How about....

Leave me alone I'm a family man. don't push me to hard I just might....

I play this when he comes around. a kind of subliminal message...


If love is what you want
Baby here I am
If tenderness is what you need
I've got that to give
If you need some affection
Baby these are open arms
Open arms, open arms, open arms, open arms

You come home you've had a hard day
Every door you tried to open
Was closing in your face
I'm right here I'll be right here
I'll embrace you

I'll be open with my heart
I'll let you in
I'll be open with my thoughts
I'll be your best friend
If you need some attention
Baby these are open arms
Open arms, open arms, open arms, open arms

Every corner you turn
Trouble come your way
But when you get home
I'll try to be there
And I'll embrace you

These are
These are
These are
Open arms

If time is what you need
Baby I'll stop the clocks
If you're looking for something
Maybe I've got what you want
If there's one thing to remember
Don't forget that these are open arms
Open arms, open arms, open arms, open arms

These are
These are
These are
Open arms


Tracy Chapman

Righteously

You don't have to prove
Your manhood to me constantly
I know you're the man can't you see
I love you Righteously

Why you wanna dis me
After the way you been kissin' me
After those pretty things you say
And the love we made today

When you run your hand
All up and run it back down my leg
Get excited and bite my neck
Get me all worked up like that

Think this through
I laid it down for you everytime
Respect me I give you what's mine
You're entirely way too fine

Arms around my waist
You get a taste of how good this can be
Be the man you ought to tenderly
Stand up for me

Flirt with me don't keep hurtin' me
Don't cause me pain
Be my lover don't play no game
Just play me John Coltraine

Somewhere I Belong


When this began
I had nothing to say
And I get lost in the nothingness
Inside of me
I was confused
And I let it all out to find
That I’m not the only person
With these things in mind
Inside of me
But all the vacancy
The words revealed
Is the only real thing that
I’ve got left to feel
Nothing to lose
Just stuck, hollow and alone
And the fault is my own
And the fault is my own


I wanna heal
I wanna feel what
I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain
I’ve felt so long
Erase all the pain till it’s gone
I wanna heal
I wanna feel like I’m
Close to something real
I wanna find something
I’ve wanted all along
Somewhere I belong

And I’ve got nothing to say
I can’t believe
I didn’t fall right down
On my face
I was confused
Looking everywhere only to find
That it’s not the way I had imagined it
All in my mind
So what am I
What do I have but negativity
Cause I can’t justify the way
Everyone is looking at me
Nothing to lose
Nothing to gain, hollow and alone
And the fault is my own
And the fault is my own

I wanna heal
I wanna feel what
I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain
I’ve felt so long
Erase all the pain till it’s gone
I wanna heal
I wanna feel like I’m
Close to something real
I wanna find something
I’ve wanted all along
Somewhere I belong

I will never know myself
Until I do this on my own
And I will never feel anything else
Until my wounds are healed
I will never be anything till
I break away from me
I will break away
I'll find myself today

I wanna heal
I wanna feel what
I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain
I’ve felt so long
Erase all the pain till it’s gone
I wanna heal
I wanna feel like I’m
Close to something real
I wanna find something
I’ve wanted all along
Somewhere I belong

I wanna heal
I wanna feel like
I’m somewhere I belong
I wanna heal
I wanna feel like
I’m somewhere I belong
Somewhere I belong

Queen Love of my life

Love of my life, you've hurt me
You've broken my heart, and now you leave me
Love of my life, can't you see...
Bring it back, bring it back, don't take it away from me
Because you don't know, what it means to me

Love of my life, don't leave me
You've taken my love, you now desert me
Love of my life can't you see...
Bring it back bring it back, don't take it away from me
Because you don't know, what it means to me
You will remember, when this is blown over
And everything's all by the way
When I grow older I will be there at your side to remind you
How I still love you (I still love you)

Back hurry back, please bring it back home to me
Because you don't know, what it means to me
Love of my life, Love of my life, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh

Queen
These are the days of our lives

Sometimes I get to feeling I was back in the old days, long ago
When we were kids when we were young
Things seemed so perfect, you know
The days were endless we were crazy we were young
The sun was always shining, we just lived for fun
Sometimes it seems like lately, I just don't know
The rest of my life's been just a show

Those were the days of our lives, the bad things in life were so few
Those days are all gone now but one thing is true
When I look and I find, I still love you
You can't turn back the clock you can't turn back the tide... Ain't that a shame
I'd like to go back one time on a roller coaster ride, when life was just a game
No use in sitting and thinking on what you did
When you can lay back and enjoy it through your kids
Sometimes it seems like lately, I just don't know
Better sit back and go with the flow

Because these are the days of our lives
They've flown in the swiftness of time
These days are all gone now but some things remain
When I look and I find no change

