Lyrics to Nothing Compares 2 U :
[Originally by Prince (not Sinead O'Connor!)]

It's been seven hours and fifteen days
Since u took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since u took your love away
Since u been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing
nothing can take away these blues
`Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 u

It's been so lonely without u here
Like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me baby where did I go wrong
I could put my arms around every boy I see
But they'd only remind me, remind me of you

I went to the doctor n'guess what he told me
Guess what he told me
He said boy u better try to have fun
No matter what u do
But he's a fool
`Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 u

All the flowers that u planted, mama
In the back yard
All died when u went away
I know that living with u baby was sometimes hard
But I'm willing to give it another try
Nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 u
Nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 u
Nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 u

Lyrics to Ain't No Sunshine :
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
it's not warm when she's away
ain't no sunshine when she's gone
and she's always gone too long
anytime she goes away

wonder this time where she's gone
wonder if she's going to stay
ain't no sunshine when she's gone
and this house just ain't no home
anytime she goes away

and I know...
you don't leave those things alone
ain't no sunshine when she's gone
only darkness every day
ain't no sunshine when she's gone
this house just ain't no home
anytime she goes away
anytime she goes away
anytime she goes away

Lyrics to End Of The Road :
[Spoken:]
Darlin', You complete me.
But you make alot of asumptions, and when you
asume things you make an ass out of you and me.
Don't make an ass out of me.

We belong together
And you that I'm right
Why do you play with my heart?
Why do you play with my mind?
Said we'd be forever
Said it'd never die
How could you love me and leave me
And never say goodbye?

When I can't sleep at night without holding you tight
Girl, each time I try I just break down and cry
Pain in my head oh I'd rather be dead
Spinnin' around and around

[Chorus:]
Although we've come to the end of the road
Still I can't let go
It's unnatural, you belong to me, I belong to you

Girl, I know you love me
You just don't realize
You've never been there before
It's only your first time
Maybe I'll forgive you
One day maybe you'll try
We should be happy together
Forever you and I

Will you love me again like you loved me before
This time I want you to love me much more
This time instead just come to my bed
And baby just don't let me down

[Spoken]
Hey babe remember when we walked down to the beach and drank the 12er?
We were so wasted we passed out.
I got that narly sunburn, it was so ghetto
But ever since then you totally backin me, your bitchin' fully blazed of me
we've got a radical future infront of us, i'm so stoked.

come to the end of the road
Still I can't let go
It's unnatural, you belong to me, I belong to you
come yes we've come to the end of the road
Still I can't, I can't let go
It's unnatural, you belong to me, but we've come to the end of the road.

Lyrics to Hello :
I've been alone with you inside my mind
And in my dreams I've kissed your lips a thousand times
I sometimes see you pass outside my door
Hello, is it me you're looking for?

I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your smile
You're all I've ever wanted, (and) my arms are open wide
'Cause you know just what to say
And you know just what to do
And I want to tell you so much
I love you...

I long to see the sunlight in your hair
And tell you time and time again how much I care
Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow
Hello, I've just got to let you know

'Cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely, or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying
I love you...

Hello - I just got to let you know

'Cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely, or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying

HELLO

Lyrics to Where Do Broken Hearts Go? :
I know it's been some time
but there's something on my mind

You see
I haven't been the same since that cold November day.
We said we needed space
but all we found was an empty place

And the only things I learned is that I need you desperately.
So here I am and can you please tell me:

Where do broken hearts go
can they find their way home

Back to the open arms of a love that's waiting there?
And if somebody loves you
won't they always love you?
I look in your eyes and I know that you still care for me.

I've been around enough to know that dreams don't turn to gold

And that there is no easy way
no
you just can't run away.
And what we had was so much more than we ever had before

And no matter how I try
I can't get you off my mind.
So here I am
and can you please tell me:

Where do broken hearts go
can they find their way home

Back to the open arms of a love that's waiting there?
And if somebody loves you
won't they always love you?
I look in your eyes and I know that you still care for me.

