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!

It's a long LONELY highway when you're travellin' all alone
And it's a mean old world when you got no-one to call your own
And you pass through towns too small to even have a name, oh yes
But you gotta keep on goin', on that road to nowhere
Gotta keep on goin', though there's no-one to care
Just keep movin' down the line
It's a long lonely highway without her by my side
And it's a trail full of teardrops that keep on being cried
My heart's so heavy it's a low down dirty shame oh yes
You gotta keep on goin', on that road to nowhere
Gotta keep on goin', though there's no-one to care
Just keep movin' down the line
I gotta rock for my pillow 'neath a weeping willow
And the cool grass for my bed
My drinking water's muddy so don't you tell me buddy
That I wouldn't be better off dead
It's a long lonely highway gettin' longer all the time
And if she don't come and get me
Well, I'm gonna lose my mind
So if you read about me tell her she's the one to blame, oh yes
You gotta keep on goin', on that road to nowhere
Gotta keep on goin', though there's no-one to care
Just keep movin' down the line
Movin' down the line
Movin' down the line
Only the LONELY
Only the LONELY
Only the LONELY
Know the way I feel tonight
Only the LONELY
Know this feeling ain't right
There goes my baby
There goes my heart
They're gone forever
So far apart
But only the LONELY
Know why
I cry
Only the LONELY
Only the LONELY
Only the LONELY
Only the LONELY
Know the heartaches I've been through
Only the LONELY
Know I cry and cry for you
Maybe tomorrow
A new romance
No more sorrow
But that's the chance
You gotta take
If your LONELY heart breaks
Only the LONELY

Oh I cried last night
How I cried last night
For I knew warning you've given me last night
Now it's over yes its over
And all my tears are all too late
I won't sleep tonight
I will weep tonight
But the year fill with tears would not put this right
For I have lost you, I lost you
Now I'm only little miss LONELY
A tear is such a very lonely thing
But crying is the only thing that I can find to do since I lost you
I'm wiser now, so much wiser now
But my wisdom is the wisdom of a fool somehow
For I love you, I still love you
But I'm only little miss lonely

Sometimes I feel like I don't have a partner
Sometimes I feel like my only friend
Is the city I live in, The City of Angels
LONELY as I am together we cry
I drive on her streets 'cause she's my companion
I walk through her hills 'cause she knows who I am
She sees my good deeds and she kisses me windy
Well, I never worry, now that is a lie
I don't ever wanna feel like I did that day
But take me to the place I love, take me all the way
I don't ever wanna feel like I did that day
But take me to the place I love take me all the way
Yeah, yeah yeah
It's hard to believe that there's nobody out there
It's hard to believe that I'm all alone
At least I have her love
The city, she loves me
LONELY as I am together we cry
I don't ever wanna feel like I did that day
But take me to the place I love take me all the way
I don't ever wanna feel like I did that day
But take me to the place I love take me all the way
Yeah, yeah yeah
Oh, no, no, no, yeah yeah
Love me, I say, yeah yeah
One time
(Under the bridge downtown)
Is where I drew some blood
(Under the bridge downtown)
I could not get enough
(Under the bridge downtown)
Forgot about my love
(Under the bridge downtown)
I gave my life away, yeah
Yeah yeah
Oh, no, no no no, yeah yeah
Oh no, I said oh, yeah yeah
Here I stay
I'm reminiscing now....gosh, you have made me think about the member Whoknows. A super guy, a musical guy living in the UK, in Liverpool. A conversation that I had with Whoknows inspired me to think of thread and he is/was a big time Red Hot Chili Peppers fan. Thanks for your post and I enjoyed my trip down memory lane.

