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!

What's your FLAVA
Tell me what's your flava (x4)
I met this fly girl in the club
Went by the name of pecan deluxe
This ice cream was high maintenance
When i took her out,
Nearly cost me 20 bucks
Met this chick named walnut whip
Nearly made me sick to the point of throwing up
So I called chocolate chip (that's me!)
Wit the sweet toffe crisp
And I still can't get enough
You're what I want
Your what I need (come on)
I want to taste ya (taste ya) take ya home wit me (ahhh)
You look so good
Good enough to eat
I wonder if I can peel your wrapper
I can be your fantasy
What's your flava
Tell me what's your flava (x4)
I take'em in the middle of July
With tha drop top down in the park
When it's summerin'
These ice creams lookin so fly
That I just can't lie
It all seems too bewildering
They got these grown men,
running round, screaming out, acting worse than children but...
flow better
know better
stack cheddar
get more tongue (Suga's gonna like this part... lol)
better than this ice-cream veteran
You're what I want
Your what I need (come on)
I want to taste ya (taste ya) take ya home wit me (ahhh)
You look so good
Good enough to eat
I wonder if I can peel your wrapper
I can be your fantasy
What's ya flava, Tell me what's ya flava...
Hey
I'm taking'em, apple and cinnamon
Girls, I'm feeling'em
Can't stop drippin'em
That's why they got me dribbling
Hot fudge sauce
And it's all on my Timberlands
I take them caramel
Wit a hint of vanilla
Wit a little chocolate sprinklings
They make me spend my dividends
These sweet things make me feel like a kid again
You're what I want
Your what I need (come on)
I want to taste ya (taste ya) take ya home wit me (ahhh)
You look so good
Good enough to eat
I wonder if I can peel your wrapper
I can be your fantasy
Tell me what's your flava!
Does your chewing gum lose it's flavour - Lonnie Donegan
only registered users can see external links
Oh me oh my oh you
Whatever shall I do?
Hallelujah,
The question is peculiar
I'd give a lot of dough
If only I could know
The answer to my question
Is it yes or is it no?
Does your chewing gum lose its FLAVOR
on the bedpost overnight?
If your mother says don't chew it,
Do you swallow it in spite?
Can you catch it on your tonsils,
Can you heave it left & right?
Does your chewing gum lose its flavor
on the bedpost overnight?
Here comes a blushing bride
The groom is by her side
Up to the altar,
Just as steady as Gibraltar
The groom has got the ring
And it's such a pretty thing
But as he slips it on her finger
The choir begins to sing:
Does your chewing gum lose its flavor
on the bedpost overnight?
If your mother says don't chew it,
Do you swallow it in spite?
Can you catch it on your tonsils,
Can you heave it left & right?
Does your chewing gum lose its flavor
on the bedpost overnight?
Now the nation rise as one
To send their wanted son
Up to the White House, yes,
The nation's only White House
To voice their discontent
Unto the Pres-I-dent
The bonny burning question,
What has swept this continent?
If tin whistles are made of tin,
What do they make fog horns out of?
Boom boom
Does your chewing gum lose its flavor
On the bedpost overnight?
If your mother says don't chew it,
Do you swallow it in spite?
Can you catch it on your tonsils,
Can you heave it left & right?
Does your chewing gum lose its flavor
On the bedpost overnight?
On the bedpost overnight
Hello there,
I love you and
The one who holds you tight!
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday, Friday, Sat'day night
On the bedpost overnight
A dollar is a dollar & a dime is a dime!
He'd sing another chorus
But he hasn't got the time
On the bedpost overnight, yeah!
This is how we do it
This is how we do it
This is how we do it
This is how we do it
It's Friday night
And I feel alright
The party is here on the West Side
So I reach for my 40 and I turn it up
Designated driver, take the keys to my truck
Hit the 'shaw [Crenshaw] 'cause I'm faded
Honeys in the street say, "Monty, yo! We made it!"
It feels so good
In my hood
Tonight
The summertime skirts and the guys in Kani
All the gang bangers forgot about the drive-by
You gotta get your groove on before you go get paid
So tip up your cup
And throw your hands up
And let me hear the party say
I'm kinda buzzed
And it's all because
(This is how we do it)
South Central does it like nobody does
(This is how we do it)
To all my neighbors
You got much FLAVOR
(This is how we do it)
Let's flip the track
Bring the old school back
(This is how we do it)
This is how we do it
All hands are in the air
And wave them from here to there
If you're an O.G. mack or a wanna-be player
You see the hood's been good to me
Ever since I was a lower-case G
But now I'm a big G
The girls see I got the money
Hundred-dollar bills y'all
If you were from where I'm from then you would know
That I gotta get mine in a big black truck
You can get yours in a '64
Whatever it is, the party's underway
So tip up your cup
And throw your hands up
And let me hear the party say
I'm kinda buzzed
And it's all because
(This is how we do it)
South Central does it like nobody does
(This is how we do it)
To all my neighbors
You got much FLAVOR
(This is how we do it)
Let's flip the track
Bring the old school back
(This is how we do it)
I'm kinda buzzed
It's all because
(This is how we do it)
South Central does it like nobody does, nobody does
(This is how we do it)
YNV, SCC
(This is how we do it)
All my homies
I'll never come wack
On an old school track
(This is how we do it)
Check it out!
Once upon a time in '94
Montell made no money
And life sure was slow
And all they said was 6'8" he stood
And people thought the music that he made was good
There lived a D.J
And Paul was his name
He came up to Monty
This is what he said
"You and OG are gonna make some cash
Sell a million records and we're making a dash."
Oh, I'm buzzing because
(This is how we do it)
South Central does it like nobody does
(This is how we do it)
To all my neighbors
You got much FLAVOR
(This is how we do it)
I'll never come wack
On an old school track
(This is how we do it)
I'm kinda buzzed
It's all because
(This is how we do it)
South Central does it like nobody does, nobody does
(This is how we do it)
Oh, it's party time
(This is how we do it)
Straight up coming from the West Side
(This is how we do it)
OG got the FLAVOR
(This is how we do it)
And Monty does it like nobody does it
(This is how we do it)
Come on now. Def Jam. You know what it
(This is how we do it)
...
(This is how we do it)

