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!
I was alright for a while
I could smile for a while
But I saw you last night, you held my hand so tight
As you stopped to say, "Hello"
Oh, you wished me well, you couldn't tell
That I'd been CRYING over you
CRYING over you
Then you said, "So long"
Left me standing all alone
Alone and CRYING
CRYING
CRYING
CRYING
It's hard to understand
But the touch of your hand
Can start me CRYING
I thought that I was over you
But it's true, so true
I love you even more than I did before
But darling, what can I do?
For you don't love me
And I'll always be
CRYING over you
CRYING over you
Yes, now you're gone
And from this moment on
I'll be CRYING
CRYING
CRYING
CRYING
Yeah, CRYING
CRYING
Over you

It's my party, and I'll CRY if I want to
Cry if I want to
Cry if I want to
You would cry too, if it happened to you
Nobody knows where my Johnny has gone
But Judy left the same time
Why was he holding her hand
When he's supposed to be mine?
It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to
Cry if I want to
You would cry too, if it happened to you
Play all my records, keep dancing all night
But leave me alone for awhile
'Til Johnny's dancing with me
I've got no reason to smile
It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to
Cry if I want to
You would cry too, if it happened to you
Judy and Johnny just walked through the door (walked through the door)
Like a queen with her king
Oh, what a birthday surprise
Judy's wearing his ring
It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to
Cry if I want to
You would cry too, if it happened to you
Oh, it's my party, and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to
Cry if I want to
You would cry too, if it happened to you
It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to
Big girls don't CRY
Big girls don't CRY
Big girls don't CRY
(They don't CRY)
Big girls don't CRY
(Who said they don't CRY?)
My girl said goodbye
(My oh my)
My girl didn't CRY
(I wonder why?)
(Silly boy) Told my girl we had to break up
(Silly boy) Hoped that she would call my bluff
(Silly boy) When she said to my surprise
"Big girls don't CRY"
Big girls don't CRY
(They don't CRY)
Big girls don't CRY
(Who said they don't CRY?)
(Maybe) I was cruel
(I was cruel)
Baby, I'm a fool
(I'm such a fool)
(Silly girl) Shame on you, your mama said
(Silly girl) Shame on you, you're cryin' in bed
(Silly girl) Shame on you, you told a lie
Big girls do CRY
Big girls don't CRY
(They don't CRY)
Big girls don't CRY

The smell of your skin lingers on me now.
You're probably on your flight back to your home town.
I need some shelter of my own protection, baby,
To be with myself and center clarity, peace, serenity.
I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you.
It's personal: myself and I.
We've got some straightenin' out to do.
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket,
But I've got to get a move on with my life.
It's time to be a big girl now.
And big girls don't CRY,
Don't CRY, don't CRY, don't CRY.
The path that I'm walking I must go alone.
I must take the baby steps 'til I'm full-grown, full-grown.
Fairytales don't always have a happy ending, do they?
And I foresee the dark ahead if I stay?
I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you.
It's personal: myself and I.
We've got some straightenin' out to do.
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket,
But I've got to get a move on with my life.
It's time to be a big girl now.
And big girls don't CRY.
Like the little school mate in the school yard
We'll play jacks and uno cards.
I'll be your best friend and you'll be my Valentine.
Yes, you can hold my hand if you want to
'Cause I want to hold yours too.
We'll be playmates and lovers and share our secret worlds.
But it's time for me to go home.
It's getting late and dark outside.
I need to be with myself and center clarity, peace, serenity.
I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you.
It's personal: myself and I.
We've got some straightenin' out to do.
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket,
But I've got to get a move on with my life.
It's time to be a big girl now.
And big girls don't CRY,
Don't CRY, don't CRY, don't CRY.

