The other day, I posted something in another thread where I asked members what was the first word that popped into their head when they saw/heard the word "cheap"?
My first response was from
Whoknows and his reply was "perfume". That phrase, cheap perfume, made me instantly think of Journey's DON'T STOP BELIEVING. The post went in a different direction from what I planned but it was so much fun! Example, there were other responses to the word "cheap" that included shoddy, floozy and several more and
huxley999 was able to cite songs with those words in them!
Let's pick a RANDOM word and see if a song comes to mind. My guess is not every word will trigger a song to pop into our heads, but who knows. If you would kindly post a few lines of the song that reflects "the word", the name of the song and the artist and if you like, a YouTube link to the song. PLEASE ATTACH YOUR SONG TO THE PARTICULAR "WORD OF THE DAY".
Let's have some musical fun!

Where is the spring and the summer
That once was yours and mine?
Where did it go?
I just don't know
But still, my love for you will live forever
Hasta Mañana till we MEET again
Don't know where, don't know when
Darling, our love was much too strong to die
We'll find a way to face a new tomorrow
Hasta Mañana, say we'll meet again
I can't do without you
Time to forget, send me a letter
Say you forgive, the sooner the better
Hasta Mañana, baby
Hasta Mañana, until then
Where is the dream we were dreaming
And all the nights we shared?
Where did they go?
I just don't know
And I can't tell you just how much I miss you
Hasta Mañana till we meet again
Don't know where, don't know when
Darling, our love was much too strong to die
We'll find a way to face a new tomorrow
Hasta Mañana, say we'll meet again
I can't do without you
Time to forget, send me a letter
Say you forgive, the sooner the better
Hasta Mañana, baby
Hasta Mañana, until then
Hasta Mañana, say we'll meet again
I can't do without you
Time to forget, send me a letter
Say you forgive, the sooner the better
Hasta Mañana, baby
Hasta Mañana, until then

[Intro]
Venus must have heard my plea
She has sent someone along for me
[Verse 1]
I have waited a long, long time
For somebody to call mine
And at last he's come along
Baby, oh nothing can go wrong
[Chorus]
We MEET every night at eight
And I don't get home 'til late
I say to myself each day
Baby, oh long, long live love
[Verse 2]
True love must be the greatest thing
I know now why singers sing
Of the moon and stars above
How I love to be in love
[Chorus]
We meet every night at eight
And I don't get home 'til late
I say to myself each day
Baby, oh long, long live love
[Verse 3]
Now of one thing I'm more than sure
Since love's come I don't want more
Than to kiss him every night
Makes everything all right
[Chorus]
We meet every night at eight
And I don't get home 'til late
I say to myself each day
Baby, oh long, long live love
[Chorus]
We meet every night at eight
And I don't get home 'til late
I say to myself each day
Baby, oh long, long live love
Long, long live love

Let's say goodbye with a smile, dear
Just for a while dear we must part
Don't let this parting upset you
I'll not forget you, sweetheart
We'll MEET again
Don't know where
Don't know when
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day
Keep smiling through
Just like you always do
'Til the blue skies chase those dark clouds far away
And I will just say hello
To the folks that you know
Tell them you won't be long
They'll be happy to know
That as I saw you go
You were singing this song
We'll meet again
Don't know where
Don't know when
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day
And I will just say hello
To the folks that you know
Tell them you won't be long
They'll be happy to know
That as I saw you go
You were singing this song
We'll meet again
Don't know where
Don't know when
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day

Well, I tried to make it Sunday, but I got so damn depressed
That I set my sights on Monday and I got myself undressed
I ain't ready for the altar, but I do agree there's times
When a woman sure can be a friend of mine
Well, I keep on thinkin' 'bout you, sister golden hair surprise
And I just can't live without you, can't you see it in my eyes?
I've been one poor correspondent, and I've been too, too hard to find
But it doesn't mean you ain't been on my mind
Will you MEET me in the middle? Will you MEET me in the air?
Will you love me just a little? Just enough to show you care?
Well, I tried to fake it, I don't mind sayin', I just can't make it
Well, I keep on thinkin' 'bout you, sister golden hair surprise
And I just can't live without you, can't you see it in my eyes?
Now, I've been one poor correspondent, and I've been too, too hard to find