I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she would meet her connection
At her feet was her footloose man
No, you can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometime you'll find
You get what you need
I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she was gonna meet her connection
At her feet was her footloose man
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes, well, you might find
You get what you need
Ah, yeah
Oh
And I went down to the demonstration
To get my fair share of abuse
Singing, "We're gonna vent our frustration
If we don't we're gonna blow a fifty-amp fuse"
Sing it to me, honey
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes, well, you just might find
You get what you need
Ah baby, yeah
Ah
I went down to the Chelsea drugstore
To get your prescription filled
I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy
And, man, did he look pretty ill
We decided that we would have a soda
My favorite FLAVOR, cherry red
I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy
Yeah, and he said one word to me, and that was "dead"
I said to him
You can't always get what you want, well no
You can't always get what you want. I tell you, baby
You can't always get what you want, no
But if you try sometimes you just might find, uh, mm
You get what you need, oh yeah, woo!
Ah, woo!
You get what you need, yeah, oh baby
Ah yeah
I saw her today at the reception
In her glass was a bleeding man
She was practiced at the art of deception
Well, I could tell by her blood-stained hands, sing it
You can't always get what you want, yeah
You can't always get what you want, ooh yeah, child
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need, ah yeah
Ah baby, woo!
Ah, you can't always get what you want, no, no, baby
You can't always get what you want, you can't now, now
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find that you
You get what you need, oh yeah
Ah yeah, do that

The sweet, sweet memories you've given me
You can't beat the memories you've given me
Take one fresh and tender kiss
Add one stolen night of bliss
One girl, one boy, some grief, some joy
Memories are made of this
Don't forget a small moonbeam
Fold it lightly with a dream
Your lips and mine, two sips of wine
Memories are made of this
Then add the wedding bells
One house where lovers dwell
Three little kids for the FLAVOUR
Stir carefully through the days
See how the flavour stays
These are the dreams you will savor
With His blessings from above
Serve it generously with love
One man, one wife, one love through life
Memories are made of this
Memories are made of this

Her gaze hit the side of mine
So I opened it out
To destroy what you thought was difference
So I lied to you once again
So I painted over you once again
So I die before you once again
'What's the difference'
Come clearly where the FLAVOUR is
Seen here in black and white
You've got two seconds baby boy
In burning light white light
'What's the difference'
Clear up what you are
Burn out these eyes
Rip up this place and scream
'I am your slice of life' (four times)
Shivering under lamposts
Shivering under glass
Your standing on charisma again
God knows it cannot last
'What's the difference'
Ice inside your body
Blood inside your soul
Yet still twelve faces stand around
Hugging your skinny bones
'What's the difference'
So clear up what you are
Burn out these eyes, rip up this place and scream
'I am your slice of life' (four times)
And the car opened him up to so much more
And the money is brighter with a wider smile
And the problem expands inside your head
'I am your slice of life'