He was born on a summer day 1951
And with a slap of a hand
He landed as an only son
His mother and father said what a lovely boy
We'll teach him what we learned
Ah yes just what we learned
We'll dress him up warmly and
We'll send him to school
It'll teach him how to fight
To be nobody's fool
Oh, oh what a LONELY boy
Oh what a lonely boy
Oh what a lonely boy
In the summer of '53 his mother
Brought him a sister
And she told him we must attend to her needs
She's so much younger than you
Well he ran down the hall and he cried
Oh how could his parents have lied
When they said he was an only son
He thought he was the only one
Oh, oh what a lonely boy
Oh what a lonely boy
Oh what a lonely boy
Goodbye mama, goodbye to you
Goodbye papa I'm pushing on through
He left home on a winter day 1969
And he hoped to find all the love
He had lost in that earlier time
Well his sister grew up
And she married a man
He gave her a son
Ah yes a lovely son
They dressed him up warmly
They sent him to school
It taught him how to fight
To be nobody's fool
Oh, oh what a lonely boy
Oh what a lonely boy
Oh what a lonely boy
Oh, oh, oh, oh what a lonely boy
Oh what a lonely boy
Oh what a lonely boy

I can wait another day until I call you
You've only got my heart on a string
And everything a'flutter
But another LONELY night might take forever
We've only got each other to blame
It's all the same to me love
'Cause I know what I feel to be right
No more lonely nights
No more lonely nights
You're my guiding light
Day or night I'm always there
May I never miss the thrill of being near you
And if it takes a couple of years
To turn your tears to laughter
I will do what I feel to be right
No more lonely nights (never be another)
No more lonely nights
You're my guiding light
Day or night I'm always there
And I won't go away until you tell me so
No, I'll never go away
Yes, I know what I feel to be right
No more lonely nights (never be another)
No more lonely nights
You're my guiding light
Day or night I'm always there
And I won't go away until you tell me so
No, I'll never go away
And I won't go away until you tell me so
No, I'll never go away
No more lonely nights

Try to imagine a house that's not a home
Try to imagine a Christmas all alone
That s where I'll be since you left me
My tears could melt the snow
What can I do without you?
I've got no place, no place to go
It'll be LONELY this Christmas
Without you to hold
It'll be lonely this Christmas
Lonely and cold
It'll be cold, so cold, without you to hold
This Christmas
Each time I remember the day you went away
And how I would listen to the things you had to say
I just break down as I look around
And the only things I see
Are emptiness and loneliness
And an unlit Christmas tree
It'll be lonely this Christmas
Without you to hold
It'll be lonely this Christmas
Lonely and cold
It'll be cold, so cold, without you to hold
This Christmas
You remember last year when you and I were here
We never thought there'd be an end
And I remember looking at you then
And I remember thinking that Christmas
Must have been made for us
'Cause darling, this is the time of year
That you really, you really need love
When it means so very, very much
So it ll be lonely this Christmas
(Without you to hold) without you to hold
(It'll be lonely this Christmas)
It ll be so very lonely this Christmas
(Lonely and cold) lonely and cold
It'll be lonely this Christmas
Without you to hold
It'll be lonely this Christmas
Lonely and cold
It'll be cold, so cold, without you to hold
This Christmas
Merry Christmas, darling, wherever you are

Move yourself
You always live your life
Never thinking of the future
Prove yourself
You are the move you make
Take your chances, win or loser
See yourself
You are the steps you take
You and you, and that's the only way
Shake, shake yourself
You're every move you make
So the story goes
Owner of a LONELY heart
Owner of a LONELY heart
(Much better than a)
Owner of a broken heart
Owner of a LONELY heart
Say, you don't want to chance it
You've been hurt so before
Watch it now
The eagle in the sky
How he dancin' one and only
You, lose yourself
No not for pity's sake
There's no real reason to be LONELY
Be yourself
Give your free will a chance
You've got to want to succeed
Owner of a LONELY heart
Owner of a LONELY heart
(Much better than a)
Owner of a broken heart
Owner of a LONELY heart
Owner of a LONELY heart
After my own indecision
They confused me so
Owner of a LONELY heart
My love said never question your will at all
In the end you've got to go
Look before you leap
Owner of a LONELY heart
And don't you hesitate at all, no no
Yow!
Owner of a LONELY heart
Owner of a LONELY heart

