Story of my life.....

Mike And The Mechanics-Taken In










Taken in, taken in again
Wrapped around the finger of some fair-weather friend
Caught up in the promises, left out in the end
No pride, taken for a ride
You say I'm the only one when I look in your eyes
I want to believe you but you know how to lie
And if you say you understand I don't believe it
And when you reach out for my hand I don't believe it
And if you say you take the blame I don't believe it
And if say that nothing's changed I don't believe it, don't believe it
Taken in, taken in again
Someone saw me coming, a fool without a friend
There's one born every minute and you're looking at him
And if you say you want me near I don't believe it
And when you're holding back the tears I don't believe it
And when you swear that you are mine I don't believe it
And it's your heart that's on the line I don't believe it, don't believe it
Taken in, taken in again
Wrapped around the finger of some fair-weather friend
Caught up in the promises, left out in the end
No pride, taken for a ride
You say I'm the only one when I look in your eyes
I'd love to believe you but you know how to lie
You say you want me near I don't believe it
And when you're holding back the tears I don't believe it
Oh, there's one born every minute, you're looking at him
Taken in, taken in again
Someone saw me coming, a fool without a friend
I want to believe you, oh
When you say you understand
When you reach out for my hand
Oh, I wish I could believe you
Taken in, taken in again

Cyndi Lauper-She Bop

Ain't no law against it...YET !!!









Well, I see 'em every night in tight blue jeans
In the pages of a Blueboy magazine
Hey, hey, I've been thinking of a new sensation
I'm picking up good vibrations
Oop, she bop, she bop

Do I wanna go out with a lion's roar?
Yeah, I wanna go south and get me some more
Hey, they say that a stitch in time saves nine
They say I better stop or I'll go blind
Oop, she bop, she bop

She bop, he bop, we bop
I bop, you bop, they bop
Be bop, be bop, a lu bop
(I hope he will understand)

She bop, he bop, we bop
I bop, you bop, they bop
Be bop, be bop, a lu she bop
Oh, she do, she bop

Hey, hey they say I better get a chaperone
Because I can't stop messin' with the danger zone
Hey, hey I won't worry, and I won't fret
Ain't no law against it yet
Oop, she bop, she bop

She bop, he bop, we bop
I bop, you bop, they bop
Be bop, be bop, a lu bop
(I hope he will understand)

She bop, he bop, we bop
I bop, you bop, they bop
Be bop, be bop, a lu she bop
Oh, she do, she bop, she bop

She bop, he bop, we bop
I bop, you bop, they bop
Be bop, be bop, a lu bop
(I hope he will understand)

She bop, he bop, we bop
I bop, you bop, they bop
Be bop, be bop, a lu she bop
Oh, she did it, she bop
Oh, she did it, she bop

This may sound crazy but I heard this in a dream last night. I'm single and not even close to dating anyone.
I was in the dream, conflicted between an ex and someone new.


Glenn Frey-The One You Love









I know you need a friend, someone you can talk to
Who will understand what you're going through
When it comes to love, there's no easy answer
Only you can say what you're gonna do

I heard you on the phone, you took his number
Said you weren't alone, but you'd call him soon
Isn't he the guy, the guy who left you cryin'?
Isn't he the one who made you blue? Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

When you remember those nights in his arms
You know you gotta make up your mind

Are you gonna stay with the one who loves you
Or are you goin' back to the one you love?
Someone's gonna cry when they know they've lost you
Someone's gonna thank the stars above

What you gonna say when he comes over?
There's no easy way to see this through
All the broken dreams, all the disappointment
Oh, girl, what you gonna do?