And now that I am here with you I'll never let you go

I look into your eyes
and now I know
now I know:

Where do broken hearts go
can they find their way home
Back to the open arms of a love that's waiting there?
And if somebody loves you
won't they always love you?
I looked in your eyes and I know that you still care for me.
for me
yeah
yeah
yeah!

Lyrics to Different Drum :
You and I travel to the beat of a different drum
Oh can't you tell by the way I run
Evertime you make eyes at me
You cry and moan and say it will work out
But honey child I've got my doubts
You can't see the forest for the trees

So don't get me wrong, it's not that I knock it
It's just that I am not in the market
For a boy who wants to love only me
Yeah and I ain't saying you ain't pretty
All I'm saying is I'm not ready
For any person, place or thing
To try and pull the reins in on me

So goodbye, I'll be leaving,
I see no sense in crying and grieving
We'll both live a lot longer,
if you live without me

Lyrics to Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow :
Tonight you're mine completely
You give your love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow?

Is this a lasting treasure?
Or just a moment's pleasure?
Can I believe the magic of your sighs?
Will you still love me tomorrow?

Tonight with words unspoken
You say that I'm the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night meets the morning sun?

I'd like to know that your love
Is a love I can be sure of
So tell me now, and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow?

So tell me now, and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Will you still love me tomorrow?

Lyrics to Runaway :
As I walk along I wonder what went wrong
With our love, a love that was so strong
And as I still walk on I think of the things we've done
Together, while our hearts were young

I'm a-walking in the rain
Tears are falling and I feel the pain
Wishing you were here by me
To end this misery, I wonder
I wa-wa-wa-wa-wonder, why
Why-why-why-why-why
She ran away, and I wonder
Where she will stay
My little runaway
A-run-run-run-run-runaway

Lyrics to San Francisco :
If you're going to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you're going to San Francisco
You're gonna meet some gentle people there

For those who come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there
In the streets of San Francisco
Gentle people with flowers in their hair

All across the nation
Such a strange vibration
People in motion, people in motion
There's a whole generation
With a new explanation

All of those who come to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you're going to sneaky peepshows
Summertime is nice with wild wild hair

Lyrics to Stand By Your Man :
Sometimes it's hard to be a woman
Giving all your life to just one man
You'll have bad times, he'll have good times
Doing things that you don't understand
But if you love him, you'll forgive him
Even though he's hard to understand
And if you loved him
Oh be proud of him
Cause after all he's just a man

Stand by your man
Give him someone to cling to
And something warm to come to
When the nights are cold and lonely
Stand by your man
And tell the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can
Stand by your man

Sometimes its hard to be a Gimme
Giving all your love to just one band
But if you love them
Please don't make fun of them
'Cause after all we're just a band

"All My Lovin'" Ringtone to your Cell

Lyrics to All My Lovin' :
Close your eyes and I'll kiss you
Tomorrow I'll miss you
Remember I'll always be true
And then while I'm away
I'll write home every day
And I'll send all my loving to you

I'll pretend that I'm kissing
The lips I am missing
And hope that my dreams will come true
And then while I'm away
I'll write home every day
And I'll send all my loving to you

All my loving I will send to you
All my loving, darling I'll be true

All my loving I will send to you
All my loving, darling I'll be true

Lyrics to My Boyfriend's Back :
He went away and you hung around
And bothered me every night
And when I wouldn't go out with you
You said things that weren't very nice

My boyfriend's back and you're gonna be in trouble
(Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend's back)
When you see him coming, better cut out on the double
(Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend's back)

You been spreading lies that I was untrue
(Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend's back)
So look out now 'cause he's coming after you
(Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend's back)

Hey, he knows what you been trying
And he knows that you been lying

He's been gone for such a long time
(Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend's back)
Now he's back and things'll be fine
(Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend's back)

You're gonna be sorry you were ever born
(Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend's back)
'Cause he's kinda big and he's awful strong
(Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend's back)

Hey, he knows I wasn't cheating
Now you're gonna get a beating

What made you think he'd believe all your lies?
(Aah-ooh, aah-ooh)
You're a big man now but he'll cut you down to size
(Aah-ooh)
Wait and see!