Lyrics
One, two
One, two, three, go
Don't get angry with me
I never caused you no pain
I won't be angry with you
But I can't see straight (yeah)
It hasn't rained for a month, the river's run dry
We haven't made love and I wanna know why
Why you angry me?
Why you angry?
Please just forget about me
Cancel out my name
Please never write to me
I love you just the same
I hear a melody ringing in my brain
Just keep the memories
Don't have to be ashamed
Don't get angry with me
I'm in a desperate state
I'm not angry with you
Don't you spit in my face
The wolf's at the door with the teeth and the claws
My mouth's getting sore, I can't take anymore
Why you angry with me?
Why you angry?
Voices keep echoing
Calling out my name
Hear the rain keep beating
On my window pane
I hear a melody ringing in my brain
You can keep the memories
Don't have to be ashamed
Don't get angry with me
Angry
Angry
Yeah, yeah (angry, don't be angry with me)
If we go separate ways
(Angry) yeah, don't get angry with me
Let's go out in a blaze
yeah
Don't you spite in my face
(Angry) oh
Don't get angry with me
Don't get, don't get
(Angry, don't be angry with me)
I'm still taking the pills and I'm off to Brazil
(Angry, don't be angry with me)
Please, don't be angry with me (angry, don't be angry with me)
Come on
Don't, don't, don't, no, no-no-no-no-no (angry, don't be angry with me)

As the snow flies
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
A poor little baby child is born
In the ghetto
(In the ghetto)
And his mama cries
'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need
It is another hungry mouth to feed
In the ghetto
(In the ghetto)
People, don't you understand
The child needs a helping hand
Or he'll grow to be an ANGRY young man some day
Take a look at you and me
Are we too blind to see?
Do we simply turn our heads
And look the other way
Well, the world turns
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
In the ghetto
(In the ghetto)
And his hunger burns
So he starts to roam the streets at night
And he learns how to steal
And he learns how to fight
In the ghetto
(In the ghetto)
Then one night in desperation
The young man breaks away
He buys a gun, steals a car
Tries to run, but he don't get far
And his mama cries
As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
In the ghetto
(In the ghetto)
And as her young man dies
(In the ghetto)
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
Another little baby child is born
In the ghetto
(In the ghetto)
And his mama cries
(In the ghetto)
(In the ghetto)
(Ah)

I've been trying for hours just to think of what exactly to say
I thought I'd leave you with a letter or firey speech
Like when an actor makes an exit at the end of a play
And I've been dying for hours trying to fill up all the holes with some sense
I'd like to know how you faded and you threw it away
I'd like to give you all the reasons and what everything meant
Well I could tell you good-bye or maybe see you around
With just a touch of a sarcastic thanks
We started out with a bang and at the top of the world
Now the guns are exhausted and the bullets are blanks
And everything's blank
If I could find the words then I would write it all down
If I could only find a voice I would speak
Oh it's there in my eyes so can't you see me tonight
c'mon and look at me and read 'em and weep
I've been whispering softly, trying to build a cry up to a scream
We let the past slip away, and put the future on hold
Now the present is nothing but a hollowed out dream
And I've been dying for hours trying to fill up all the holes with some sense
I'd like to know why you faded and you threw it away
I'd like to give you all the reasons and what everything meant
Well I could tell you good-bye or maybe see you around
With just a touch of a sarcastic thanks
But now the rooms are all empty, the candles are dark
The guns are exhausted and the bullets are blanks, and everything's blank
It's there in my eyes and coming straight from my heart
It's running silent and ANGRY and deep
It's there in my eyes and it's all I can say, c'mon and read 'em and weep
Read 'em and weep, for all the hours we'll be spending alone
Read 'em and weep, for the dreams we'll ignore
Running silent and deep,
And all those promises we promised to keep, they won't be kept anymore
Read 'em and weep, for the magic that our bodies had made
Read 'em and weep, for the blood that we lost
Running silent and deep, and all the secrets that we somehow betrayed
For whatever the cost
Read 'em and weep, for the memories still alive in the bed
Read 'em and weep, for the lies we believed
Running silent and deep, and all the things that can never be said
Why don't you look at me and read 'em and weep
c'mon and look at me and read 'em and weep
It's there in my eyes and coming straight from my heart
It's running silent and ANGRY and deep
It's here in my eyes and it's all I can say
c'mon look at me and read 'em and weep