Well, I tried to fake it, I don't mind sayin', I just can't make it

I am your True Shepherd
I will lead you there
Beside still waters
Come and meet me in the middle of the air
I will meet you in the middle of the air
I will lay you down
In pastures green and fair
Every soul shall be restored
I will meet them in the middle of the air
Come and meet me in the middle of the air
Through the lonesome valley
My rod and staff you'll bear
Fear not death's dark shadow
I will meet you in the middle of the air
Come and meet me in the middle of the air (ooh)
With oil, I shall anoint you
A table shall I prepare (ooh)
Your cup will runneth over
Come and meet me in the middle of the air
I will meet you in the middle of the air
In my house you'll dwell forever
You shall not want for care
Surely goodness and mercy will follow you
Come and meet me in the middle of the air
I will meet you in the middle of the air
Come and meet me in the middle of the air

I Hope That I Don’t Fall In Love With You - Tom Waits
only registered users can see external links
One, two, three, four
Well, I HOPE that I don't fall in love with you
'Cause falling in love just makes me blue
Well, the music plays and you display your heart for me to see
I had a beer and now I hear you calling out for me
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you
Well, the room is crowded, people everywhere
And I wonder, should I offer you a chair?
Well, if you sit down with this old clown, take that frown and break it
Before the evening's gone away, I think that we could make it
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you
Well, the night does funny things inside a man
These old tomcat feelings you don't understand
Well, I turn around to look at you, you light a cigarette
I wish I had the guts to bum one, but we've never met
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you
I can see that you are lonesome just like me
And it being late, you'd like some company
Well, I turn around to look at you, and you look back at me
The guy you're with, he's up and split, the chair next to you's free
And I hope that you don't fall in love with me
Now it's closing time, the music's fading out
Last call for drinks, I'll have another stout
Well, I turn around to look at you, you're nowhere to be found
I search the place for your lost face, guess I'll have another round
And I think that I just fell in love with you
Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith
I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you
HOPE you guess my name
But what's puzzlin' you
Is the nature of my game
Stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the Tsar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank, held a general's rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you
HOPE you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, ah yeah
I watched with glee (whoo-hoo)
While your kings and queens (whoo-hoo)
Fought for ten decades (whoo-hoo)
For the gods they made (whoo-hoo)
I shouted out (whoo-hoo)
"Who killed the Kennedy's?" (whoo-hoo)
When after all (whoo-hoo)
It was you and me (whoo-hoo)
Let me please introduce myself (whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo)
I'm a man of wealth and taste (whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo)
And I laid traps for troubadours (whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo)
Who get killed before they reach Bombay (whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo)
Pleased to meet you (whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo)
HOPE you guess my name, oh yeah (whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo)
But what's puzzlin' you (whoo-hoo)
Is the nature of my game, ah yeah (whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo)
Get down, damn it
Pleased to meet you (whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo)
HOPE you guess my name, oh yeah (whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo)
But what's confusing you (whoo-hoo)
Is just the nature of my game, mm yeah (whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo)
Just as every cop is a criminal (whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo)
And all the sinners saints (whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo)
As heads is tails, just call me Lucifer (whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo)
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint (whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo)
So if you meet me, have some courtesy (whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo)
Have some sympathy, and some taste (whoo-hoo, woo-hoo)
Use all your well-learned politeness (whoo-hoo, woo-hoo)
Or I'll lay your soul to waste, mm yeah (whoo-hoo, woo-hoo)
Pleased to meet you (whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo)
HOPE you guess my name, oh yeah (whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo)
But what's puzzlin' you (whoo-hoo)
Is the nature of my game, mean it (whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo)
Get down
whoo-hoo
(Whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo) oh yeah, get on down
(Whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo) oh, yeah
yeah
(Whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo) aw, yeah! A-tell me, baby
what's my name, tell me, honey

ooh-hoo

(Whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo) whoo-hoo-hoo, whoo-hoo-hoo
(Whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo) whoo-hoo-hoo, oh yeah, whoo-hoo-hoo
whoo-hoo-hoo, oh yeah
(Whoo-woo, whoo-woo) oh, what's my name, a-tell me baby
(Whoo-woo, whoo-woo) what's my name, tell me, sweetie
(Whoo-woo, whoo-woo) a-what's my name, whoo-hoo-hoo