Owner of a broken heart
Owner of a LONELY heart
Owner of a LONELY heart
Owner of a LONELY heart
(Much better than a)
Owner of a broken heart
Owner of a LONELY heart
Owner of a LONELY heart
Sooner or later each conclusion
Will decide the LONELY heart
Owner of a LONELY heart
It will excite, it will delight
It will give a better start
Owner of a LONELY heart
Don't deceive your free will at all
Don't deceive your free will at all
Owner of a LONELY heart
Don't deceive your free will at all
Just receive it
Just receive it

Now I am so LONELY, I'm Mr. LONELY
Wish I had someone to call on the phone
Now I'm a soldier, a LONELY soldier
Away from home through no wish of my own
That's why I'm LONELY, I'm Mr. LONELY
I wish that I could go back home
Letters, never a letter
I get no letters in the mail
I've been forgotten, yes, forgotten
Oh, how I wonder, how is it I failed
Now I'm a soldier, a LONELY soldier
Away from home through no wish of my own
That's why I'm LONELY, I'm Mr. LONELY
I wish that I could go back home

Just a small town girl
Livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train going anywhere
Just a city boy
Born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train going anywhere
A singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waitin'
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searchin' in the night
Streetlights, people
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin', somewhere in the night
Workin' hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice
Just one more time
Some'll win, some will lose
Some are born to sing the blues
Whoa, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waitin'
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searchin' in the night
Streetlights, people
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin', somewhere in the night
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlights, people
Don't stop believin'
Hold on
Streetlights, people
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlights, people
Anyways, thank you for posting a great tune! 👍
Thank you and hope to see you back with other posts.

can see you now, living like a queen
In a house that has everything, everything but love
Crystal chandeliers, chauffeured limousines
Yes, you'll really have everything, everything but love
I see diamonds and sables
Sapphires and pearls, and as the picture clears
Poor little RICH girl sitting all alone
Counting her treasures in tears
Better just a shack, where two people care
Than a house that has everything, everything but love

I work all night, I work all day to pay the bills I have to pay
Ain't it sad?
And still there never seems to be a single penny left for me
That's too bad
In my dreams I have a plan
If I got me a wealthy man
I wouldn't have to work at all, I'd fool around and have a ball
Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the RICH man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man's world
Aha
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world
It's a rich man's world
A man like that is hard to find but I can't get him off my mind
Ain't it sad?
And if he happens to be free I bet he wouldn't fancy me
That's too bad
So I must leave, I'll have to go
To Las Vegas or Monaco
And win a fortune in a game, my life will never be the same
Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man's world
Aha
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world
Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man's world
Aha
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world
It's a rich man's world
How does it feel to be
One of the beautiful people
Now that you know who you are
What do you want to be
And have you traveled very far?
Far as the eye can see
How does it feel to be
One of the beautiful people
How often have you been there
Often enough to know
What did you see when you were there
Nothing that doesn't show
Baby you're a RICH man
Baby you're a RICH man
Baby you're a RICH man, too
You keep all your money in a big brown bag inside a z00
What a thing to do
Baby you're a RICH man
Baby you're a RICH man
Baby you're a RICH man, too
How does it feel to be
One of the beautiful people
Tuned to a natural E
Happy to be that way
Now that you've found another key
What are you going to play
Baby you're a RICH man
Baby you're a RICH man
Baby you're a RICH man, too
You keep all your money in a big brown bag inside a z00
What a thing to do
Baby, baby, you're a RICH man
Baby you're a RICH man
Baby you're a RICH man, too (oh)
Baby you're a RICH man
Baby you're a RICH man (baby)
Baby you're a RICH man, too
Baby you're a RICH man

Isn't it RICH
Aren't we a pair
Me here at last on the ground
You in mid-air
Send in the clowns
Isn't it bliss
Don't you approve
One who keeps tearing around
One who can't move
Where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns
Just when I stopped opening doors
Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours
Making my entrance again with my usual flair
Sure of my lines
No one is there
Don't you love farce
My fault I fear
I thought that you'd want what I want
Sorry my dear
But where are the clowns
There ought to be clowns
Quick send in the clowns
What a surprise
Who could foresee?
I've come to feel about you what you felt about me
Why only now when I see that you've drifted away
What a surprise, what a cliché
Isn't it rich, isn't it queer
Losing my timing this late in my career
And where are the clowns
Quick send in the clowns
Don't bother they're here