Here we are
What is left of a husband and a wife
With four good kids
Who have a way of getting on with their lives
And I'm not old, but I'm getting a whole lot older everyday
It's too late to keep from going crazy
I've got to get away
The reasons that I can't stay don't have a thing to do with being in love
And I understand that loving a man shouldn't have to be this rough
And you ain't the only one who feels like this world's left you far behind
I don't know why you gotta be angry all the time
Our boys are strong now
The spitting image of you when you were young
I hope someday they can see past what you have become
And I remember every time I said I'd never leave
But what I can't live with is memories of the way you used to be
The reasons that I can't stay don't have a thing to do with being in love
I understand that loving a man shouldn't have to be this rough
And you ain't the only one who feels like this world's left you far behind
I don't know why you gotta be angry all the time
20 years have came and went since I walked out of your door
I never quite made it back to the one I was before
And God, it hurts me to think of you, 'fore the light in your eyes was gone
And sometimes I don't know why this old world can't leave well enough alone
The reasons that I can't stay don't have a thing to do with being in love
And I understand that loving a man shouldn't have to be this rough
And you ain't the only one who feels like this world's left you far behind
I don't know why you gotta be angry all the time
I don't know why you gotta be angry all the time
I don't know why you gotta be angry all the time
----------------------------------
So true.
If I could only have music by one artist it would be Elvis.
If you're down and confused
And you don't remember who you're talkin' to
Concentration slips away
'Cause your baby is so far away
Well there's a rose, in a fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you love, honey
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Don't be ANGRY, don't be sad
Don't sit cryin' over good times you had
There's a girl, right next to you
And she's just waiting for something to do
And there's a rose, in the fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you love, honey
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Turn your heartache right into joy
She's a girl, and you're a boy
So get it together, make it nice
You ain't gonna need, any more advice
And there's a rose, in the fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you love, honey
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with

Midnight, gettin' uptight, where are you?
You said you'd meet me, now it's quarter to two
I know I'm hangin' but I'm still wantin' you
Hey Jack, it's a fact they're talkin' in town
I turn my back and you're messin' around
I'm not getting jealous, don't like lookin' like a clown
I think of you every night and day
You took my heart, and you took my pride away
I hate myself for loving you
Can't break free from the the things that you do
I wanna walk but I run back to you
That's why I hate myself for loving you
Daylight, spent the night without you
But I've been dreamin' 'bout the lovin' you do
I'm over being ANGRY 'bout the hell you put me through
Hey man, bet you can't treat me right
You just don't know what you was missin' last night
I wanna see you beggin', say, "Forget it" just for spite
I think of you every night and day
You took my heart, and you took my pride away
I hate myself for loving you
Can't break free from the the things that you do
I wanna walk but I run back to you
That's why I hate myself for loving you
I think of you every night and day
You took my heart, and you took my pride away
I hate myself for loving you
Can't break free from the things that you do
I wanna walk but I run back to you
That's why I hate myself for loving you
I hate myself for loving you
Can't break free from the the things that you do
I wanna walk but I run back to you
That's why I hate myself for loving you
I hate myself (ow, uh)
For loving you
I hate myself (ow, uh)
For loving you
I hate myself (ow, ow, ow)
For loving you
I hate myself (ow)
I hate myself
For loving you

Don't know how to take it, don't know where to go
My resistance's running low
And everyday the hold is getting tighter and it troubles me so
You know that I'm nobody's fool
I'm nobody's fool and yet it's clear to me
I don't have a strategy
It's just like taking candy from a baby
And I think I must be
Under attack, I'm being taken
About to crack, defenses breaking
Won't somebody see and save a heart?
Come and rescue me now 'cause I'm falling apart
Under attack, I'm taking cover
He saw my track, my chasing lover
Thinking nothing's gonna stop him now
Should I want to, I'm not sure, I won't know how
Now this is getting crazy, I should tell him so
Really let my ANGER show
'Cause waiting at the answer to his questions is a definite blow
I'm kind of certain that's the truth
Guess I'm kind of flattered but I'm scared as well
Something like a magic spell
I hardly dare to think of what could happen
Where I'd be if I fell
Under attack, I'm being taken
About to crack, defenses breaking
Won't somebody see and save a heart?
Come and rescue me now 'cause I'm falling apart
Under attack, I'm taking cover
He saw my track, my chasing lover
Thinking nothing's gonna stop him now
Should I want to, I'm not sure, I won't know how
Under attack, I'm being taken
About to crack, defenses breaking
Won't somebody see and save a heart?
Come and rescue me now 'cause I'm falling apart
Under attack, I'm taking cover
He saw my track, my chasing lover
Thinking nothing's gonna stop him now
Should I want to, I'm not sure, I won't know how
Under attack, I'm being taken
About to crack, defenses breaking
Won't somebody see and save a heart?
Come and rescue me now 'cause I'm falling apart
Time, time and again
I've seen you starin' out at me
Now, then and again, I wonder
What it is that you see
With those ANGRY eyes
Well, I bet you wish you could
Cut me down with those ANGRY eyes
You want to believe that
I am not the same as you
I can't concieve, oh no
What it is you're tryin' to do
With those ANGRY eyes
Well, I bet you wish you could
Cut me down with those ANGRY eyes
What a shot you could be if
You could shoot at me
With those ANGRY eyes
You tried to defend that
You are not the one to blame
But I'm finding it hard, my friend
When I'm in the deadly aim
Of those ANGRY eyes
With those ANGRY eyes
Well, I bet you wish you could
Cut me down with those ANGRY eyes
What a shot you could be
If you could shoot at me
With those ANGRY eyes
You have never stopped to realize
Blindness binds us together in the foster skies
Can you see me through those ANGRY eyes?