No, woman, no CRY
No, woman, no cry
No, woman, no cry
No, woman, no cry
'Cause, 'cause, 'cause I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
Oba observing the 'ypocrites
Mingle with the good people we meet
Good friends we have, oh, good friends we've lost
Along the way
In this great future, you can't forget your past
So dry your tears, I seh
No, woman, no cry
No, woman, no cry
'Ere, little darlin', don't shed no tears
No, woman, no cry
Said, said, said, I remember when-a we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
And then Georgie would make the fire lights, I seh
A log wood burnin' through the night
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge, I seh
Of which I'll share with you
My feet is my only carriage
And so I've got to push on through
But while I'm gone
Everything's gonna be all right
Everything's gonna be all right
Everything's gonna be all right
Everything's gonna be all right
Everything's gonna be all right
Everything's gonna be all right
Everything's gonna be all right
Everything's gonna be all right
So no woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
I say, oh little oh little darling, don't shed no tears
No woman, no cry
No woman, no woman, no woman, no cry
No woman, no cry, one more time I've got to say
Oh little little darling, please don't shed no tears
No woman, no cry
No woman, no woman no cry

CRY baby cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
The king of Marigold was in the kitchen
Cooking breakfast for the queen
The queen was in the parlour
Playing piano for the children of the king
Cry baby cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry
The king was in the garden
Picking flowers for a friend who came to play
The queen was in the playroom
Painting pictures for the childrens holiday
Cry baby cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry
The duchess of Kircaldy always smiling
And arriving late for tea
The duke was having problems
With a message at the local bird and bee
Cry baby cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry
At twelve o'clock a meeting round the table
For a seance in the dark
With voices out of nowhere
Put on specially by the children for a lark
Cry baby cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry cry cry cry baby
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
Cry baby cry
Cry cry cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry

I know all there is to know about the CRYing game
I've had my share of the crying game
First there are kisses
Then there are sighs
And then, before you know where you are
You're sayin' goodbye
One day soon, I'm gonna tell the moon
About the crying game
And if he knows, maybe he'll explain
Why there are heartaches (Heartaches)
Why there are tears (So sad)
Then what to do to stop feeling blue
When love disappears
First there are kisses (Kisses)
Then there are sighs (So sad)
And then, before you know where you are
You're sayin' goodbye
Don't want no more of the crying game (Don't want no more)
Don't want no more of the crying game (Don't want no more)
Don't want no more of the crying game (Don't want no more)
Don't want no more of the crying game
I left my gal in Kansas City,
Left her cryin' in the rain,
I told her that I made my mind up,
I didn't want to see her again.
What makes the night so lonely?
What makes the night so long?
Why I guess its just because I'm a man,
That's done a good woman wrong.
I can't eat...
I can't sleep....
All I can do is cry.
All I can do is cry.
I told her that she was a driver,
Told her that she played around,
But I was just a lying man,
Tryin' to hide the tracks she had found.
Gonna catch myself a flyer,
One that's Kansas City bound,
I'm goin' lookin' for my baby,
Good lord I hope she's still around.
I can't eat
I can't sleep
All I can do is cry
All I can do is cry
I can't eat
I can't sleep
All I can do is cry
All I can do is cry

[Verse 1]
You're living in a dream mist made of pink perfume
You hurt behind the mask of Sunday afternoons
You'll never see the real world, never find out why
You live a life of feathers, flying in a cloud
Your mind is like a jungle, overgrown with flowers
You'll never see the real life, never learn to CRY
[Verse 2]
You're floating through the lost world of other people's dreams
You see the world through diamonds made of plasticine
You never see the real things, never find out why
Your thoughts are bubbles bursting out of golden foam
You're sheltered from the sunlight by making love your home
You never see the real life, never learn to cry
[Verse 3]
You're living in a dream mist made of pink perfume
You live a life of feathers, flying in a cloud
You're floating through the lost world of other people's dreams
Your thoughts are bubbles bursting out of golden foam
You're sheltered from the sunlight...

Can you hear the drums Fernando?
I remember long ago another starry night like this
In the firelight Fernando
You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar
I could hear the distant drums
And sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar
They were closer now Fernando
Every hour every minute seemed to last eternally
I was so afraid Fernando
We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die
And I'm not ashamed to say
The roar of guns and cannons almost made me CRY
There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando
Though I never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
Now we're old and grey Fernando
And since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hand
Can you hear the drums Fernando?
Do you still recall the frightful night we crossed the Rio Grande?
I can see it in your eyes
How proud you were to fight for freedom in this land
There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando
Though I never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
Yes, if I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando...