Your heart keeps sayin' it's just not fair
But still you gotta make up your mind

Are you gonna stay with the one who loves you
Or are you goin' back to the one you love?
Someone's gonna cry when they know they've lost you
Someone's gonna thank the stars above

Found this little nugget of Pop recently

Times Two-Strange But True










I, I've got the room upstairs from you
It's a room without a view
But, all that could change if I just get through
Up to you
And I keep my feelings to myself
I've never reached for someone else
But lately, I'm thinking how cold I've been
And now I begin to see that I should dare to fall
And with your help, tear down the walls

Chorus:
Strange but true
I think I've got a thing for you, yeah
Strange but true
I've really got a thing for you, yeah

So here I am with no disguise
You're not the only one who's surprised
But, something so simple could so long to be
Can't you see that opposites, they say attract
It's just a typical reaction

Chorus

I ain't gonna look much further now
And I ain't gonna try to reason how
'Cause, I know if this turns into love
Strange but true, it's good enough

Maybe I should dare to fall
And with your help take down these walls
Opposites, they say attract
It's just a typical reaction

Chorus x 3

Europe-Rock The Night











Oh-oh, yeah

I've gone through changes, I've gone through pain
But there's not enough reason for me to go insane
I know that feeling, just when it grows
I'm in a rage up from my head down to my toes

You know it ain't easy running out of thrills
You know it ain't easy when you don't know what you want
What do you want?
Whoa-oh-oh, you want to

Rock now, rock the night
'Til early in the morning light
Rock now, rock the night
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, yeah
Rock now, rock the night
You'd better believe it's right
Rock now, rock the night
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh

I know my limit, just what it takes
When things ain't good enough I just pull the brake
Sometimes it's easy, sometimes so tough
But just have one thing clear I can't get enough

You know it ain't easy running out of thrills
You know it ain't easy when you don't know what you want
What do you want?
Whoa-oh-oh, you want to

Rock now, rock the night
'Til early in the morning light
Rock now, rock the night
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, yeah
Rock now, rock the night
You'd better believe it's right
Rock now, rock the night
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Yeah, yeah

Oh, rock now, rock the night
Rock now, rock the night
Rock now, rock the night
Rock now, rock the night
Rock it!

Oh, you know it ain't easy running out of thrills
You know it ain't easy when you don't know what you want
What do you want?
Whoa-oh-oh, you want to

Rock now, rock the night
'Til early in the morning light
Rock now, rock the night
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, yeah
Rock now, rock the night
You, you'd better believe it's right
Rock now, rock the night
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Yeah!

Rock
Rock now, rock the night
'Til early in the morning light
Rock now, rock the night
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, yeah
Rock now, rock the night
You, you'd better believe it's right
Rock now, rock the night
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh

Whitesnake-Slide It In










You talk too much
Never saying what's on your mind
It's written on your face
And in the words you hide behind

I know what you want
I can see what you're looking for
I know what you want from me
And I'm gonna give you more

I'm gonna slide it in, right to the top
Slide it in, I ain't never gonna stop
Slide it in, right to the top
I'm gonna slide it in, slide it in, slide it in, in baby

Sometimes you seem
Just like a stranger to me
But all the games you play
Make it so easy to see

You're looking for love
Though you try to deny
The things you put me through
Tell me what I've got to do to you

I'm gonna slide it in, right to the top
Slide it in, I ain't never gonna stop
Slide it in, right to the top
I'm gonna slide it in, slide it in

You talk too much
Always treating me so unkind
I know what I've got to do
To get me some peace of mind

I'm gonna slide it in, right to the top
Slide it in, I ain't never gonna stop
Slide it in, right to the top
I'm gonna slide it in, slide it in

Slide it in, right to the top
Slide it in, I ain't never gonna stop
Slide it in, right to the top
I'm gonna slide it in, slide it in, slide it in
Slide it in, slide it in

Right to the top, baby

Every School Boys Dream !!!
Vixen-Edge Of A Broken Heart








I can't believe I could have been so blind
But love is strange
I thought about it for a long long time
But the truth remains

I don't need another lonely night
To dry my tears
The answer's plain as black and white
And I can see the picture very clear