Many nights we prayed
With no proof, anyone could hear
In our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood
Now, we are not afraid
Although we know there's much to fear
We were moving mountains
Long before we knew we could, whoa, yes
There can be miracles when you believe
Though HOPE is frail, it's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achieve?
When you believe, somehow you will
You will when you believe
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Mm-mm, yeah
In this time of fear
When prayer so often proves in vain
Hope seems like the summer bird
Too swiftly flown away
Yet now I'm standing here
My hearts so full, I can't explain
Seeking faith and speakin' words
I never thought I'd say
There can be miracles
When you believe (when you believe)
Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill (mm)
Who knows what miracles you can achieve? (You can achieve)
When you believe, somehow you will
You will when you believe
They don't always happen when you ask
And can it easy to give in to your fears?
But when you're blinded by your pain
Can't see the way, get through the rain
A small but still, resilient voice
Says, "Help is very near, " oh (oh)
There can be miracles (miracles)
When you believe (boy, when you believe, yeah)
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill (hard to kill, oh, yeah)
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve (you can achieve, oh)
When you believe somehow you will (somehow, somehow, somehow)
Now, you will (I know, I know, know)
You will when you (when you)
Believe
You will when you (you will when you)
Believe
Just believe (believe)
Darling, just believe
You will when you
Believe

It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money, but, boy, if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live
If I was a sculptor, heh, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a traveling show
I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song, and this one's for you
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple, but now that it's done
I HOPE you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well, a few of the verses, well, they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on
So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do
You see, I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway, the thing is, what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple, but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

Once upon a time when we were friends
I gave you my heart, the story ends
No happy ever after, now were friends
Wish upon a star if that might help
The stars collide if you decide
Wish upon a star if that might help
What's it like to have loved and to lose her touch?
What's it like to have loved and to lose that much?
Well I HOPE and I pray that maybe someday
You'll walk in the room with my heart
Add and subtract but as a matter of fact
Now that you're gone I still want you back
Remembering, surrendering
Remembering that part
All of my heart
Spilling up pink silk and coffee lace
You hook me up, I rendezvous at your place
Your lipstick and your lip gloss seals my fate
Sentimental powers might help you now
But skip the hearts and flowers, skip the ivory towers
You'll be disappointed and I'll lose a friend
No I won't be told there's a crock of gold at the end of the rainbow
Or that pleasure and pain, sunshine and rain
Might make this love grow
But I hope and I pray that maybe someday
You'll walk in the room with my heart
Add and subtract but as a matter of fact
Now that you're gone I still want you back
Remembering, surrendering
The kindest cut's the cruelest part
All of my heart
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ohh, ooh, ooh
Yes I hope and I pray that maybe someday
You'll walk in the room with my heart
And I shrug and I say that maybe today
You'll come home soon
Surrendering, remembering
Surrendering that part
All of my heart
All of my heart

Well Jo'anna she runs a country
She runs in Durban and the Transvaal
She makes a few of her people happy, oh
She don't care about the rest at all
She's got a system they call apartheid
It keeps a brother in a subjection
But maybe pressure will make Jo'anna see
How everybody could have live as one
Oh, Gimme hope, Jo'anna
Hope, Jo'anna
Gimme hope, Jo'anna
'Fore the morning come
Gimme hope, Jo'anna
Hope, Jo'anna
Hope before the morning come
I hear she makes all the golden money
To buy new weapons, any shape of guns
While every mother in black Soweto fears
The killing of another son
Sneakin' across all the neighbors' borders
Now and again having little fun
She doesn't care if the fun and games she play
Is dangerous to everyone
Oh, gimme hope, Jo'anna
Gimme hope, Jo'anna
Gimme hope, Jo'anna
'Fore the morning come
Gimme hope, Jo'anna
Gimme hope, Jo'anna
Hope before the morning come
She's got supporters in higher places
Who turn their heads to the city sun
Jo'anna give them the fancy money
Oh, to tempt anyone who'd come
She even knows how to swing opinion
In every magazine and the journals
For every bad move that this Jo'anna make
They got a good explanation
Oh, gimme hope, Jo'anna
Gimme hope, Jo'anna
Gimme hope, Jo'anna
'Fore the morning come
Gimme hope, Jo'anna
Gimme hope, Jo'anna
Hope before the morning come
Even the preacher who works for Jesus
The Archbishop who's a peaceful man
Together say that the freedom fighters
Will overcome the very strong
I wanna know if you're blind Jo'anna
If you wanna hear the sound of drum
Can't you see that the tide is turning
Oh don't make me wait till the morning come
Oh, go give me hope, Jo'anna
Gimme hope, Jo'anna
Gimme hope, Jo'anna
'Fore the morning come
Gimme hope, Jo'anna
Gimme hope, Jo'anna
Hope before the morning come
Gimme hope, Jo'anna