She says, "It's not you, it's me
I need a little time, a little space
A place to find myself again, you know"
Oh yeah, I know a goodbye when I hear it
She smiles, but her heart's already out there
Walking down the street
She says, "I don't want nobody else, I love you"
She's LYING
"There won't be somebody else, and that's true"
She's lying
"Say you'll always be my friend, sweet darling"
Why does she pretend?
Ain't no doubt, it's plain to see
A woman like you's no good for me
Your heart beating at another door
I'm a darned fool for to ask for more (ask for more, ask for more)
She says, "It's like in a song, remember?
If you love somebody, set them free
Well, that's how it is with me, but you know I'll always come back"
And then she kisses me
And somewhere I hear a door slam, so I say, "Fine"
And just hope that I'm a better liar than she is
She says, "I don't want nobody else, I love you"
She's lying
"There won't be somebody else, and that's true"
She's lying
"Say you'll always be my friend, sweet darling"
Why does she pretend?
Ain't no doubt, it's plain to see
A woman like you's no good for me
Your heart beating at another door
I'm a darned fool for to ask for more (ask for more, ask for more)
Ain't no doubt, it's plain to see
A woman like you's no good for me
Your heart beating at another door
I'm a darned fool for to ask for more (ask for more, ask for more)
That's what I am
"I don't want nobody else, I love you"
She's lying
"There won't be somebody else, and that's true"
She's lying
"Say you'll always be my friend, sweet darling"
Why does she pretend?
Ain't no doubt, it's plain to see (I'm a fool)
A woman like you's no good for me (no matter how hard I try)
Your heart beating at another door (beating, beating, beating, beating)
I'm a darned fool for to ask for more (ask for more, ask for more)
That's what I am
Ain't no doubt, it's plain to see (fool that I am)
A woman like you's no good for me
Your heart beating at another door
I'm a darned fool for to ask for more (ask for more, ask for more)
But I still love you
Ain't no doubt, it's plain to see
A woman like you's no good for me
Your heart beating at another door
I'm a darned fool for to ask for more (ask for more, ask for more)
When you say goodbye

Now I'm lying here with Linda on my mind
And next to me, my soon to be, the one I left behind
And Lord it's killing me to see her crying
She knows I'm lying here beside her with Linda on my mind.
Yes I know that I once loved her
And I placed no one above her
And I never thought I'd ever set her free
But it just wasn't in my plan
The way Linda squeezed my hand
The first time that I held her close as she danced with me.
She said I've loved you for a long time
But you're married to a friend of mine
And I tried hard to never let it show
But my love for you is stronger
I can't hide it any longer
And so I thought I'd better let you know.
Now I'm lying here with Linda on my mind
And next to me, my soon to be, the one I left behind
And Lord it's killing me to see her crying
She knows I'm lying here beside her with Linda on my mind