Well I woke up this morning
On the wrong side of the bed
And how I got to thinkin'
About all those things you said
About ordinary people
And how they make you sick
And if callin' names kicks back on you
Then I hope this does the trick
'Cause I'm sick of your complainin'
About how many bills
And I'm sick of all your bitchin'
'Bout your poodles and your pills
And I just can't see no humor
About your way of life
And I think I can do more for you
With this here fork and knife
Eat the RICH
There's only one thing that they are good for
Eat the RICH
Take one bite now - come back for more
Eat the RICH
I gotta get this off my chest
Eat the RICH
Take one bite now - spit out the rest
So I called up my head shrinker
And I told him what I'd done
He said you best go on a diet
Yeah, I hope you have some fun
And a don't go burst the bubble
On RICH folks who get rude
'Cause you won't get in no trouble
When you eats that kinda food
Now they're smokin' up their junk bonds
And then they go get stiff
And they're dancin' in the yacht club
With muff and uncle biff
But there's one good thing that happens
When you toss your pearls to swine
Their attitudes may taste like shit
But go real good with wine
Eat the RICH
There's only one thing that they are good for
Eat the RICH
Take one bite now - come back for more
Eat the RICH
I gotta get this off my chest
Eat the RICH
Take one bite now - spit out the rest
Believe in all the good things
That money just can't buy
Then you won't get no bellyache
From eatin' humble pie
I believe in rags to RICHes
Your inheritance won't last
So take your gray poupon my friend
And shove it up your ass
Eat the RICH
There's only one thing that they are good for
Eat the RICH
Take one bite now - come back for more
Eat the RICH
I gotta get this off my chest
Eat the RICH
Take one bite now - spit out the rest
Eat the RICH
There's only one thing that they are good for
Eat the RICH
Take one bite now - come back for more
Eat the RICH
Don't stop me now, I'm goin' crazy
Eat the RICH
That's my idea of a good time baby

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the RICH get RICH
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like their father or their dog just died
Everybody talking to their pockets
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
And a long stem rose
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that you love me baby
Everybody knows that you really do
Everybody knows that you've been faithful
Ah give or take a night or two
Everybody knows you've been discreet
But there were so many people you just had to meet
Without your clothes
And everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
And everybody knows that it's now or never
Everybody knows that it's me or you
And everybody knows that you live forever
Ah when you've done a line or two
Everybody knows the deal is rotten
Old Black Joe's still pickin' cotton
For your ribbons and bows
And everybody knows
And everybody knows that the Plague is coming
Everybody knows that it's moving fast
Everybody knows that the naked man and woman
Are just a shining artifact of the past
Everybody knows the scene is dead
But there's gonna be a meter on your bed
That will disclose
What everybody knows
And everybody knows that you're in trouble
Everybody knows what you've been through
From the bloody cross on top of Calvary
To the beach of Malibu
Everybody knows it's coming apart

One two!
If you ever hear a noise in the night
Your body starts to sweat
It shakes and shivers in fright
You go and sleep with your mother
She hates you guts
She knows that you love her
So she holds you tight
All through the night in to the broad daylight
And when she doesn't come home
You'll have to sleep alone
Then you wet your bed and I think that's sad
For a girl of 19 it's more than sad, it's obscene!
One Two!
And your girlfriend sweet little 17
She's got her layered hair and her flared jeans
You know what that means, she's just a little queen
She shares your London flat
She thinks that London's where it's at
Although it stinks and when it rains you wear your hat
And your plum coloured PVC wet- look maxi mac
You tie your ginger hair back in a bun
You're the ugliest creature, under the sun!
One Two!
Go!
One Two!
And you think it's about time that you died, and I agree
So you decide on suicide
You tried but you never quite carried it out
You only wanted to die in order to show off
And if you think you're gonna bleed all over me
You're even wronger than you'd normally be
And the only things you want to see are kitsch
And the only thing you want to be is rich
Your little pink up-pointed nose begins to twitch
I know you know you're just a little bitch!
One Two!