Gimme hope, Jo'anna

A few stolen moments is all that we share
You've got your FAMILY and they need you there
Though I've tried to resist being last on your list
But no other man's gonna do
So I'm saving all my love for you
It's not very easy living all alone
My friends try and tell me find a man of my own
But each time I try, I just break down and cry
'Cause I'd rather be home feeling blue
So I'm saving all my love for you
You used to tell me we'd run away together
Love gives you the right to be free
You said be patient just wait a little longer
But that's just an old fantasy
I've got to get ready just a few minutes more
Gonna get that old feeling when you walk through that door
'Cause tonight is the night for feeling alright
We'll be making love the whole night through
So I'm saving all my love
Yes, I'm saving all my love
Yes, I'm saving all my love for you
No other woman is gonna love you more
'Cause tonight is the night that I'm feeling alright
We'll be making love the whole night through
So I'm saving all my love
Yeah, I'm saving all my lovin'
Yes, I'm saving all my love for you
For you
For you
My father sits at night with no lights on
His cigarette glows in the dark
The living room is still
I walk by, no remark
I tiptoe past the master bedroom where
My mother reads her magazines
I hear her call sweet dreams
But I forgot how to dream
But you say it's time we moved in together
And raised a FAMILY of our own, you and me
Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be
You want to marry me, we'll marry
My friends from college they're all married now
They have their houses and their lawns
They have their silent noons
Tearful nights, angry dawns
Their children hate them for the things they're not
They hate themselves for what they are
And yet they drink, they laugh
Close the wound, hide the scar
But you say it's time we moved in together
And raised a FAMILY of our own, you and me
Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be
You want to marry me, we'll marry
You say we can keep our love alive
Babe, all I know is what I see
The couples cling and claw
And drown in love's debris
You say we'll soar like two birds through the clouds
But soon you'll cage me on your shelf
I'll never learn to be just me first
By myself
Well O.K., it's time we moved in together
And raised a FAMILY of our own, you and me
Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be,
You want to marry me, we'll marry
We'll marry

This tired city was somebody's dream
Billboard horizons as black as they seem
Four level highways across the land
We're building a home for the FAMILY of man
And it's so hard whatever we are coming to
Yes it's so hard with so little time
And so much to do
Time running out for the FAMILY of man
One man to lead us with so much to say
Moving the mountains that got in our way
Prayer books and meetings to find a plan
Deciding the fate of the FAMILY of man
Memories replacing the loves that we've lost
Burning our bridges as soon as they're crossed
Factories built where the rivers ran
And time running out for the FAMILY of man

Well I'd rather see you dead, little BOY
Than to see you with another girl
You better keep your head, little boy
Or you won't last in my world
You better run for your life if you can, little boy
Hide your head in the sand, little boy
Catch you with another girl
That's the end, little boy
Well you know that I'm a wicked chick
And I was born with a jealous mind
And I can't spend my whole life
Trying just to make you toe the line
So you better run for your life if you can, little boy
Hide your head in the sand, little boy
Catch you with another girl
That's the end
Hmm
Let this be a sermon
I mean everything I've said
Baby, I'm determined
Cause I'd rather see you dead
You better run for your life if you can, little boy
Hide your head in the sand, baby boy
Catch you with another girl
That's the end
You hear me?
Well I'd rather see you dead, little boy
Than to see you with another girl
You better keep your head, little boy
Or you won't last in my world
You better run for your life if you can, little boy
Hide your head in the sand, little boy
Catch you with another girl
That's the end, little boy