If today was not endless highway
If tonight was not endless trail
If tomorrow wasn't such a long time
Then lonesome would mean nothing to me at all
Yes and only if my own true love was waiting
If I could hear her heart softly pounding
Only she was LYING by me
Then I'd lie in my bed once again
I can't see my reflection in the water
I can't speak the sounds that show no pain
I can't hear the echo of my footsteps
I can't remember the sound of my own name
Yes and only if my own true love was waiting
If I could hear her heart softly pounding
If only she was LYING by me
Then I'd lie in my bed once again
There's beauty in the silver singing river
There's beauty in the sunrise in the sky
But none of these and nothing else could match the beauty
That I remember in my true love's eyes
Yes and only if my own true love was waiting
If I could hear her heart softly pounding
If only she was LYING by me
Then I'd lie in my bed once again
If today was not an endless highway
If tonight was not endless trail
If tomorrow wasn't such a long time
Then lonesome would mean nothing to me at all
Yes and only if my own true love was waiting
If I could hear her heart softly pounding
If only she was lying by me
Then I'd lie in my bed once again
Yes i know this is a Dylan song but I read that Dylan was really very impressed with this version.
Here is the original though.

Water was running children were running
You were running out of time
Under the mountain, a golden fountain
Were you praying at the Lares shrine?
But oh your city lies in dust, my friend
Oh, oh your city lies in dust, my friend
We found you hiding we found you LYING
Choking on the dirt and sand
Your former glories and all the stories
Dragged and washed with eager hands
But, oh oh your city lies in dust, my friend
Oh oh your city lies in dust, my friend
Your city lies in dust
Water was running children were running
We found you hiding we found you lying
Water was running children were running
We found you hiding we found you lying
Your city lies in dust, my friend
Oh oh your city lies in dust, my friend
Hot and burning in your nostrils
Pouring down your gaping mouth
Your molten bodies blanket of cinders
Caught in the throes
Oh oh your city lies in dust, my friend
Oh your city lies in dust, my friend
Oh oh your city lies in dust, my friend
Oh your city lies in dust, my friend
Your city lies in dust, my friend
Oh your city lies in dust, my friend
City girls just seem to find out early
How to open doors with just a smile
A rich old man and she won't have to worry
She'll dress up all in lace and go in style
Late at night a big old house gets lonely
I guess every form of refuge has its price
And it breaks her heart to think her love is only
Given to a man with hands as cold as ice
So she tells him she must go out for the evening
To comfort an old friend who's feelin' down
But he knows where she's goin' as she's leavin'
She is headed for the cheatin' side of town
You can't hide your LYIN' eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your LYING eyes
On the other side of town a boy is waiting
With fiery eyes and dreams no one could steal
She drives on through the night anticipating
'Cause he makes her feel the way she used to feel
She rushes to his arms, they fall together
She whispers that it's only for awhile
She swears that soon she'll be comin' back forever
She pulls away and leaves him with a smile
You can't hide your LYIN' eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your LYIN' eyes
She gets up and pours herself a strong one
And stares out at the stars up in the sky
Another night, it's gonna be a long one
She draws the shade and hangs her head to cry
She wonders how it ever got this crazy
She thinks about a boy she knew in school
Did she get tired or did she just get lazy?
She's so far gone she feels just like a fool
My, oh my, you sure know how to arrange things
You set it up so well, so carefully
Ain't it funny how your new life didn't change things
You're still the same old girl you used to be
You can't hide your LYING eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your LYIN' eyes
There ain't no way to hide your LYIN' eyes
Honey, you can't hide your LYIN' eyes

[Spoken:]
[Boy:] On a hot summer night
Would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?
[Girl:] Will he offer me his mouth?
[Boy:] Yes
[Girl:] Will he offer me his teeth?
[Boy:] Yes
[Girl:] Will he offer me his jaws?
[Boy:] Yes
[Girl:] Will he offer me his hunger?
[Boy:] Yes
[Girl:] Again, will he offer me his hunger?
[Boy:] Yes
[Girl:]And will he starve without me?
[Boy:] Yes
[Girl:] And does he love me?
[Boy:] Yes
[Girl:] Yes
[Boy:] On a hot summer night
Would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?
[Girl:] Yes
[Boy:] I bet you say that to all the boys
[Sung:]
It was a hot summer night
And the beach was burning
There was fog crawling over the sand
When I listen to your heart
I hear the whole world turning
I see the shooting stars falling
Through your trembling hands
You were licking your lips
And your lipstick shining
I was dying just to ask for a taste
We were LYING together in a silver lining
By the the light of the moon
You know there's not another moment
Not another moment
Not another moment to waste
You hold me so close that my knees grow weak
But my soul is flying high above the ground
I'm trying to speak but no matter what I do
I just can't seem to make any sound
And then you took the words right out of my mouth
Oh it must have been while you were kissing me
You took the words right out of my mouth
And I swear it's true
I was just about to say I love you
And then you took the words right out of my mouth
Oh it must have been while you were kissing me
You took the words right out of my mouth
And I swear it's true
I was just about to say I love you
Now my body is shaking like a wave on the water
And I guess that I'm beginning to grin
Oh we're finally alone and we can do what we want to
The night is young
And Ain't no-one gonna know where you
No-one gonna know where you
No-one's gonna know where you've been
You were licking your lips
And your lipstick shining
I was dying just to ask for a taste
We were lying together in a silver lining
By the the light of the moon
You know there's not another moment to waste
And then you took the words right out of my mouth
Oh it must have been while you were kissing me
You took the words right out of my mouth
And I swear it's true
I was just about to say I love you
And then you took the words right out of my mouth
Oh it must have been while you were kissing me
You took the words right out of my mouth
And I swear it's true
I was just about to say I love you