My boyfriend's back, he's gonna save my reputation
(Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend's back)
If I were you, I'd take a permanent vacation
(Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend's back)

Hey, I can see him coming
Now you better start a'running
(Aah-ooh, aah-ooh)
(Aah-ooh)
Wait and see!

My boyfriend's back, he's gonna save my reputation

Well look out now, my boyfriend's back
Well, I can see him comin' so you better get a'running a'right now
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Lyrics to Elenor :
You got a thing about you
I just can't live without you
I really want you, Elenor, near me
Your looks intoxicate me
Even though your folks hate me
There's no one like you, Elenor, really

Elenor, gee I think you're swell
And you really do me well
You're my pride and joy, etcetera
Elenor, can I take the time
To ask you to speak your mind
Tell me that you love me better

I really think you're groovy
Let's go out to a movie
What do you say now, Elenor, can we?
They'll turn the lights way down low
Maybe we won't watch the show
I think I love you, Elenor, love me

Lyrics to Who Put The Bomp :
I'd like to thank the guy
Who wrote the song
That made my baby fall in love with me

Who put the bomp
In the bomp bah bomp bah bomp?
Who put the ram
In the rama lama ding dong?
Who put the bop
In the bop shoo bop shoo bop?
Who put the dip
In the dip da dip da dip?[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
Who was that man?
I'd like to shake his hand
He made my baby fall in love with me

When my baby heard
"Bomp bah bomp bah bomp bomp bomp"
Every word went straight into her heart
And when she heard them singing
"Rama lama lama lama ding dong"
She said we'd never have to part

Each time that we're alone
Sets my baby's heart all aglow
And everytime we dance to
Dip da dip dip dip
Dip da dip dip dip
She always says she loves me so

Lyrics to Wild World :
Now that I've lost everything to you
You say you wanna start something new
And it's breaking my heart that you're leaving
Baby I'm grieving
But if you wanna leave, take good care
Hope you have a lot of nice things to wear
But then a lot of nice things turn bad out there

Oh baby baby it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile girl
Oh baby baby it's a wild world
I'll always remember you just like a child girl

You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do
And it's breaking my heart in two
Because I never wanna see you a sad girl
Don't be a bad girl
But if you wanna leave, take good care
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware

Baby, baby I love you
But if you wanna leave take good care
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware

Lyrics to Sloop John B :
We come on the sloop John B
Grandfather and me
Around Nassau Town we did roam
Drinking all night
Got into a fight
Well I feel so broke up, I wanna go home

The first mate he got drunk
Broke in the captains bunk
The constable had to come and take him away
Sheriff John Stone
Why don't you leave me alone?
Well I feel so broke up I wanna go home

So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the captain ashore
Let me go home, let me go home
I wanna go home
I feel so broke up, I wanna go home

The poor cook he caught the shits
And threw away all my grits
And then he took and ate up all of my corn
Let me go home
Why don't they let me go home?
This is the worst trip I've ever been on

Lyrics to Blowin' In The Wind :
How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
And how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they are forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

How many years can a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea?
Yes, and how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

The answer, my friends, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

Lyrics to The Harder They Come :
[Originally by Jimmy Cliff]

Well they tell me about the pie up in the sky
Waiting for me when I die
But between the day your born and when you die
They never seem to hear even your cry

So as soon as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my shine out what's mine
And then the harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all
The harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all

Well the opus' are trying to keep me down
Trying to drag me underground
And they think that they have got the battle won
I say forgive them lord the do not what they've done

So as soon as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my shine out what's mine
And then the harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all
The harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all