My baby makes me proud
Lord, don't she make me proud
She never makes a scene
By hangin' all over me in a crowd
'Cause people like to talk
Lord, don't they love to talk
But when they turn out the lights
I know she'll be leavin' with me
And when we get behind closed DOORS
Then she lets her hair hang down
And she makes me glad that I'm a man
Oh, no one knows what goes on behind closed doors
My baby makes me smile
Lord, don't she make me smile
She's never far away
Or too tired to say "I want you"
She's always a lady
Just like a lady should be
But when they turn out the lights
She's still a baby to me
'Cause when we get behind closed doors
Then she lets her hair hang down
And she makes me glad I'm a man
Oh, no one knows what goes on behind closed doors
Behind closed doors

Everyone considered him the coward of the county
He'd never stood one single time to prove the county wrong
His mama named him Tommy, but folks just called him Yellow
But something always told me, they were reading Tommy wrong
He was only ten years old when his daddy died in prison
I looked after Tommy, 'cause he was my brother's son
I still recall the final words my brother said to Tommy
"Son, my life is over, but yours has just begun"
"Promise me, son, not to do the things I've done
Walk away from trouble if you can
Now it won't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek
I hope you're old enough to understand
Son, you don't have to fight to be a man"
There's someone for everyone and Tommy's love was Becky
In her arms, he didn't have to prove he was a man
One day while he was working, the Gatlin boys came calling
They took turns at Becky an' there was three of them
Tommy opened up the door and saw Becky crying
The torn dress, the shattered look was more than he could stand
He reached above the fireplace and took down his daddy's picture
As his tears fell on his daddy's face, he heard these words again
"Promise me, Son, not to do the things I've done
Walk away from trouble if you can
Now it won't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek
I hope you're old enough to understand
Son, you don't have to fight to be a man"
The Gatlin boys just laughed at him when he walked into the bar room
One of them got up and met him half way cross the floor
When Tommy turned around they said, "Hey look! Old Yellow's leaving"
But you could've heard a pin drop when Tommy stopped and locked the DOOR
Twenty years of crawling was bottled up inside him
He wasn't holding nothing back, he let 'em have it all
When Tommy left the bar room, not a Gatlin boy was standing
He said, "This one's for Becky", as he watched the last one fall
And I heard him say
"I promised you, Dad, not to do the things you've done
I walk away from trouble when I can
Now please don't think I'm weak, I didn't turn the other cheek
And Papa, I should hope you understand
Sometimes you gotta fight when you're a man"
Everyone considered him the coward of the county
Gloria Gaynor - I will survive
only registered users can see external links
At first, I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong
And I grew strong, and I learned how to get along
And so you're back from outer space
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I'd have known for just one second you'd be back to bother me
Go on now, go. Walk out the DOOR
Just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh, no, not I
I will survive
Oh, as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
And I'll survive
I will survive, hey, hey
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
Kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
And I spent, oh, so many nights just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high
And you see me somebody new
I'm not that chained-up little person still in love with you
And so you felt like dropping in
And just expect me to be free
And now I'm saving all my loving for someone who's loving me
Go on now, go. Walk out the DOOR
Just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh, no, not I
I will survive
Oh, as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
And I'll survive
I will survive
Go on now, go. Walk out the DOOR
Just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh, no, not I
I will survive
Oh, as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
And I'll survive
I will survive
I will survive
Now the time has come to say goodbye
And I leave before I start to cry
Nothing happening 'round here no more
Gonna leave through my little red door
Back in school when we were young and free
Not a thing would upset you or me
Now I feel my heart it beats so soft
As I leave through my little red door
But growing up is very hard to do
But don't let all that growing smother you
All the time you needed is now gone
All that's left is happy playground songs
That you will song no more
Now it seems if you're not settled down
With a house and children running 'round
People wonder what you should be doin'
And they think you live your life in ruin
But growing up is very hard to do
But don't let all that growing smother you
All the time you needed is now gone
All that's left is happy playground songs
That you will song no more
Now the time has come to say goodbye
Nothing happening 'round here no more
Gonna leave through my little red door
Close the door, put out the light
You know they won't be home tonight, oh oh
The snow falls hard, and don't you know?
The winds of Thor are blowing cold
They're wearing steel that's bright and true
They carry news that must get through
They choose the path where no-one goes
They hold no quarter
They hold no quarter
Aaaahh
Walking side by side with death
The devil mocks their every step, ooh
The snow drives back the foot that's slow
The dogs of doom are howling more, oh
They carry news that must get through
To build a dream for me and you, oh
They choose the path where no-one goes
They hold no quarter
They ask no quarter
They hold no quarter
They ask no quarter
Oh!
The pain, the pain without quarter, oh yeah!
They ask no quarter (Without quarter, quarter, quarter)
They give no quarter (Giving me, giving me no...)
Oh (I hear the dogs of doom are howling more)