It won't be easy
You think it's strange
When I try to explain how I feel
That I still need your love
After all that I've done
You won't believe me
All you will see
Is a girl you once knew
Although she's dressed up
To the nines
At sixes
And sevens with you
I had to let it happen
I had to change
Couldn't stay all my life down at heel
Looking out
Of the window
Staying out of the sun
So I chose freedom
Running around
Trying everything new
But nothing
Impressed me
At all
I never
Expected it to
Don't CRY for me, Argentina
The truth is
I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance
And as for fortune
And as for fame
I never invited them in
Though it seemed
To the world
They were all I desire
They are illusions
They're not
The solutions they promise to be
The answer
Was here
All the time
I love you
And hope you love me
Don't cry for me
Argentina
Don't cry for me, Argentina
The truth is
I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance
Have I said too much?
There's nothing more
I can think of
To say to you
But, all you have to do
Is look at me to know
That every word
Is true!
Nothing lasts forever
It's so sad to lose your love
I've been crazy since you left me
I'm sorry for what I've done
Why did you go?
Why did you go?
Have you ever had a broken heart?
Have you ever lost your mind?
Have you ever woke up screaming
'Cause you're so lonely, you could die
Why did you go?
Why did you go?
I'm lonely, baby
Cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry
I'm gonna cry myself blind
Cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry
I'm gonna cry myself blind
Good times don't come easy
Dreams don't all come true
The world looks like a prison
When you're stinging with the blues
Why did you go?
Why did you go?
I'm lonely, baby
Cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry
I'm gonna cry myself blind
Cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry
I'm gonna cry myself blind
Cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry
I'm gonna cry myself blind
Cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry
I'm gonna cry myself blind
Cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry
Cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry
In the corner of my eye
I saw you in Rudy's
You were very high
You were high
It was a cryin' disgrace
They saw your face
On the counter by your keys
Was a book of numbers
And your remedies
One of these
Surely will screen out the sorrow
But where are you tomorrow
I can't cry anymore
While you run around
(While you run around)
Break away
Just when it seems so clear
That it's over now
Drink your big black cow
And get out of here
Down to Greene Street
There you go
Lookin' so outrageous
And they tell you so
You should know
How all the pros play the game?
Then you change your name
Like a gangster on the run
You will stagger homeward
To your precious one
I'm the one
Who must make everything right
Talk it out till daylight
I don't care anymore
Why you run around
(Why you run around)
Break away
Just when it seems so clear
That it's over now
Drink your big black cow
And get out of here
I can't cry anymore
While you run around
(While you run around)
Break away
Just when it seems so clear
That it's over now
Drink your big black cow
And get out of here
So outrageous
So outrageous
So outrageous
When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so fuckin' special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
I don't care if it hurts
I wanna have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I'm not around
You're so fuckin' special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
Oh, oh
She's running out the door
She's running out
She run, run, run, run
Run
Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so fuckin' special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
I don't belong here

I was sitting by the phone
I was waiting all alone
Baby by myself I sit and wait
And wonder about you
It's a dark and dreary night
Seems like nothing's going right
Won't you tell me honey
How can I go on here without you?
Yes I'm down and feeling blue
And I don't know what to do, oh-oh
Ring, ring, why don't you give me a CALL?
Ring, ring, the happiest sound of them all
Ring, ring, I stare at the phone on the wall
And I sit all alone impatiently
Won't you please understand the need in me?
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
You were here and now you're gone
Hey did I do something wrong?
I just can't believe that
I could be so badly mistaken
Was it me or was it you?
Tell me, are we really through?
Won't you hear me cry?
And you will know that my heart is breaking
Please forgive and then forget
Or maybe darling better yet, oh-oh
Ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
Ring, ring, the happiest sound of them all
Ring, ring, I stare at the phone on the wall
And I sit all alone impatiently
Won't you please understand the need in me?
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
Oh-oh, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?

