment for all my life
Oh Lord
 
I can feel it coming in the air tonight
Oh Lord
And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life
Oh Lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh Lord
Oh Lord, oh Lord
Well, I've been waiting for this moment for all my life
Oh Lord, oh Lord
I can feel it in the air tonight
Oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord, Lord
Well, I've been waiting for this moment for all my life
Oh Lord, oh Lord

Paula Abdul - Opposites Attract Lyrics

Paula Abdul - Opposites Attract Video

Baby seems we never ever agree
You like the movies
And I like T.V.
I take things serious
And you take 'em light
I go to bed early
And I party all night
Our friends are sayin'
We ain't gonna last
Cuz I move slowly
And baby I'm fast
I like it quiet
And I love to shout
But when we get together
It just all works out
 
I take--2 steps forward
I take--2 steps back
We come together
Cuz opposites attract
And you know--it ain't fiction
Just a natural fact
We come together
Cuz opposites attract
 
Who'd a thought we could be lovers
She makes the bed
And he steals the covers
She likes it neat
And he makes a mess
I take it easy
Baby I get obsessed
She's got the money
And he's always broke
I don't like cigarettes
And I like to smoke
Things in common
There just ain't a one
But when we get together
We have nothin' but fun
 
I take--2 steps forward
I take--2 steps back
We come together
Cuz opposites attract
And you know--it ain't fiction
Just a natural fact
We come together
Cuz opposites attract
 
Repeat Chorus
 
Baby ain't it somethin'
How we lasted this long
You and me
Provin' everyone wrong
Don't think we'll ever
Get our differences patched
Don't really matter
Cuz we're perfectly matched
 
Repeat chorus twice

Paramore - Hallelujah Lyrics

Paramore - Hallelujah Video

Somehow everything's gonna fall
Right into place
If we only had a way to make it all
Fall faster everyday
If only time flew like a dove
We gotta make it fly faster than I'm falling in love
 
This time we're not giving up
Let's make it last forever
Screaming Hallelujah
We'll make it last forever
 
Holding onto patience, wearing thin
I can't force these eyes to see the end
If only time flew like a dove
Well we could watch it fly
And just keep looking up
 
This time we're not giving up
Let's make it last forever
Screaming Hallelujah
We'll make it last forever
 
And we've got time
On our hands
(And we've got time) Got nothing but time on our hands
Got nothing but, got nothing but
Got nothing but time on our hands
 
This time we're not giving up
Oh, let's make it last forever
Screaming Hallelujah (Hallelujah)
Hallelujah

Olivia Newton-John - Shaking You Lyrics

Olivia Newton-John - Shaking You Video

(Gordon/Foster/Keane)
 
Why do I have to care for you?
When I should have known to stay away
Why was I there for you?
 
I don't know how I lost my touch
I never believed that I could ever want
Somebody's love so much
 
Time can shake me loose from the blues
But who would know I'd be this slow shaking you
 
I don't know what I'm looking for
I just let the arrows go and hope I find what I am shooting for
 
So don't say that you'll be there for me
If you don't care for me, I'll be gone
'Cause I don't have the strength to be this strong
Tell me all what to do
Who knew that I'd take so long shaking you
 
Now I'm waiting to hit the ground
I'm painting my love for you in corners I know I will get around
 
Time can shake me loose from the blues
But who would know I'd be this slow shaking you
 
I don't know what I'm looking for
I just let the arrows go and hope I find what I am shooting for

Nickelback - Someday Lyrics

Nickelback - Someday Video

How the hell'd we wind up like this,
And why weren't we able,
To see the signs that we missed?
And try to turn the tables
 
I wish you'd unclench your fists
And unpack your suitcase
Lately there's been too much of this
But don't think it's too late
 
Nothing's wrong
Just as long as you know that someday I will
Someday, somehow
 
I'm gonna make it alright
But not right now
I know you're wondering when
You're the only one who knows that
Someday, somehow
 
I'm gonna make it alright
But not right now
I know you're wondering when
 
Well I'd hope that since we're here anyway
That we could end up saying
Things we've always needed to say
So we could end up staying
 
Now the story's played out like this
Just like a paperback novel
Let's rewrite an ending that fits
Instead of a Hollywood horror
 
