That the song by Gloria Gaynor buys into the alien theory? 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

lol!! Yep! I actually listened to that song a month or so ago. I've known it forever and sang along but didn't really listen. I thought of Pebbles cause she loves disco and it reminded me of how strong she has been with her alien.

Okay, funny "infidelity" song for ya. Country, which I don't normally do, but this was on the radio as I was driving through Sacramento a billion years ago, and it caught my ear...
Collin Raye "That's my Story"
"I came in as the sun came up. She glared at me over her coffee cup. She said, "Where you been?" So I thoguht real hard and said, "I fell asleep in that hammock in the yard." She said, "You don't know it boy, but you just blew it." And I said, "Well that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
That's my story. Oh, that's my story. Well, I ain't got a witness, and I can't prove it, but that's my story and I'm stickin' to it."
I got that deer-in-the-headlight look. She read my face like the cover of a book and said, "Don't expect me to believe all that static, 'cause just last week I threw that hammock in the attic." My skin got so thin so you could see right through it, and I stuttered, "Well that's my story and I'm stickin t-t-to it.
That's my story. Well, that's my story. I ain't got a witness, and I can't prove it, but that's my story and I'm stickin' to it."
You know the time comes when a wise man knows the best thing that he can do is just look her in the eye and beg for mercy and face the bitter truth...
Well honey me and the boys played cards all night. There wasn't no hanky-panky, not a woman in sight. I know I should called, and baby I.. I'm really sorry, but get a cellular phone and then you won't have to worry. You know how much I love ya, darling, and I'm ready to prove it. And that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
That's my story, oh, that's my story. Well I ain't got a witness and ya know I can't prove it. But that's my story and I'm stickin' to it.
You know I ain't gonna do a thing darling unless you approve it. And that's my story and I'm sticking to it."

I Will Survice - Love that song! Played that one till the vinyl broke when my high school BF (1st love) broke up with me!
I burned a CD of a bunch of songs and have been known to blast it when WH was over playing with DS. Here are some of my faves:
Respect, Aretha Franklin Funkytown, Lipps Inc. My Lovin' (You're Never Gonna Get it) En Vogue I Always Get My Man, Shemekia Copeland Maybe Someday Baby, Delbert McClinton **My baby told me such a long time ago, she said, your gonna' miss me some day. Now my baby told me once you are gone, your gonna' wish you had stayed**
Please Don't Go, KC & The Sunshine Band Don't Leave Me This Way, Thelma Houston Slippin' Out, Slippin' In, Buddy Guy **I got a new way of wearin' my hair This big smile on my face You didn't put it there Oh baby You just go right back out there where you've been 'Cause while you were slippin' out Someone else was slippin' in I said while you were slippin' out Someone else was slippin' in I said while you were slippin' out Oh someone else was slippin' in I said while you were slippin' out Someone else was slippin' in ***
Me/BS 48 Married 16 yrs/together 23; 1 child Dday 4/05; WH "needed space" and left 5/05 WH Filed D papers 6/05 - Divorce final 12/05 WH moved in with OW 11/05; moved out OW 1/06 12/06 His 3rd and strongest attempt at reconcilliation (I believe OW still in picture) 2/07 Affair over, begging me to take him back - it's too late.

Re: RESPECT
Are y'all aware that this song was originally written by a guy, about his relationship with his wife?

I didn't know that about Respect. I just read the lyrics and it makes sense that it would be written by a man. You see, you learn something new every day!

My favorite song during the days prior to the dd and after dd, while experiencing rollercoaster emotions, was Dixie Chick's, "Wide Open Spaces",
I took many car drives through the mountains before and after immediate dd, listening to this song, turned up full blast, driving incredibly fast through winding roads.
Those were my liberating moments of feeling anger over his treatment of me.
The hurting moments were of me, listening to Bonnie Raitt, singing "I can't make you love me, If you don't"
And if I was really feeling blue, I would pop in Barry Manilow.
In the end, I have nothing to lose but everything to gain, by trying to save my marriage.

Nikko, Boy you made me laugh! Thanks...
2long....yap, that fits so with a WS...know that song...
There are a lot of country songs I listen to now...they are filled with stories that hit home....
There is that one "She let herself go" that I like....and some others....I'll think of their names and be back!
Oh, yah, LOVE I will survive....I actually bought it when my best friend found out her H was having an A. Now I play it a lot....

EAGLES LYRICS
"Desperado"
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses? You been out ridin' fences for so long now Oh, you're a hard one I know that you got your reasons These things that are pleasin' you Can hurt you somehow
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy She'll beat you if she's able You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet
Now it seems to me, some fine things Have been laid upon your table But you only want the ones that you can't get
Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no younger Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home And freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some people talkin' Your prison is walking through this world all alone
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time? The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine It's hard to tell the night time from the day You're losin' all your highs and lows Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses? Come down from your fences, open the gate It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you You better let somebody love you, before it's too late