It was a rainy night
The night the king went down
Everybody was crying
It seemed like sadness had surrounded the town
Me, I went to the liquor store
And I bought a bottle of wine and a bottle of gin
I played his records all night
Drinking with a close, close friend
Now some people say that that ain't right (that ain't right)
And some people say nothing at all (said nothing)
But even in the darkest of night
You can always hear the king's CALL
You can always hear the king's call
Well, they put him away in Memphis
Six feet beneath the clay
Everybody was crying, everybody said it was a plain gray day
Me, I went to the liquor store
And I bought another bottle of wine and another bottle of gin
I played his records all night
And I got drunk all over again
Now some people say that that ain't right (that ain't right)
And some people say nothing at all (said nothing)
But even in the darkest of night
You could always hear the king's call
You could always hear the king's call
I wonder if you're lonesome tonight
And I'd rather go on hearing your lies
Than to go on living without you
Now some people say that that ain't right
And some people say nothing at all
But even in the darkest of night
You could always hear the king's call
You could always hear the king's call
You could always hear the king's call
You could always hear the king's call
You could always hear the king's call
(They might as well bring the curtain down)
You could always hear the king's call
You could always hear the king's call
(I cried the night the king died)
You could always hear the king's call
You could always hear the king's call
(You could always hear the king's call)
You could always hear the king's call
(I got drunk over you)

… Don't wish it away
Don't look at it like it's forever
Between you and me I can honestly say
That things will only get better
… And while I'm away
Dust out the demons inside
And it won't be long before you and me run
To the place in our hearts where we hide
… And I guess that's why they CALL it the blues
Time on my hands should be time spent with you
Laughing like children, living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers
And I guess that's why they call it the blues
… Just stare into space
Picture my face in your hands
Live for each second without hesitation
And never forget I'm your man, Mary Mary
… Wait on me girl
Cry in the night if it helps
But more than ever I simply love you
More than I love life itself
… And I guess that's why they call it the blues
Time on my hands should be time spent with you
Laughing like children, living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers
And I guess that's why they call it the blues
… Wait on me boy (Wait on me girl)
I Want You To Cry in the night if it helps (yeah)
But more than ever I simply love you
More than I love life itself

Living like lovers Elton, living like lovers

I’vе been wishing things had been different
But I guess thе cards, they fall the way they're meant
Win or lose or draw you play the hand you’re sent
Beggar, borrower, given, taken, lent
I’ve been drinking, staying drunk all day
Got me creeping, but it’s not late at night
Got my life twisted, turned it upside down
Just a fool to hang around
So they call me a fool

For your love baby
And I’ll be a fool any time

What should I write?
What can I say?
How can I tell you how much I miss you?
The weather here has been as nice as it can be
Although it doesn't really matter much to me
For all of the fun I'll have while you're so far away
It might as well RAIN until September
I don't need sunny skies for things I have to do
'Cause I stay home the whole day long and think of you
As far as I'm concerned each day's a rainy day
So it might as well rain until September
My friends look forward to their picnics on the beach
Yes, everybody loves the summertime
But you know, darling, while your arms are out of reach
A summer isn't any friend of mine
It doesn't matter whether skies are grey or blue
It's raining in my heart 'cause I can't be with you
I'm only living for the day you're home to stay
So it might as well rain until September
September, September,
Oh, it might as well rain until September
If the RAIN comes
They run and hide their heads
They might as well be dead
If the RAIN comes
If the RAIN comes
When the sun shines
They slip into the shade (when the sun shines down)
And sip their lemonade (when the sun shines down)
When the sun shines
When the sun shines
Rain
I don't mind
Shine
The weather's fine
I can show you
That when it starts to RAIN (when the RAIN comes down)
Everything's the same (when the RAIN comes down)
I can show you
I can show you
RAIN
I don't mind
Shine
The weather's fine
Can you hear me?
That when it RAINS and shines (when it RAINS and shines)
It's just a state of mind (when it rains and shines)
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?

When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of a storm
There's a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark
Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the RAIN
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone
Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone
There are many, many versions of this and I was going to post a different artist but on listening to them, none of them made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up like this version.