When I woke up this morning
I was feeling mighty good.
My baby understood had to do what she should
LYING near a pile of wood.
Laying it on some,
Playing with it some
When I, I woke up with wood.
I was LYING there thinking 'bout basketball
Trying not to lose my mind
My baby came to help and I let out a yell,
She grabbed me from behind.
Laying on it some,
Playing with it some
When I, I woke up with wood.
Beauty queens fall in trances,
Debutantes lose their furs.
But it felt so good from where they stood,
They were working on a pile of wood.
Laying on it some,
Playing with it some
When I, I woke up with wood.

I've been waitin' for you, it's been so long
I knew just what I would do, when I heard your song
Filled my heart with your kiss, you gave me freedom
You knew I could not resist, I needed someone
And now we're flyin' through the stars
I hope this night lasts forever
Ain't NOBOBY (nobody)
Loves me better (love me better)

I wait for nighttime to come, and bring you to me
Can't believe I'm the one, I was so lonely
I feel like no one could feel, I must be dreamin'
I want this dream to be real, I need this feelin'
I make my wish upon a star
And hope this night will last forever
Oh, oh, oh
Ain't nobody (nobody)

NOBODY gets too much heaven no more
It's much harder to come by
I'm waiting in line
Nobody gets too much love anymore
It's as high as a mountain
And harder to climb
Oh you and me girl
Got a lot of love in store
And it flows through you
And it flows through me
And I love you so much more
Then my life, I can see beyond forever
Everything we are will never die
Loving's such a beautiful thing
Oh you make my world, a summer day
Are you just a dream to fade away
Nobody gets too much heaven no more
It's much harder to come by
I'm waiting in line
Nobody gets too much love anymore
It's as high as a mountain
And harder to climb
You and me girl got a highway to the sky
We can turn away from the night and day
And the tears you had to cry
You're my life
I can see a new tomorrow
Everything we are will never die
Loving's such a beautiful thing
When you are to me, the light above
Made for all to see our precious love
Nobody gets too much heaven no more
It's much harder to come by
I'm waiting in line
Nobody gets too much love anymore
It's as high as a mountain
And harder to climb
Love is such a beautiful thing
You make my world a summer day
Are you just a dream to fade away
Nobody gets too much heaven no more
It's much harder to come by
I'm waiting in line
Nobody gets too much love anymore
It's as wide as a river
And harder to climb
Nobody gets too much heaven no more
It's much harder to come by
I'm waiting in line
Nobody gets too much love anymore
It's as high as a mountain
And harder to climb
Nobody gets too much heaven no more
It's much harder to come by

One man come in the name of love
One man come and go
One man come he to justify
One man to overthrow
In the name of love
What more in the name of love?
In the name of love
What more in the name of love?
One man caught on a barbed wire fence
One man he resist
One man washed up on an empty beach
One man betrayed with a kiss
In the name of love
What more in the name of love?
In the name of love
What more in the name of love?
NOBODY like you
There’s noone like you
Nobody like you
Early morning, April four
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride
In the name of love
What more in the name of love?
In the name of love
What more in the name of love?
In the name of love
What more in the name of love?
In the name of love
What more in the name of love?

