Say, say, say what you want but don’t play games with my affection
Take, take, take what you need but don’t leave me with no direction

All alone I sit home by the phone waiting for you baby (baby)
Through the years how can you stand to hear my pleading for you dear?

You know I’m crying, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Yeah

Now go, go, go where you want but don’t leave me here forever
You, you, you stay away so long, girl, I see you never

You never ever worry and you never shed a tear
You’re saying that my love ain’t real

Just look at my face, these tears ain’t drying

You, you, you can never say that I’m not the one who really loves you
I pray, pray, pray every day that you’ll see things, girl, like I do

What can I do, girl, to get through to you
‘Cause I love you (love you) baby (baby)

Standing here baptized in all my tears, baby through the years
You know I’m crying

Looking through the lens of today’s pop psychology lingo, this girl’s an avoidant. Ask how I know...

What i'm listening to:

Say Say Say
Paul McCartney, Michael Jackson
Pipes of Peace

You bite my lip just for the taste
You’re on your knees, I’m on the case
You take the heat and with such grace
You say we’re done, but here you stay

You said you’re scared, I’ll let you down (I’ll let you down)
Just stick around, and you’ll find out (and you’ll find out)
But don’t you wanna make me proud? (So make me proud)
‘Cause I’m so proud, baby, I’m so proud of you

Do I stress you out? Can I help you out?
Does it turn you on when I turn you around?
Can we make a scene? (Scene), can you make it loud? (Loud)
‘Cause I’m so proud, baby, I’m so proud of you

I like the way you kiss me, I can tell you miss me
I can tell it hits, hits, hits, hits
Not tryna be romantic, I’ll hit it from the back
Just so you don’t get attached (‘tached, ‘tached, ‘tached)

What i'm listening to:

i like the way you kiss me
artemas
yustyna

Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

What i'm listening to:

Hurt
Johnny Cash
IV

Was it your lips?
Was it the sex?
That’s left the aftermath of you
Still pounding in my chest

This song I wrote for you
This song’s what got me through
This song’s the only weapon left
To get me over you
Lesson learned
Love ain’t fair
Even burned the bed we shared
This song’s in memory
In memory of when I cared

Our tears of joy
Raged like a flood
We made a vow we would stay together
Blood on blood

But I’m still here
Just like a ghost
Feeling your skin against my skin
That’s what’s killing me most

What i'm listening to:

In Memory (Of When I Cared)
The Bacon Brothers
Erato

I thought I saw a man brought to life
He was warm - he came around like
He was dignified
He showed me what it was to cry
Well you couldn’t be that man I adored
You don’t seem to know - don’t seem to care
What your heart is for
No I don’t know him anymore

So I guess the fortune teller’s right
I should have seen just what was there
And not some holy light
But you crawled beneath my veins
And now I don’t care
I have no luck
I don’t miss it all that much
There’s just so many things
That I can’t touch

There’s nothing where he used to lie
My conversation has run dry
That’s what is goin’ on
Nothin’s right

I’m torn
I’m all out of faith
This is how I feel
I’m cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
I’m wide awake
And I can see the perfect sky is torn
You’re a little late
I’m already torn

One may bask at the warm fire of faith or choose to live in the bleak uncertainty of reason — but one cannot have both.

What i'm listening to:

Torn
Natalie Imbruglia
Left of the Middle

Our paths may never cross again
Maybe my heart will never mend
But I'm glad for all the good times
Cause you've brought me so much sunshine
And love was the best it's ever been

They say that all good things must end
Loves comes and goes just like the wind
You've got your dreams to follow
But if I had the chance tomorrow
You know I'd do it all again

I wouldn't have missed it for the world
Wouldn't have missed loving you girl (ooh, ooh, ooh)
You've made my whole life worth while
With your smile
I wouldn't trade one memory
'Cause you mean too much to me (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Even though I lost you girl
I wouldn't have missed it for the world

What i'm listening to:

I Wouldn't Have Missed It...
Ronnie Milsap
There's No Gettin' Over Me

If you believe in the power of magic
It's all a fantasy
So if you need to believe in someone
Just pretend it's me
It ain't enough that we meet as strangers
I can't set you free
So will you turn your back forever on what you mean to me?

Don't answer me, don't break the silence
Don't let me win
Don't answer me, stay on your island
Don't let me in

Run away and hide from everyone
Can you change the things we've said and done?

What i'm listening to:

Don’t Answer Me
The Alan Parsons Project
Ammonia Avenue

Looking into your eyes
I know I'm right
If there's anything worth my love
It's worth a fight

We only get one chance
And nothing ties our hands
You're what I want, listen to me
Nothing I want's out of my reach

Heaven helps the man who fights his fear
Love's the only thing that keeps me here
(I'm free)
You're the reason that I'm hanging on
My heart's staying where my heart belongs
(I'm free)

Running away will never make you free
And nothing we sign is any kind of guarantee

I wanna hold you now
I won't hold you down
Shaking the past
Making my breaks
Taking control
That's what it takes

What i'm listening to:

I’m Free (Heaven Helps the Man)
Kenny Loggins
Footloose

I'm not here for your entertainment,
You don't really want to mess with me tonight.
Just stop and take a second,
I was fine before you walked into my life.