Penny Lane, there is a barber showing photographs
Of every head he's had the pleasure to know
And all the people that come and go
Stop and say, "Hello"
On the corner is a banker with a motorcar
And little children laugh at him behind his back
And the banker never wears a Mac in the pouring RAIN
Very strange
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
Wet beneath the blue suburban skies
I sit and meanwhile back in
Penny Lane, there is a fireman with an hourglass
And in his pocket is a portrait of the Queen
He likes to keep his fire engine clean
It's a clean machine
Penny Lane, is in my ears and in my eyes
A four of fish and finger pies
In summer, meanwhile back
Behind the shelter in the middle of a roundabout
A pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray
And though she feels as if she's in a play
She is anyway
Penny Lane, the barber shaves another customer
We see the banker sitting waiting for a trim
And then, the fireman rushes in from the pouring rain
Very strange
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
There beneath the blue suburban skies
I sit and meanwhile back
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
There beneath the blue suburban skies
Penny Lane

Strolling along country roads with my baby
It starts to RAIN, it begins to pour
Without an umbrella we're soaked to the skin
I feel a shiver run up my spine
I feel the warmth of her hand in mine
Oh, I hear laughter in the rain
Walking hand in hand with the one I love
Oh, how I love the rainy days
And the happy way I feel inside
After a while we run under a tree
I turn to her and she kisses me
There with the beat of the rain on the leaves
Softly she breathes and I close my eyes
Sharing our love under stormy skies
Oh, I hear laughter in the rain
Walking hand in hand with the one I love
Oh, how I love the rainy days
And the happy way I feel inside
I feel the warmth of her hand in mine
Oh, I hear laughter in the rain
Walking hand in hand with the one I love
Oh, how I love the rainy days
And the happy way I feel inside
Oh, I hear laughter in the rain
Walking hand in hand with the one I love
Oh, how I love the rainy days
And the happy way I feel inside

Listen to the rhythm of the falling RAIN (ahh)
Telling me just what a fool I've been (pitter patter, rap-tap-tap)
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain (ahh)
And let me be alone again (pitter patter, rap-tap-tap)
The only girl I care about has gone away (ahh)
Looking for a brand new start (pitter patter, rap-tap-tap)
But little does she know that when she left that day (ahh)
Along with her she took my heart (pitter patter, rap-tap-tap)
Rain please tell me now does that seem fair
For her to steal my heart away when she don't care?
I can't love another when my hearts somewhere far away (ooh)

Looking for a brand new start (pitter patter, rap-tap-tap)

Rain won't you tell her that I love her so
Please ask the sun to set her heart aglow
Rain in her heart and let the love we knew start to grow (ooh)

The sun is out, the sky is blue
There's not a cloud to spoil the view
But it's RAINING, raining in my heart
The weather man says clear today
He doesn't know you've gone away
And it's raining, raining in my heart
Oh, misery, misery
What's gonna become of me?
I tell my blues they mustn't show
But soon these tears are bound to flow
'Cause it's raining, raining in my heart
But it's raining, raining in my heart
And it's raining, raining in my heart
Oh, misery, misery
What's gonna become of me?
I tell my blues they mustn't show
But soon these tears are bound to flow

Someone told me long ago
There's a calm before the storm
I know, it's been coming for some time
When it's over, so they say
It'll RAIN a sunny day
I know, shining down like water
I wanna know, have you ever seen the RAIN?
I wanna know, have you ever seen the RAIN?
Coming down on a sunny day
Yesterday, and days before
Sun is cold and RAIN is hard
I know, been that way for all my time
'Til forever, on it goes
Through the circle, fast and slow
I know, it can't stop, I wonder
I wanna know, have you ever seen the RAIN?
I wanna know, have you ever seen the RAIN?
Coming down on a sunny day
Yeah!