So many friends that I happen to see have been steadily falling in love
Oh how I wish it could happen to me and I'm asking the stars up above
Won't you find me a BOY, just a nice looking boy
Who will show me the way, who will teach me to say
"I love you, yes I do", and who'll promise me too
That he'll always be true, so that I'll never be blue
I just wish for a gentle boy, someone who's sweet and kind
Just a nice sentimental boy, that's all that I'm really longing to find
So many friends that I happen to see have been telling me all about love
Oh how I wish it could happen to me is the only thing I'm thinking of
So I'll find me a boy, just a nice looking boy
Who will show me the way, who will teach me to say
"I love you, yes I do", and who'll promise me too
That he'll always be true, so that I'll never be blue
So I'll find me a boy, just a nice looking boy
Who will show me the way, who will teach me to say
"I love you, yes I do", and who'll promise me too
That he'll always be true, so that I'll never be blue
Soldier BOY,
Oh, my little soldier BOY ,
I'll be true to you.
You were my first love
And you'll be my last love.
I will never make you blue.
I'll be true to you.
In this whole world
You can love but one girl.
Let me be that one girl,
For I'll be true to you.
Wherever you go,
My heart will follow.
I love you so.
I'll be true to you.
Take my love with you
To any port or foreign shore.
Darling, you must feel for sure,
I'll be true to you.
Soldier boy,
Oh, my little soldier BOY,
I'll be true to you.
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight,
Carry that weight a long time
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
I never give you my pillow
I only send you my invitations
And in the middle of the celebrations
I break down
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time

I am just a poor BOY
Though my story's seldom told
I have squandered my resistance
For a pocketful of mumbles
Such are promises
All lies and jest
Still, a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest
When I left my home and my family
I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers
In the quiet of a railway station
Running scared
Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters
Where the ragged people go
Looking for the places only they would know
Lie-la-lie...
Asking only workman's wages
I come looking for a job
But I get no offers
Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue
I do declare there were times when I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there
Lie-la-lie...
Then I'm laying out my winter clothes
And wishing I was gone
Going home
Where the New York City winters aren't bleeding me
Leading me
Going home
In the clearing stands a boxer
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of every glove that laid him down
OR cut him 'til he cried out
In his anger and his shame
"I am leaving, I am leaving"
But the fighter still remains
Lie-la-lie...

Well, they say it's kinda frightenin'
How this younger generation swings
You know it's more than just some new sensation
Well, the kid is into losin' sleep
And he don't come home for half the week
You know it's more than just an aggravation
And the cradle will rock
Yes the cradle, cradle will rock
And I say rock on, ooh
Rock on
And when some local kid gets down
They try an' drum him outta town
They say "Ya coulda least faked it,
BOY", fake it, BOY (Ooh, stranger, BOY)
At an early age he hits the street
And winds up tired with who he meets
An' he's unemployed
(Unemployed) Oww
And the cradle will rock, ow!
And the cradle, the cradle will rock
An' I say rock on
Oh! Say, rock on
Have you seen Junior's grades
Ooh
Ow
And when some local kid gets down
They try an' drum him outta town
They say "Ya could've least faked it, BOY, faked it, BOY"
And so an early age he hits the street
'N winds up tired with who he meets
An' he's unemployed
His folks are overjoyed
And the cradle will rock
Yes the cradle, the cradle will rock
I say rock on
Hey! Rock on
Rock on
(Rock on) This ain't never been new, babe, child. Ow!
(Rock on) Wow! I said... Rock on
(Rock on) Rock on. Ooh!
Nobody on the road
Nobody on the beach
I feel it in the air
The summer's out of reach
Empty lake, empty streets
The sun goes down alone
I'm driving by your house
Though I know you're not home
But I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the BOYS of summer have gone
I never will forget those nights
I wonder if it was a dream
Remember how you made me crazy?
Remember how I made you scream
Now I don't understand what happened to our love
But babe, I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna show you what I'm made of
I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
I see you walking real slow and you're smilin' at everyone
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
Out on the road today, I saw a DEADHEAD sticker on a Cadillac
A little voice inside my head said, "Don't look back. You can never look back"
I thought I knew what love was
What did I know?
Those days are gone forever
I should just let them go but-
I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got that top pulled down and that radio on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the BOYS of summer have gone
I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got that hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on, baby
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the BOYS of summer have gone