Those were the days of our lives, yeah
The bad things in life were so few
Those days are all gone now but one thing's still true
When I look and I find... I still love you

I still love you

Nelly
Over and Over

Cause its all in my head
I think about it over and over again
And I can’t keep picturing you with him
And it hurts so bad, yeah
Cause it’s all in my head
I think about it over and over again
I replay it over and over again
And I can’t take it yeah I can’t shake it
Nooo

I can’t wait to see you
Want to see if you still got that look in your eyes
That one you had for me before we said our goodbyes
And it’s a shame that we got to spend our time
Being mad about the same things
Over and over again
About the same things
Over and over again
Ohh
But I think she’s leaving
Ooh man she’s leaving
I don’t know what else to do
(I Can’t go on not loving you)

Cause its all in my head
I think about it over and over again
And I can’t keep picturing you with him
And it hurts so bad, yeah
Cause its all in my head
I think about it over and over again
I replay it over and over again yeah
And I can’t take it yeah I can’t shake it
Nooo

I remember the day you left
I remember the last breath you took right in front of me
When you said that u would leave
I was too damn stubborn to try to stop you or say anything
But I see clearly now
And this choice I made keep playing in my head
Over and over again
Playing my head
Over and over again
Ohh
I think she’s leaving
Ooh man she’s leaving
I don’t know what else to do
(I Can’t go on not loving you)

Cause its all in my head
I think about it over and over again
And I can’t keep picturing you with him
And it hurts so bad, yeah
Cause its all in my head
I think about it over and over again
I replay it over and over again
And I can’t take it I can’t shake it
Nooo

(Now that I’ve realized that I’m going down
From all this pain you’ve put me through
Every time I close my eyes I lock it down oh
I can’t go on not loving you)

Cause its all in my head
I think about it over and over again
And I can’t keep picturing you with him
And it hurts so bad, yeah
Cause its all in my head
I think about it over and over again
I replay it over and over again
And I can’t take it I can’t shake it
Nooo

Cause its all in my head
I think about it over and over again
And I can’t keep picturing you with him
And it hurts so bad, yeah
Cause its all in my head
I think about it over and over again
I replay it over and over again
And I can’t take it I can’t shake it
Nooo

Over and Over again
Over and Over again
Cause it’s all in my head


Heart
Who will you run to

You're not sure what you want to do
with your life
but you sure don't want me in it
Yeah you're sure the life you're
living with me
can't go on one single minute
And there's a new one waiting
outside this door
and now's the time to begin it

You found a new world and
you want to taste it
But that world can turn cold and
you better face it

Who will you run to when it all falls down
Who's gonna pick you world up off the ground
Who's gonna take away the tears you cry
Who's gonna love you baby as good as I

You won't know what it's like to live
on your own
You've always had me there beside you
You think it's easy finding
someone out there
who's gonna care as much as I do
What's gonna happen baby
when you find out
that there's no one there to cry to

You can tell the whole world how you're
gonna make it
You can follow you heart but what ya do
when someone breaks it

Who will you run to when it all falls down
Who's gonna pick you world up off the ground
Who's gonna take away the tears you cry
Who's goona love you baby as good as I

You found a new world and
you want to taste it
But that world can turn cold and
you better face it

Who will you run to when it all falls down
Who's gonna pick you world up off the ground
Who's gonna take away the tears you cry
Who's gonna love you baby as good as I

Who will you run to when it all falls down
Who's gonna pick your world up off the ground
Who's gonna take away the tears you cry
Who's gonna love you baby as good as I

Celine Dion
To Love You More

Take me back in the arms I love
Need me like you did before
Touch me once again
And remember when
There was no one that you wanted more

Don't go you know you will break my heart
She won't love you like I will
I'm the one who'll stay
When she walks away
And you know I'll be standing here still

I'll be waiting for you
Here inside my heart
I'm the one who wants to love you more
You will see I can give you
Everything you need
Let me be the one to love you more

See me as if you never knew
Hold me so you can't let go
Just believe in me
I will make you see
All the things that your heart needs to know

I'll be waiting for you
Here inside my heart
I'm the one who wants to love you more
You will see I can give you
Everything you need
Let me be the one to love you more

And some way all the love that we had can be saved
Whatever it takes we'll find a way

I'll be waiting for you
Here inside my heart
I'm the one who wants to love you more
You will see I can give you
Everything you need
Let me be the one to love you more

R Kelly, Religious Love

Dearly beloved, why did you go
When being with you forever is all I hope
Slowly the rain is falling in our home
Come back and start right from going wrong
I'll be still until I hear from you
And I'll be waiting until you return this message

