"You Made Me Love You" by Patsy Cline

There are many versions of this song, but I like this one:

You made me love you,
I didn’t want to do it,
I didn’t want to do it
You made me want you,
And all the time you knew it,
I guess you always knew it.
You made me happy sometimes,
Sometimes you made me glad
But there were times, dear,
You made me feel so bad
You made me sigh for,
I didn’t wanna tell you,
I ddn’t want to tell you
I want some lovin’ that’s true,
Yes I do, indeed I do, you know I do
Give me, give me, give me what I cry for,
You know you got the brand of kisses that I’d die for
You know you made me love you
You made me sigh for,
I didn’t want to tell you,
I didn’t wanna tell you
I want some lovin’ that’s true,
Yes I do, indeed I do, you know I do
Give me, give me, give me what I cry for,
You know you got the brand of kisses that I’d die for
You know you made me love you

"Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love" by Van Halen

What kind of love makes someone go on a shooting spree:

I heard the news, baby,
All about your disease
Yeah you may have all you want, baby,
But I got somethin' you need
Oh yeah, ain't talkin' 'bout love
My love is rotten to the core
Ain't talkin' 'bout love
Just like I told you before, yeah before

You know you're semi-good lookin'
And on the streets again
Oh yeah you think you're really cookin' baby,
You better find yourself a friend
My friend, ain't talkin' 'bout love
My love is rotten to the core
Ain't talkin' 'bout love
Just like I told you before,
Uh before, uh before, before

Ain't talkin' 'bout love
Babe it's rotten to the core
Ain't talkin' 'bout love
Just like I told you before, uh before
I been to the edge,
An' there I stood an' looked down
You know I lost a lot of friends there baby,
I got no time to mess around
Mmmm, so if you want it got to bleed for it baby
Yeah, got to got to bleed baby
Mmmm, you got to got to bleed baby
Hey, got to got to bleed baby

Ain't talkin' 'bout love
My love is rotten to the core
Ain't talkin' 'bout love
Just like I told you before, before, before
Ain't talkin' 'bout love
Don't wanna talk about love
Don't need to talk about love
Ain't gonna talk about love, no more, no more, ah
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey

"Rapture" by Blondie

It sure seems the Rapture has begun:

Toe to toe, dancing very close.
Body breathing, almost comatose.
Wall to wall, people hypnotized.
And they're stepping lightly.
Hang each night in rapture.

Back to back, sacroiliac.
Spineless movement and a wild attack.
Face to face, sightless solitude.
And it's finger popping.
Twenty four hour shopping in rapture.

Fab Five Freddy told me everybody's fly.
D.J. spinning, I said, "My, My."
Flash is fast, flash is cool.
François, c'est pas flashe non due.
And you don't stop sure shot.
Go out to the parking lot.
And you get in your car and drive real far.
And you drive all night and then you see a light.
And it comes right down and it lands on the ground.
And out comes the man from Mars.
And you try to run but he's got a gun.
And he shoots you dead and he eats your head.
And then you're in the man from Mars.
You go out at night eatin' cars.
You eat Cadillacs, Lincolns too.
Mercurys and Subaru.
And you don't stop.
You keep on eatin' cars.
Then when there's no more cars you go out at night
And eat up bars where the people meet.
Face to face.
Dance cheek to cheek.
One to one.
Man to man.
Dance toe to toe.
Don't move too slow
Cause the man from Mars
Is through with cars.
He's eating bars.
Yeah, wall to wall.
Door to door.
Hall to hall.
He's gonna eat 'em all.
Rapture.
Be pure.
Take a tour through the sewer.
Don't strain your brain.
Paint a train.
You'll be singing in the rain.
Said don't stop, do the punk rock.

Well now you see what you wanna be.
Just have your party on TV
Cause the man from Mars won't eat up bars
Where the TV's on.
Now he's gone back up to space
Where he won't have a hassle with the human race.
Say you hip hop.
And you don't stop.
Just blast off, sure shot.
Cause the man from Mars stopped eatin' cars
And eatin' bars
And now he only eats guitars.
Yeah!