NOBODY does it better
Makes me feel sad for the rest
Nobody does it half as good as you
Baby, you're the best
I wasn't lookin' but somehow you found me
I tried to hide from your love light
But like heaven above me
The spy who loved me
Is keepin' all my secrets safe tonight
And nobody does it better
Though sometimes I wish someone could
Nobody does it quite the way you do
Why'd you have to be so good?
The way that you hold me
Whenever you hold me
There's some kind of magic inside you
That keeps me from runnin'
But just keep it comin'
How'd you learn to do the things you do?
And nobody does it better
Makes me feel sad for the rest
Nobody does it half as good as you
Baby, baby
Darlin', you're the best
Baby, you're the best
Baby, you're the best
Sweet baby, you're the best
Darlin', you're the best
Darlin', you're the best
Sweet baby, you're the best
Baby, you're the best

Just a gigolo
everywhere I go
people know the part
I'm playing
Paid for every dance
selling each romance
every night some heart

There will come a day

they'll say just a gigolo
as life goes on
without me

bella! is the administrator of this thread, her word is the word of god so to speak within this tread 🤭.
Bella have I made a mistake in interoperating on what should be shared within this thread, I look forward to your response 🥰
& thank you for your feedback Andthisisme
Thank you for "thinking outside the box" and providing your thoughts. My opinion is, I prefer the parameters that are currently in place. Sometimes the "word" is in a tune's title, sometimes NOT.

I wonder if one day that, you'll say that, you care
If you say you love me madly, I'll gladly
Be there
Like a puppet on a STRING
Love is just like a merry-go-round
With all the fun of a fair
One day I'm feeling down on the ground
Then I'm up in the air
Are you leading me on?
Tomorrow will you be gone?
I wonder if one day that, you'll say that, you care
If you say you love me madly, I'll gladly, be there
Like a puppet on a string
I may win on the roundabout
Then I'll lose on the swings
In or out, there is never a doubt
Just who's pulling the strings
I'm all tied up in you
But where's it leading me to?
I wonder if one day that, you'll say that, you care
If you say you love me madly, I'll gladly, be there
Like a puppet on a string
I wonder if one day that, you'll say that, you care
If you say you love me madly, I'll gladly, be there
Like a puppet on a string
Like a puppet on a...

Every time you look at me
I'm as helpless as can be
I become a puppet on a string
You can do 'most anything to me
All you do is touch my hand
And your wish is my command
I become a puppet on a STRING
You can do 'most anything to me
If you really love me
Darling please be kind
I offer you the truest love
That you will ever find
Take my heart and please be fair
Handle it with loving care
For I'm just a puppet on a string
You can do 'most anything to me
If you really love me
Darling please be kind

Contact is all it takes
To change your life to lose your place in time
Contact, asleep or awake
Coming around you may wake up to find
Questions deep within your eyes
Now more than ever you realize
And then you sense a change
Nothing feels the same
All your dreams are strange
Love comes walkin' in
Some kind of alien
Waits for the opening
Then simply pulls a STRING
Another world, some other time
You lay your sanity on the line
Familiar faces familiar sights
Reach back remember with all your might
Oh there she stands in a silken gown
Silver lights shining down
So when you sense a change
Nothing feels the same
All your dreams are strange
Love comes walkin' in
Some kind of alien
Waits for the opening
Then simply pulls a STRING
Love comes walkin' in
Oh, sleep and dream is all I crave
I travel far across the milky way
To my master I become a slave
Till we meet again some other day
Where silence speaks as loud as war
Earth returns to what it was before
And then you sense a change
Nothing feels the same
All your dreams are strange
Love comes walkin' in
Some kind of alien
Waits for the opening
Then simply pulls a STRING
Love comes walkin' in
Love comes walkin' in
Baby, pull the STRING
Love comes walkin' in
Love comes walkin' in yeah

"You're so free, " that's what everybody's telling me
Yet I feel I'm like an outward-bound, pushed around, refugee
Something's wrong, got a feeling that I don't belong
As if I had come from outer space, out of place, like King Kong
I'm a marionette, just a marionette, pull the STRING
I'm a marionette, everybody's pet, just as long as I sing
I'm a marionette, see my pirouette, round and round
I'm a marionette, I'm a marionette, just a silly old clown
Like a doll, like a puppet with no will at all
And somebody told me how to talk, how to walk, how to fall
Can't complain, I've got no-one but myself to blame
Something's happening I can't control, lost my hold, is it safe?
I'm a marionette, just a marionette, pull the string
I'm a marionette, everybody's pet, just as long as I sing
I'm a marionette, see my pirouette, round and round
I'm a marionette, I'm a marionette, just a silly old clown
"Look this way, just a little smile, " is what they say
"You look better on the photograph if you laugh, that's okay"
I'm a marionette, just a marionette, pull the string
I'm a marionette, everybody's pet, just as long as I sing
I'm a marionette, see my pirouette, round and round
I'm a marionette, I'm a marionette, just a silly old clown
"You're so free, " that's what everybody's telling me
Yet I feel I'm like an outward-bound, pushed around, refugee