A religious love for you baby
Every night I pray
That heaven will send you back to me
Baby you're all I ever needed
Religious love for ya baby
Every night I pray
That someday I'll have you for my wife
Baby you are my life, please believe me

For only God knows how much I miss you
And for us to be one it takes two
So don't you go dying on me not right now
Please change the impossible to somehow
I'll be still there until I hear from you
And I'll be praying until you return this message

Chorus
In the middle of the night, I'll be callin' you
Every single breath I take I hope to see you there
If you should ever need, if ever you need a friend
Baby I am here and don't forget to remember me

Oh baby, come to me - don't leave me lonely
I need you here with me so return this message


If I Could Turn Back the Hands Of Time

How did I ever let you slip away
Never knowing I'd be singing this song someday
And now I'm sinking sinking to rise no more
Ever since you closed the door
(Chorus)
If I could turn turn back the hands of time
Then my darlin' you'd still be mine
If I could turn turn back the hands of time
Then my darlin' you'd still be mine
Funny funny how time goes by
And blessings are missed in the wink of an eye
Why oh why oh why should one have to go on suffering
When every day I plead please come back to me
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
And you had enough love for the both of us
But I, I did you wrong I admit I did
But now I'm facing the rest of my life alone
(Chorus)
I'd never hurt you (If I could turn back)
Never do you wrong (If I could turn back)
And never leave your side (If I could turn back)
If I could turn back the hands
There'll be nothing I wouldn't do for you (If I could turn back)
Forever honest and true to you (If I could turn back)
If you accept me back in your heart, I love you
If I could turn back the hands
(If I could turn back) That would be my will
(If I could turn back) Darlin' I'm begging you to take me by the hands
If I could turn back the hands
I'm going down yes I am (If I could turn back)
Down on my bended knee yeah (If I could turn back)
And I'm gonna be right there until you return to me
If I could turn back the hands
(If I could turn back) If I could just turn back that little clock on
the wall
(If I could turn back) Then I'd come to realize how much I love you,
love you, love you, love you, love you
If I could turn back the hands

Jet

Take my photo off the wall
If it just won't sing for you
'Cause all that's left has gone away
And there's nothing there for you to prove

Oh, look what you've done
You've made a fool of everyone
Oh well, it seems likes such fun
Until you lose what you had won

Give me back my point of view
'Cause I just can't think for you
I can hardly hear you say
What should I do, well you choose

Oh, look what you've done
You've made a fool of everyone
Oh well, it seems likes such fun
Until you lose what you had won


Oh, look what you've done
You've made a fool of everyone
A fool of everyone
A fool of everyone

Take my photo off the wall
If it just won't sing for you
'Cause all that's left has gone away
And there's nothing there for you to do

Oh, look what you've done
You've made a fool of everyone
Oh well, it seems likes such fun
Until you lose what you had won


Oh, look what you've done
You've made a fool of everyone
A fool of everyone
A fool of everyone

I crank this one up when I feel down....It's also playing in the background of my phone message. When my WH calls he can hear it loud and clear. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

"I WILL SURVIVE" By Gloria Gaynor


First I was afraid
I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live
without you by my side
But I spent so many nights
thinking how you did me wrong
I grew strong
I learned how to carry on
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 my stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I had 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
you think I'd crumble
you think I'd lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive
as long as i know how to love
I know I will 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

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
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
now I'm saving all my loving
for someone who's loving me

Photographs and memories
Jim Croce

Photographs and memories
Christmas cards you sent to me
All that I have are these

To remember you

Memories that come at night
Take me to another time
Back to a happier day
When I called you mine

CHORUS:

But we sure had a good time
When we started way back when
Morning walks and bedroom talks
Oh how I loved you then

Summer skies and lullabies
Nights we couldn't say good-bye
And of all of the things the we knew
Not a dream survived

Photographs and memories
All the love you gave to me
Somehow it just can't be true
That's all I've left of you

Genesis

Need I say I love you
Need I say I care
Need I say that emotion's,
Something we don't share
I don't want to be sitting here
trying to deceive you
Cos you know I know baby
I don't wanna go.

We cannot live together
We cannot live apart
That's the situation
I've known it from the start
Every time that I look at you
I can see the future
Cos you know I know baby
I don't wanna go.

Throwing it all away
Throwing it all away
Is there nothing that I can say
To make you change your mind
I watch the world go round and round
And see mine turning upside down
You're throwing it all away.

Who'll light up the darkness
Who will hold your hand
Who will find you the answers
When you don't understand
Why should I have to be the one
Who has to convince you
Cos you know I know baby
That I don't wanna go.

Some day you'll be sorry
Someday when you're free
Memories will remind you
That our love was meant to be
Late at night when you call my name
The only sound you'll hear
Is the sound of your voice calling
Calling after me.