"Kryptonite" by Three Doors Down

Superheros and Saviors are always taken for granted until it's too late:

I took a walk around the world
To ease my troubled mind
I left my body laying somewhere
In the sands of time
I watched the world float
To the dark side of the moon
I feel there is nothing I can do, yeah

I watched the world float
To the dark side of the moon
After all I knew it had to be
Something to do with you
I really don’t mind what happens now and then
As long as you’ll be my friend at the end

If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman?
If I’m alive and well, will you be
There holding my hand?
I’ll keep you by my side
With my superhuman might
Kryptonite

You called me strong, you called me weak,
But still your secrets I will keep
You took for granted all the times
I never let you down
You stumbled in and bumped your head
If not for me then you would be dead
I picked you up and put you back
On solid ground

If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman?
If I’m alive and well,
Will you be there holding my hand?
I’ll keep you by my side
With my superhuman might
Kryptonite
Yeah!!

If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If I’m alive and well, will you be there
Holding my hand
I’ll keep you by my side
With my superhuman might
Kryptonite

"Beautiful Liar" by Beyoncé and Shakira

I love the Middle-Eastern groove of this song:

(Ay)
(Ay)
(Ay)
(Nobody likes being played)

Oh, Beyoncé, Beyoncé
Oh, Shakira, Shakira (Hey)

[Beyoncé] He said, I'm worth it, his one desire
[Shakira] I know things about him that you wouldn't want to read about
[Beyoncé] He kissed me, his one and only
(Yes) Beautiful Liar
[Shakira] Tell me how you tolerate the things you just found out about

[Shakira] We'll never know
[Beyoncé] Why are we the ones who suffer?
[Shakira] I have to let go
[Beyoncé] He won't be the one to cry

(Ay) Let's not kill the Karma
(Ay) Let's not start a fight
(Ay) It's not worth the drama
For a Beautiful Liar

(Oh) Can't we laugh about it? (ha ha)
(Oh) It's not worth our time
(Oh) We can live without him
Just a Beautiful Liar

[Shakira] I trusted him, but when i followed you I saw you together
[Beyoncé] I didn't know about you then till I saw you with him when, yea
[Shakira] I walked in on your love scene slow dancing
[Beyoncé] You stole everything
How can you say I did you wrong?

[Shakira] We'll never know
[Beyoncé] When the pain and heartbreaks over
[Shakira] I have to let go
[Beyoncé] The innocence is gone

(Ay) Let's not kill the Karma
(Ay) Let's not start a fight
(Ay) It's not worth the drama
For a Beautiful Liar

(Oh) Can't we laugh about it? (ha ha)
(Oh) It's not worth our time
(Oh) We can live without him
Just a Beautiful Liar

[Shakira] Tell me how to forgive you (ooo)
When it's me who's ashamed (oh)
[Beyoncé] And I wish I could free you of the hurt and the pain
[Both] But the answer is simple: he's the one to blame
(Hey)

Ay, Beyoncé, Beyoncé
Ay, Shakira, Shakira
Oh, Beyoncé, Beyoncé
Oh, Shakira, Shakira

(Hey)
(Ay) Let's not kill the Karma
(Ay) Let's not start a fight
(Ay) It's not worth the drama
For a Beautiful Liar

(Oh) Can't we laugh about it? (Ha Ha)
(Oh) It's not worth our time
(Oh) We can live without him
Just a Beautiful Liar

"Famous Last Words" by My Chemical Romance

My six year old loves this song, but he sings it, "I am not afraid to rock this world." He's so cute and I hope he gets to feeling better soon:

Now I know
That I can't make you stay
But where's your heart
But where's your heart
But where's your...

I know
There's nothing I could say
To change that part
To change that part
To change...

So many
Bright lights been cast a shadow
But can I speak?
Well is it hard understanding
I'm incomplete
A life that's so demanding
I get so weak
And all their souls are burning
I can't speak

I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home

Can you see
My eyes are shining bright
Cause I'm out here
On the other side
Of the jet black hotel mirror
And I'm so weak
Is it hard understanding
I'm incomplete
And all their souls are burning
I get weak

I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home

I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home

These bright lights are
glowing bright at me
These bright lights are
glowing bright at me
I said

I see you lying next to me
With words I thought I'd never speak
Awake and unafraid
Asleep or dead
[x4]

I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home
[x3]
