I love that song...I WILL SURVIVE. As a matter of fact...I have that playing in the background of my answering machine. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />
When my WH calls he here's it and in my message I'm very cheery! I hope it gets him everytime he calls. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Great idea - I will put that on my answer phone message too.

KMEJ - here's the rest of the lyrics cos i also love that song.

And so you're back from outta 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 know for just one second you'd be back to bother me

All right now go, walk out the door
Just turn around now, cos you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with your smile (I think)
Do you think I'd crumble, do 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 and I've got all my love to give, I will survive I will survive hey hey
(musical bit) There's probably more but this was all I needed to remind myself THAT I WILL SURVIVE

Good tune, pretty good lyrics...
just heard it this morning. And of course, I CRANKED IT!


Don't Shed A Tear -- Paul Carrack

Cab fare to nowhere is what you are
A white line to an exit sign is what you are
Oh but I saw in you, now I see through
Don't shed a tear for me, my life won't end without you
Long as the night will be, the sun will rise without you
A locked door on a candy store is what you are
A slim chance in tight pants is what you are
All that I loved you for, I want it more
Don't shed a tear for me, my life won't end without you
Long as the night will be, the sun will rise without you
You are giving what I'm not taking
I'm not missing what we ain't making
Oh but I saw in you, now I see through
Don't shed a tear for me, my life won't end without you
Long as the night will be, the sun will rise without you
Don't shed a tear for me, my life won't end without you
Long as the night will be, the sun will rise without you
Don't shed no tears,
I don't need a thing.

Not sure who sings it but there is an old/classic country song and the hook is;

You better kiss me
Cause you're gonna miss me
When I'm gone

My FWW still hates it when I sing it. Of course it could have something to do with my signing voice.

Always love these song threads.
Everybody remember that IT'S A GREAT DAY TO BE ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My favorite has always been: 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

This one is a favourite of mine...

The Cars---Drive

Who's gonna tell you when
It's too late
Who's gonna tell you things
Aren't so great

You can't go on
Thinking nothing's wrong
Who's gonna drive you home tonight

Who's gonna pick you up
When you fall
Who's gonna hang it up
When you call
Who's gonna pay attention
To your dreams
Who's gonna plug their ears
When you scream

You can't go on
Thinking nothing's wrong
Who's gonna drive you home tonight

Who's gonna hold you down
When you shake
Who's gonna come around
When you break

You can't go on
Thinking nothing's wrong
Who's gonna drive you home tonight

Oh you know you can't go on
Thinking nothing's wrong
Who's gonna drive you home tonight

A perfect song for my sich

</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Better Man, Better Off
Tracy Lawrence
______

The hardest thing I'll ever do
Is to walk away still loving you
I'd give anything if you loved me
But some things just ain't meant to be

Can't say it's all been time lost
In the Long Run, I'll be a Better Man, Better Off

Chorus
Gonna find my pride, self esteem, get on with my life
follow my dreams, ain't lookin' back
Learn from my mistakes, once I'm past this heartache
I know when the hurting stops, I'll Be a Better Man, Better Off

I know Rome wasn't built in a day
And there's a lot of good memories in my way
If I had it to do over again
I wouldn't change a thing, except for the end

Gonna be some pain, gotta pay the cost
But in the long run, I'll be a Better Man, Better Off

Chorus

Solo
I'm gonna learn from my mistakes
Once I'm past the heartache
I know when the hurting stops
A Better Man
A whole lot better off

Wow that is a really good song.
Gives you hope for the future...which I think we all sometimes loose.

Yeah, especially since I don't want a D but since my WW/STBXW won't give up her BF I can't think of any other alternative. I am not one to wait for several years while she has her fun with her OM only to find out it isn't all it was cracked up to be to come crawling back to me. I want to be #1 in her life, not #2.

I'll be a better man, better off.