Just throwing it all away
Throwing it all away
There's nothing I can say
You're throwing it all away

Go way from my window
go way from my door

Go waaaayyy from my bedside,
And bother me no more

And bother me, no more...

I'll go tell all my brothers
tell all my sisters too
the reason why my heart is broke
is all because of you

is all because of you...

I 'll give you back you letters
I'll give you back your ring

but I'll never forget
my own true love
as long as songbirds sing

As long as songbirds sing...

Go way from my window
go way from my door

so way from my bedside
and bother me no more

and bother me no more...

(Joan Baez)



ps: all is well with us.

No kiddin' Shul?

Nice to see you. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

You too, gc.

'...In spite of ourselves
We'll end up a sittin' on a rainbow
Against all odds
Honey, we're the big door prize
We're gonna spite our noses
Right off of our faces
There won't be nothin' but big old hearts
Dancin' in our eyes.
There won't be nothin' but big old hearts
Dancin' in our eyes....'

(Prine/Dement)

You'll Think of Me
Keith Urban

Woke up early this morning 'round 4am
With the moon shining bright as headlights on the interstate
Pulled the covers over my head and tried to catch some sleep
But thoughts of us kept keeping me awake
Ever since you found yourself in someone else's arms
I've been tryin' my best to get along
But that's OK
There's nothing left to say, but

Take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories I don't need 'em
Take your space and take your reasons
But you'll think of me
And take your cat and leave my sweater
'Cause we have nothing left to weather
In fact I'll feel a whole lot better
But you'll think of me,
You'll think of me

I went out driving trying to clear my head
I tried to sweep out all the ruins that my emotions left
I guess I'm feeling just a little tired of this
And all the baggage that seems to still exist
It seems the only blessing I have left to my name
Is not knowing what we could have been
What we should have been
So

Take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories I don't need'em
Take your space and take your reasons
But you'll think of me
And take your cat and leave my sweater
'Cause we have nothing left to weather
In fact I'll feel a whole lot better
But you'll think of me

Someday I'm gonna run across your mind
Don't worry, I'll be fine
I'm gonna be alright
While you're sleeping with your pride
Wishing I could hold you tight
I'll be over you
And on with my life

So take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories I don't need'em
And take your cat and leave my sweater
'Cause we have nothing left to weather
In fact I'll feel a whole lot better
But you'll think of me

So take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories I don't need'em
Take your space and all your reasons
But you'll think of me
And take your cat and leave my sweater
'Cause we got nothing left to weather
In fact I'll feel a whole lot better
But you'll think of me,
You'll think of me, yeah

And you're gonna think of me
Oh someday baby, someday . . .

Homewrecker:
Gretchen Wilson.


Well, you're a real hot cookie with a new hair-do,
Your high heeled boots and your credit card.
Long legs and a mini skirt,
Yeah you know what works and you work it hard.
You smile like such a lady, innocent and sweet.
You drive the men folk crazy but any girl can see,

You're just a homewrecker,
I know what you're doin'.
You think you're gonna ruin,
What I got but you're not.
Yeah, you little go-getter
I'll teach you a lesson,
If you get to messin' with my man,
You don't stand a chance.
No, you're just a homewrecker.

I'm sure you waited for a long, long time,
To find a man like mine but honey you're too late.
So before you go and make your move
Maybe me and you should get a few things straight.
There's two ways we can do this, I'll let you decide.
You can take it somewhere else or we can take it outside.

You little homewrecker,
I know what you're doin'.
You think you're gonna ruin,
What I got but you're not.
Yeah, you little go-getter
I'll teach you a lesson,
If you get to messin' with my man,
You don't stand a chance.
No, you're just a homewrecker.

Instrumental Break.

Now, honey, I'm a Christian,
But if you keep it up,
I'm gonna go to kickin' your pretty little butt.
Is that clear enough?


Yeah, you little homewrecker,
I know what you're doin'.
You think you're gonna ruin,
What I got but you're not.
Yeah, you little go-getter
I'll teach you a lesson,
If you get to messin' with my man,
You don't stand a chance.
No, you're just a homewrecker.
Yeah, you're just a homewrecker.
Homewrecker.

I posted my compiled CD list back in February, and Since I Fell for You was at the top! Here's another

Don’t know why there’s no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain’t together,
Keeps rainin’ all the time

Life is bare, gloom and mis’ry everywhere
Stormy weather
Just can’t get my poorself together,
I’m weary all the time
So weary all the time
When he went away the blues walked in and met me.
If he stays away old rockin’ chair will get me.

All I do is pray the lord above will let me walk in the sun once more.
Can’t go on, ev’ry thing I had is gone
Stormy weather

Since my man and I ain’t together,
Keeps rainin’ all the time