Well I'll keep on fighting for the things I want
Though I know that when you dead you gone
But I'd rather be a free man in my grave
Then living as a puppet or a slave

So as soon as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my shine out what's mine
And then the harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all
The harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all
The harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all

Lyrics to Coming To America :
[Originally by Neil Diamond]

Far,
We've been traveling far
Without a home
But not without a star

Free,
Only want to be free
We huddle close
Hang on to a dream

On the boats and on the planes
They're coming to America
Never looking back again,
They're coming to America

Home
Don't it seem so far away
Oh, we're traveling light today
In the eye of the storm
In the eye of the storm

Home
To a new and a shiny place
Make our bed and we'll say our grace
Freedom's light burning warm
Freedom's light burning warm

Everywhere around the world
They're coming to America
Every time that flag's unfurled
They're coming to America

Got a dream to take them there
They're coming to America
Got a dream they've come to share
They're coming to America

They're coming to America
They're coming to America
They're coming to America
They're coming to America
Today, Today,Today,
Today, Today

My country 'tis of thee (today)
Sweet land of liberty (today)
Of thee I sing (today)
Of thee I sing.

Lyrics to Mother And Child Reunion :
no i would not give you false hope on this strange and mournful day but the mother and child reunion is only a motion away oh little darling of mine i can't for the life of me remember a sadder day i know they say to let it be but it just don't work out that way in the course of a lifetime runs over and over again [repeat chorus] oh little darling of mine i just can't believe it's so though it seems strange to say i never been laid so low in such a mysterious way and the course of a lifetime runs over and over again [repeat chorus] but the mother and child reunion is only a motion away but the mother and child reunion is only a moment away [repeat whole verse] only a moment away yeay, oh yeah

Lyrics to Mahogany :
[Originally by Diana Ross]

Do you know where you're going to
Do you like the things
that life is showing you
Where are you going to
Do you know

Do you get
What you're hoping for
When you look behind you
There's no open door
What are you hoping for
Do you know

Once we were standing still in time
Chasing the fantasies
That filled our minds
You knew I loved you
But my spirit was free
Laughin' at the questions
That you once asked of me

Do you know where you're going to
Do you like the things
that life is showing you
Where are you going to
Do you know

Do you get
What you're hoping for
When you look behind you
There's no open door
What are you hoping for
Do you know

Now looking back
at all we've planned
We let so many dreams
Just slip through our hands
Why must we wait so long
Before we'll see
How sad the answers
To those questions can be.

Lyrics to Sodomy :

Father, Why do these words sound so nasty?

Masturbation
Can be fun
Join the holy orgy

Everyone!

Lyrics to I Write The Songs :
[Originally by Barry Manilow]
I've been alive forever
And I wrote the very first song
I put the words and melodies together
I am music and I write the songs

I write the songs that make the whole world sing
I write the songs of love and special things
I write the songs that make the young girls cry
I write the songs, I write the songs[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

My home lies deep within you
And I've got my own place in your soul
Now when I look out through your eyes
I am young again even though I'm very old

[repeat chorus]

My music makes you dance and gives you spirit to take a chance
And I wrote some rock 'n' roll so you can move
Music fills your heart and that's a real fine place to start
It's from me, it's for you, it's from you, it's for me
It's a worldwide symphony

[repeat chorus]

Yeah! I write the songs that make the whole world scream!
I write the songs of love and special things
I write the songs that make the young girls cry
I write the songs, I write the songs

I am music (music) and I write the songs
Yeah

Lyrics to Country Roads :
Allmost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shanandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains
Growing like a breeze
Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia Mountain mama
Take me home Country Road
All my memories gather 'round her
Miner's lady, strangers to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine
Tear drops in my eye
Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia Mountain mama
Take me home Country Road
I hear her voice in the morning
How she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And driving down the road
I get a feeling that I should have been home
Yesterday Yesterday
Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia Mountain mama
Take me home Country Road
Take me home Country Road
Take me home Country Road