Nothing's wrong
Just as long as you know that someday I will
Someday, somehow
 
I'm gonna make it alright
But not right now
I know you're wondering when
You're the only one who knows that
Someday somehow
 
I'm gonna make it alright
But not right now
I know you're wondering when
You're the only one who knows that
 
How the hell'd we wind up like this,
And why weren't we able,
To see the signs that we missed?
And try to turn the tables
 
Now the story's played out like this
Just like a paperback novel
Let's rewrite an ending that fits
Instead of a Hollywood horror
 
Nothing's wrong
Just as long as you know that someday I will
Someday, somehow
 
I'm gonna make it alright
But not right now
I know you're wondering when
You're the only one who knows that
Someday somehow
 
I'm gonna make it alright
But not right now
I know you're wondering when
You're the only one who knows that
I know you're wondering when
You're the only one who knows that
I know you're wondering when

New Edition - Hear Me Out Lyrics

New Edition - Hear Me Out Video

I'm sorry, baby. I didn't mean to do what I did.
I mean, it just happened so fast, you know?
I woke up out of the situation.
And I was like, Mike, you don't even need to go out like this.
And that's why I'm calling you, you know?
Just listen to me.
 
Hear me out, girl. Hear me out, girl.
My apologies for breaking your heart.
Hear me out, girl. Hear me out, girl.
My apologies for breaking your heart.
 
Ooh, at home all alone thinking to my self
What a fool I was for letting you go (letting you go).
If I could re-wind the hands of time,
I'd take back every word that made you cry (don't cry).
 
I know I acted kind of crazy (I know I acted kind of crazy).
I need you now to understand me (please understand me).
 
Hear me out, girl. Hear me out, girl.
My apologies for breaking your heart.
Hear me out, girl. Hear me out, girl.
My apologies for breaking your heart.
 
Well, now is the time for us to realize how much we mean to each other, girl (to each other, girl).
Just don't walk away. That's much too easy.
I'm begging you to stay (stay).
 
I know I acted kind of crazy (I know I acted kind of crazy).
I need you now to understand me (please understand me).
 
Hear me out, girl. Hear me out, girl.
My apologies for breaking your heart. (You know I'll get down on my knees and say...)
Hear me out, girl. Hear me out, girl.
My apologies for breaking your heart...

Natalie Imbruglia - Wishing I Was There Lyrics

Natalie Imbruglia - Wishing I Was There Video

Take your hand
And place it in my pocket
Flick your eyes back in their sockets
Put those thoughts away
Sometimes they're much to loud
I'll take a breath
And cradle your sweet head
Should've stayed at home in bed
Put that face away
I'm melting for you
 
I know, I get cold
Cos I can't leave things well alone
Understand I'm accident prone
Me, I get free
Every night the moon is mine
 
But when the morning comes
Don't say you love me
Don't say you need me
I really don't think that's fair
Boy I'm not so dumb
But when you leave me
I'll be wishing I, wishing I, wishing, I was there
 
I dreamt about another girl in bed with you
You just laughed and smiled
Denied the proof
We're fine till I think of the problem
I wish it made sense
Like a joke that no one gets
It's a life without regret
I want to feel that way, forever and ever
 
I know, I get cold
'Cause I can't leave things well alone
Understand I'm accident prone
Me, I get free
Every night the moon is mine
 
But when the morning comes
Don't say you love me
Don't say you need me
I really don't think that's fair
Boy I'm not so dumb
But when you leave me
I'll be wishing I, wishing I, wishing I was there
I'll be wishing I, wishing I, wishing I was there with you
I'll be wishing I, wishing I, wishing I was there
I'll be wishing I, wishing I, wishing I was there with you
 
Don't say you love me
Don't say you need me
I really don't think that's fair
Boy I'm not so dumb
But when you leave me
I'll be wishing I, wishing I, wishing, I was there with you
I'll be wishing I, wishing I, wishing, I was there
I'll be wishing I, wishing I, wishing, I was there with you
I'll be wishing I, wishing I, wishing, I was there
I'll be wishing I, wishing I, wishing, I was there with you
I'll be wishing I, wishing I, wishing, I was there
I'll be wishing I, wishing I, wishing, I was there with you