When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin' when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same?
Nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November RAIN
We've been through this such a long long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain, ooh yeah
Love is always coming, love is always going
No one's really sure who's lettin' go today
Walking away
If we could take the time to lay it on the line
I could rest my head just knowin' that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin' in the cold November rain
Do you need some time on your own?
Do you need some time all alone?
Ooh, everybody needs some time on their own
Ooh, don't you know you need some time all alone
I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you?
Oh, oh, oh
Sometimes I need some time on my own
Sometimes I need some time all alone
Ooh, everybody needs some time on their own
Ooh, don't you know you need some time all alone
And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain, oh yeah
I know that you can love me when there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness, we still can find a way
'Cause nothin' lasts forever, even cold November rain
Don't ya think that you need somebody?
Don't ya think that you need someone?
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
Don't ya think that you need somebody?
Don't ya think that you need someone?
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
Don't ya think that you need somebody?
Don't ya think that you need someone?
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
Don't ya think that you need somebody?
Don't ya think that you need someone?
Everybody needs somebody
It is the springtime of my loving
The second season I am to know
You are the sunlight in my growing
So little warmth I've felt before
It isn't hard to feel me glowing
I watched the fire that grew so low, oooh, oh
It is the summer of my smiles
Flee from me, keepers of the gloom
Speak to me only with your eyes
It is to you I give this tune
Ain't so hard to recognize, oh
These things are clear to all from time to time, ooh
Oh, oh
Ah, talk, talk, talk, talk
Hey!
I've felt the coldness of my winter
I never thought it would ever go
I cursed the gloom that set upon us, upon us, upon us
But I know that I love you so, ohhhh, oh
But I know that I love you so
These are the seasons of emotion
And like the winds they rise and fall
This is the wonder of devotion
I see the torch we all must hold
This is the mystery of the quotient, quotient
Ah, upon us all, upon us all a little rain must fall
Just a little rain, oh yeah
Uhh, ooooh, yeah yeah yeah
Got on board a westbound 747
Didn't think before deciding what to do
Oh, that talk of opportunities, TV breaks and movies
Rang true, sure rang true
Seems it never RAINS in southern California
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before
It never RAINS in California
But girl, don't they warn ya?
It pours, man, it pours
Out of work, I'm out of my head
Out of self respect, I'm out of bread
I'm underloved, I'm underfed
I wanna go home
It never RAINS in California
But girl, don't they warn ya?
It pours, man, it pours
Will you tell the folks back home I nearly made it?
Had offers but don't know which one to take
Please don't tell 'em how you found me
Don't tell 'em how you found me
Gimme a break, give me a break
Seems it never RAINS in southern California
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before
It never RAINS in California
But girl, don't they warn ya?
It pours, man, it pours
The leaves of brown
Came tumblin' down, remember
In September in the rain
The sun went out
Just like a dying ember
That September in the rain
To every word of love
I heard you whisper
The raindrops seemed to play
A sweet refrain
Though spring is here
To me it's still September
That September in the rain
To every word of love
I heard you whisper
The raindrops seemed to play
A sweet refrain
Though spring is here
To me it's still September
That September in the rain
That September in the rain
Just walking in the rain
Getting soaking wet
Torturing my heart
By trying to forget
Just walking in the rain
So alone and blue
All because my heart
Still remembers you
People come to windows
They always stare at me
Shaking their heads in sorrow
Saying, who can that fool be
Just walking in the rain
Thinking how we met
Knowing things could change
Somehow I can't forget
(Just walking in the rain)
(Walking in the rain)
(Walking in the rain)
(Just walking in the rain)
(All day I ....)
People come to their windows
They always stare at me
Their shaking their heads in sorrow
Saying, who can that fool be
(Now who can he be)
Just walking in the rain
(Walking in the rain)
Thinking how we met
(Walking in the rain)
Knowing things could change
(Walking in the rain)
Somehow I can't forget
(Walking in the rain ....)
I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted to one time to see you laughing
I only wanted to see you
Laughing in the purple RAIN
Purple RAIN, purple RAIN
Purple RAIN, purple RAIN
Purple RAIN, purple RAIN
I only wanted to see you
Bathing in the purple RAIN
I never wanted to be your weekend lover
I only wanted to be some kind of friend (hey)
Baby, I could never steal you from another
It's such a shame our friendship had to end
Purple RAIN, purple RAIN
Purple RAIN, purple RAIN
Purple RAIN, purple RAIN
I only wanted to see you
Underneath the purple RAIN
Honey, I know, I know
I know times are changing
It's time we all reach out
For something new, that means you too
You say you want a leader
But you can't seem to make up your mind
I think you better close it
And let me guide you to the purple RAIN
Purple RAIN, purple RAIN
Purple RAIN, purple RAIN
If you know what I'm singing about up here
C'mon, raise your hand
Purple RAIN, purple RAIN
I only want to see you
Only want to see you
In the purple RAIN