No need to whine BOY
Like a wind up toy you stutter at my feet
And it's never the time boy
You've had too much wine to stumble up my street
Well it isn't a problem
Nothing we can't keep between the sheets
Tell me you're mine love
And I will not wait for other bedtime treats
Is there something you lack
When I'm flat on my back
Is there something that I can do for you?
It's always something you hate
Or it's something you ate
Tell me is it the way that I touch you?
Have you found a new mate
And is she really great
Is it just that I'm much too much for you?
Don't feed me a line boy
I can hear that voice you use upon the phone
And there's no need to be coy
That is something you can do upon your own
Well it isn't a problem
Nothing we can't solve so just relax
Am I on the wrong train love
And will I have to tie you to the tracks?
Is there something you lack
When I'm flat on my back
Is there something that I can do for you?
It's always something you hate
Or it's something you ate
Tell me is it the way that I touch you?
Have you found a new mate
And is she really great
Is it just that I'm much too much for you?
I really want you to

My baby, he don't talk sweet
He ain't got much to say
But he loves me, loves me, loves me
I know that he loves me anyway
And maybe he don't dress fine
But I don't really mind
'Cause every time he pulls me near
I just wanna cheer
Let's hear it for the BOY
Let's give the boy a hand
Let's hear it for my baby
You know you gotta understand
Oh, maybe he's no Romeo
But he's my lovin' one-man show
Oh, whoa-oa-oa
Let's hear it for the BOY
My baby may not be rich
He's watchin' every dime
But he loves me, loves me, loves me
We always have a real good time
And maybe he sings off key
But that's alright by me, yeah
'Cause what he does, he does so well
Makes me wanna yell

I hit the road out of nowhere
I had to jump in my car
And be a rider in a love game
Following the stars
Don't need no book of wisdom
I get no money talk at all
She has a train going downtown
She's got a club on the moon
And she's telling all her secrets
In a wonderful balloon
She's the heart of the funfair
She's got me whistling her private tune
And it all begins where it ends
And she's all mine, my magic friend
She says: Hello, you FOOL, I love you
Come on join the joyride
Join the joyride
She's a flower, I can paint her
She's a child of the sun
We're a part of this together
Could never turn around and run
Don't need no fortune teller
To know where my lucky love belongs,
Oh no
Cause it all begins again when it ends
And we're all magic friends
She says: Hello, you fool, I love you
Come on join the joyride
Join the joyride
Be a joyrider
I take you on a skyride
A feeling like you're spellbound
The sunshine is a lady
Who ROX you like a baby
She says: Hello, you fool, I love you
Come on join the joyride
Join the joyride

If you, if you could return
Don't let it burn, don't let it fade
I'm sure, I'm not being rude
But it's just your attitude
It's tearing me apart
Is ruining everything
I swore, I swore I would be true
And honey, so did you
So why were you holding her hand?
Is that the way we stand?
Were you lying all the time?
Was it just a game to you?
But I'm in so deep
You know I'm such a FOOL for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger?
Do you have to, do you have to, do you have to let it linger?
Oh, I thought the world of you
I thought nothing could go wrong
But I was wrong, I was wrong
If you, if you could get by
Trying not to lie
Things wouldn't be so confused
And I wouldn't feel so used
But you always really knew
I just wanna be with you
And I'm in so deep
You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger

"Daddy what's wrong?"