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)

Rolling Stones - Sympathy for the Devil

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 puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
I stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the Tzar 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
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah
I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made
I shouted out,
"Who killed the Kennedys?"
When after all
It was you and me
Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reach Bombay
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, hit it
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
Cause I'm in need of some restraint
So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste
Um yeah
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, um yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
Um mean it, get down
Woo, who
Oh yeah, get on down
Oh yeah
Oh yeah!
Tell me baby, what's my name
Tell me honey, can ya guess my name
Tell me baby, what's my name
I tell you one time, you're to blame
Ooo, who
Ooo, who
Ooo, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who

Tell me, baby, what's my name
Tell me, sweetie, what's my name
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who

With the syncopated rhythm, with the scratch, scratch, scratch
Makes me want to move my body yeah, yeah, yeah

I messed it up, alright
And there's no doubt about it
I had to pick this fight
'Cause I'd go mad without it
Bending like a willow when a storm is brewing
Oh yeah, that's you
But, hey, I take the rap
This one's my mishap
And there's no DOBT about it
He tells me that he won't take the bait
That I have a tendency to exaggerate
And maybe he's right, but that is beside the point
Well, then why do I let it upset me?
Yes, and why am I biting my nails?
I made a mess this time
And there's no doubt about it
Hands down, the fault is mine
And I'm prepared to shout it
Out across the rooftops if it makes you happy
Oh, yes, I could
So, hey, I take the blame
This one's got my name
And there's no doubt about it
He says with forbearance in his eyes
Most couples we know are able to compromise
He's too good for me, that's one thing I know for sure
If that's true, why do I let it upset me?
There I go, stomping my feet like a child
But he is a good man
He tries to understand why I freak out
He worries, and I know, it's an honest reaction
I messed it up, alright
And there's no doubt about it
I had to pick this fight
I'd have gone mad without it
Hissing like a wild cat when I should be purring
But you know me
This isn't where it ends
I could make amends
And there's no doubt about it (this isn't where it ends)
No doubt about it (this isn't where it ends)
No doubt about it (this isn't where it ends)

I've been around the world
I've seen a million girls
Ain't one of them got
What my lady she's got
She's stealin' the spotlight
Knocks me off my feet
She's enough to start a landslide
Just a walkin' down the street
Wearing dresses so tight
And looking dynamite
Enough to blow me out
No DOUBT about it can't live without it
The girl's got rhythm (girl's got rhythm)
The girl's got rhythm (girl's got rhythm)
She's got the backseat rhythm (backseat rhythm)
The girl's got rhythm
She's like a lethal brand
Too much for any man
She gives me first degree
She really satisfies me
Love me till I'm legless
Aching and sore
Enough to stop a freight train
Or start the Third World War
You know I'm losin' sleep
I'm in too deep
Like a body needs blood
No DOUBT about it, can't live without it
The girl's got rhythm (girl's got rhythm)
The girl's got rhythm (girl's got rhythm)
She's got the backseat rhythm (backseat rhythm)

I may not always love you
But long as there are stars above you
You never need to doubt it
I'll make you so sure about it
God only knows what I'd be without you
If you should ever leave me
Well, life would still go on, believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me?
God only knows what I'd be without you
Ooh, ooh
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Bow, buh-bow, buh-bow, buh-bow (Do, do, do, do)