I've been living on the edge of a broken heart
I don't wanna fall, I don't wanna crawl
I've been living on the edge of a broken heart
Don't you wonder why I gotta say goodbye

It isn't like you never had the chance
To change your tune
Did you think that I'm a dime a dance
Well, the dance is through

I've been doing things for way too long
Baby, that's over (baby, that's over)
It won't be easy but I gotta be strong
If I wanna cry I don't need your shoulder

I've been living on the edge of a broken heart
I don't wanna fall, I don't wanna crawl
I've been living on the edge of a broken heart
Don't you wonder why I gotta say goodbye

I'll find someone else
Who's nothing like you
Two can play the game as well
And you'll be sorry, baby
When it's over

I've been doing things for way too long
Baby, that's over (baby, that's over)
It won't be easy but I gotta be strong
And if I wanna cry I don't need your shoulder

I've been living on the edge of a broken heart
I don't wanna fall, I don't wanna crawl
I've been living on the edge of a broken heart
Don't you wonder why I gotta say goodbye

I've been living on the edge of a broken heart
I've been living on the edge of a broken heart
Don't you wonder why I gotta say goodbye
I've been living on the edge of a broken heart

Hazell Dean-Whatever I Do (Wherever I Go)
Thanks to youtube for making me aware of her. I don't think she was popular in the U.S.









I fight the night
To be alone has never frightened me
Behind the light
The shadow of your memory

Oh, who are you to turn the knife
I am not your sacrifice
Who are you when I can
Get you out of my life?

Bet you didn't know
That I would pack away my things and go
And now it's true
Gonna get along in spite of you

Don't want to hear your alibis
Don't want your part time compromise
Who are you when I can
Get you out of my life?

Whatever I do, wherever I go
I'm never coming back to you
Whatever you do, wherever you go
I'm gonna get over you

Whatever I do, wherever I go
I'm never coming back to you
Whatever you do, wherever you go
I'm gonna get over you

I stand alone
Another victim of your fantasies
I face the world, ooh
I'm searching for my destiny

Oh, who are you to tie me down
When you were not always around
Who are you when I can
Get you out of my life?

Whatever I do, wherever I go
I'm never coming back to you
Whatever you do, wherever you go
I'm gonna get over you

Whatever I do, wherever I go
I'm never coming back to you
Whatever you do, wherever you go
I'm gonna get over you, over you

Oh, who are you to turn the knife
I am not your sacrifice
Who are you when I can
Get you out of my life?

Whatever I do, wherever I go
I'm never coming back to you
I'm never commin' back, babe
Whatever you do, wherever you go
I'm gonna get over you, over you

Whatever I do, wherever I go
I'm never coming back to you
I'm never commin' back, babe
Whatever you do, wherever you go
I'm gonna get over you

Whatever I do, wherever I go
I'm never coming back to you
Whatever you do, wherever you go
I'm gonna get over you, over you

Whatever I do, wherever I go
I'm never coming back to you

Shake your love
I just can't shake your love

I'm under a spell again
Boy, I'm wondering why
This is not a game of love but an emotional tie

And smile when you walk by
And how I call you up at night
I hang up the phone and I cry
If I never got to know you so well (I knew you well)
Maybe I would be fine
Baby, you know that I can't tell
Why you should be (you should be) you should be mine oh

Shake your love

4 Skins-One Law For Them








Go to football, throw a brick
Get no mercy, months in nick
Riot in the ghetto, red alert
Guilty free, innocent hurt

We've been warned of rivers of blood
See the trickle before the flood
Pretend nothing happened, make no fuss
One law for them, one for us

Chorus
One law for them
One law for them
One law for them
And another law for us

One law for them
One law for them
One law for them
And another law for us

No fun, no home, no job, no use
What else is used as an excuse
Families fighting, familes looting
Next there's death, then there's shooting
Chorus

Riots in London, blame Old Bill
We've been lucky no ones killed
Violence on the streets, more to follow
Freedom for those freedom fighters

Chorus