And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off (whoo-hoo-hoo)
Heartbreakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off (whoo-hoo-hoo)
Shake it off, I shake it off
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off (whoo-hoo-hoo)
Hey, hey, hey
Just think, while you've been gettin' down and out about the liars
And the dirty, dirty cheats of the world
You could've been gettin' down to this sick beat
My ex-man brought his new girlfriend
She's like, "Oh my God!" but I'm just gonna shake
And to the fella over there with the hella good hair
Won't you come on over, baby? We can shake, shake, shake (yeah)
Yeah, oh, oh
'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate (haters gonna hate)
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off (whoo-hoo-hoo)
Heartbreakers gonna break, break, break, break, break (mm)
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake (and fake and fake and fake)
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off (whoo-hoo-hoo)
Shake it off, I shake it off
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off
I, I, I shake it off (yeah), I shake it off (whoo-hoo-hoo)
Shake it off, I shake it off
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off (you got to)
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off
Neil Diamond
She was morning, and I was night time
I one day woke up
To find her lying beside my bed
I softly said, "Come take me"
For I've been lonely in need of someone
As though I've done someone wrong somewhere
But I don't know where
I don't know where, come lately
You are the sun, I am the moon
You are the words, I am the tune
Play me
Songs you sang to me
Songs you brang to me
Words that rang in me
Rhyme that sprang from me
Warmed the night, and what was right
Became me
You are the sun, I am the moon
You are the words, I am the tune
Play me
And so it was that I came to travel
Upon a road that was thorned and narrow
Another place, another grace
Would save me
You are the sun, I am the moon
You are the words, I am the tune
Play me
You are the sun, I am the moon
You are the words, I am the tune
Play me

This is the happy house -- we're happy here
In the happy house -- oh it's such fun
We've come to PLAY in the happy house
And waste a day in the happy house
It never rains
We've come to scream in the happy house
We're in a dream in the happy house
We're all quite sane
This is the happy house -- we're happy here
There's room for you if you say you do
But don't say no or you'll have to go
We've done no wrong with our blinkers on
It's safe and calm if you sing along
This is the happy house -- we're happy here in the happy house
To forget ourselves -- and pretend all's well
There is no hell
I'm looking through your window

… Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby baby
Baby, baby baby, be-be-be-be-be-be baby baby, baby
Baby baby baby
Come back, baby, I want to PLAY house with you
Well, you may go to college
You may go to school
You may have a pink Cadillac
But don't you be nobody's fool
Now baby come back, baby, come
Come back, baby, come
Come back, baby I want to play house with you
… Now listen and I'll tell you baby
What I'm talking about
Come on back to me, little girl
So we can play some house
Now baby come back, baby, come
Come back, baby, come
Come back, baby
I want to play house with you (oh let's play house, baby)
… Now this is one thing, baby
That I want you to know
Come on back and let's play a little house
And we can act like we did before
Well, baby come back, baby, come
Come back, baby, come
Come back, baby I want to play house with you (hit it)
… Yeah
… Now listen to me, baby
Try to understand
I'd rather see you dead, little girl
Than to be with another man
Now baby come back, baby, come
Come back, baby, come
Come back, baby, I want to play house with you
Oh, baby baby baby
Baby baby baby be-be-be-be-be-be baby baby baby
Baby baby baby
Come back, baby, I want to play house with you

If you worked a little harder
Then you'd have a lot more
So, the blame and the shame's on you
For being so damn poor
It ain't the price gouging
And it ain't the inflation
It ain't everyone above ya tryna make a buck from ya
And screwin' the whole congregation
I had that reduced lunch
I had the benefit cards
Never occurred to me to blame my family
For life being so damn hard
I should've paid attention
Back when I was in school
Then I could figure up the tax
I would know a lot of facts
I missed the class where they taught the rules
I was memorizing capitols
I was in the spelling bee
I must've missed the part
Where they taught the art of private equity
I was selling chocolate bars
I had a disorder
I was cuttin' up a frog
Got lost in the fog
Learnin' how to PLAY a recorder
If you only worked a little harder
If you worked a little harder, ah-ah
If you worked a little harder, ah, ah-ah
If you worked a little harder
Then you'd have a lot more
So, the blame and the shame's on you
For being so damn poor
It ain't the banks
And it ain't the taxes
It ain't the pay day loans and the high rent homes
And predatory fees and practices
Wave your dumb flag
Whatever it means
But you should ask yourself
When it comes to health
Are the poor really all that free?
If you worked a little harder
If you worked a little harder, ah-ah
If you worked a little harder, ah, ah-ah
If you worked a little harder
Then you'd have a lot more
So the blame and the shame's on you
For being so damn poor, yeah
