Nobody does it better as made famous by Carly Simon

Written by Marvin Hamlisch and Carole Bayer Sager

Nobody does it better,
Makes me feel sad for the rest,
Nobody does it half as good as you,
Baby you're the best.

I wasn't looking,
but somehow you found me,
I tried to hide from your lovelight ,
but like heaven above me,
the spy who loved me,
is keeping all my secrets safe tonight.

And nobody does it better,
Though sometimes I wish someone could,
Nobody does it quite the way you do,
Why d'you have to be so good?.

The way that you hold me,
whenever you hold me,
There's some kind of magic inside you,
that keeps me from runnning,
but just keep it coming,
how'd you learn to do the things you do.

And nobody does it better,
makes me feel sad for the rest,
nobody does it half as good as you,
baby, baby,
darling you're the best,
baby you're the best.

Gettin in the way by Jill Scott

You're gettin in the way of what i'm feelin (x2)

Sista Gurl, I know you don't understand, 
but you gon' have to understand he's my man now.
What you had is gone. Our thing is sweet.
Our thing is stronger than any lie you can tell on me.
He knows my heart. And thats a part.
Ya roots are dug up so you might as well give up.
I see your intentions. You can't handle the truth.
He let you go a long time ago now it's time to turn him loose.

Chorus:
You're gettin in the way of what I'm feelin.
x4

Sugar honey gurl, fly fly away.

Suddenly I see by KT Tunstall

Her face is a map of the world
Is a map of the world
You can see she’s a beautiful girl
She’s a beautiful girl
And everything around her is a silver pool of light 
People who surround her feel the benefit of it 
It makes you calm
She’ll hold you captivated in her palm

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I want to be 
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me (Suddenly I see)
This is what I want to be

I feel like walking the world 
Like walking the world
You can hear she’s a beautiful girl
She’s a beautiful girl 
She fills up every corner like she’s born in black and white
Makes you feel warmer when you’re trying to remember what you heard
She likes to leave you hanging on her word 

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I want to be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me (Suddenly I see)
This is what I want to be 
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me 

And she’s taller than most and she’s looking at me
I can see her eyes looking from the page of a magazine
She makes me feel like I could be a tower 
Big strong tower yeah

The power to be 
The power to give 
The power to see 
Yeah

Good Girl by Vanessa Marquez

You just lost a good girl
good girl good girl
a good girl
you lost today
from such a good thing
good girl good girl
from such a good thing
you walked away

[Verse 1]
Thought I was your guiding light
your angel what did I know

was prepared to sacrifice my halo
I was bugging out

everybody come to me
telling me the things they seen
your girlfriend live for the lime light
but that's alright if thats what you like

You just lost a good girl
good girl good girl
a good girl
you lost today
from such a good thing
good girl good girl
from such a good thing
you walked away

[Verse 2]
How could mistake us having sex with making love
inside I'll never know
how can I believe you knew what real love was
It's real I said is so
everybody come to me
telling me the things they seen
your girlfriend live for the lime light
but that's alright if thats what you like

You just lost a good girl
good girl good girl
a good girl
you lost today
from such a good thing
good girl good girl
from such a good thing
you walked away

[Bridge]
I reminisce to that moment
you held me close
said we could rewrite history
so how could you blow it

song has no notes so what will the angel sing?
guess nothing

[Verse 3]
Thought I was over my life's biggest hurdle
but o no no no
it seems destinies arranges circles that's how it goes
everybody come to me
telling me the things they seen
your girlfriend live for the lime light
but that's alright if that's what you like

You just lost a good girl
good girl good girl
a good girl
you lost today
from such a good thing
good girl good girl
from such a good thing
you walked away

Not really a jealous girl
my heart open doors to a place you can walk through
more precious than any girl
darling your best friend
someone you can talk to

so I'm single now...

Sitting Waiting, Wishing by Jack Johnson

Well I was sitting, waiting, wishing
You believed in superstitions
Then maybe you'd see the signs

The Lord knows that this world is cruel
I ain't the Lord, no I'm just a fool
Learning lovin' somebody don't make them love you

Must I always be waiting, waiting on you
Must I always be playing, playing your fool

I sang your songs, I danced your dance
I gave your friends all a chance
But putting up with them
Wasn't worth never having you

Maybe you've been through this before
But it's my first time so please ignore
The next few lines cause they're directed at you

I can't always be waiting, waiting on you
I can't always be playing, playing your fool

I keep playing your part
But it's not my scene
Want this plot to twist
I've had enough mystery
Keep building it up
Then shooting me down
But I'm already down

Just wait a minute
Just sitting, waiting
Just wait a minute
Just sitting, waiting

Well, if I was in your position
I'd put down all my ammunition
I'd wonder why'd it taken me so long

But Lord knows that I'm not you
And if I was, I wouldn't be so cruel
Cause waitin' on love aint so easy to do

Must I always be waiting, waiting on you
Must I always be playing, playing your fool

No, I can't I always be waiting, waiting on you
I can't always be playing, playing your fool

Tell it Like it Is by Aaron Neville

so my feeling at this moment... I'm so over it...

If you want something to play with
Go and find yourself a toy
Baby my time is too expensive
And I'm not a little boy

If you are serious
Don't play with my heart
It makes me furious
But if you want me to love you
Then a baby I will, girl you know that I will

Tell it like it is
Don't be ashamed , let your conscience be your guide
But I know deep down inside me
I believe you love me, forget your foolish pride

Life is too short to have sorrow
You may be here today and gone tomorrow
You might as well get what you want
So go on and live, baby go on and live

Tell it like it is
I'm nothing to play with
Go and find yourself a toy
But I... Tell it like it is
My time is too expensive and I'm not your little boy

More Than a Woman by Aaliyah

Passion, Instant
Sweat me, Feel me
Cupid's shot me
My heartbeat's racing
Tempt me, Drive me
Feels so exiting
Thought of highly
It's yours entirely

I'll be
I'll be more than a lover
More than a woman
More than your lover
I'll be
I'll be more than another
More than a woman
More than another
I'll be
(I'll be more) More than your lover
(More) More than a woman
(More) More than your lover
I'll be
(I'll be more) More than a lover
(More) More than a woman
(More) More than another

Midnight grindin'
My heartrate's climbin'
You go, I go
Cause we share pillows
Taste me, Feed me
There's still no separating
Morning massages
With new bones in your closet

I'll be
I'll be more than a lover
More than a woman
More than your lover
I said i'll be
I'll be
I'll be more than another
More than a woman
More than another
I'll be
(I'll be more) More than your lover
(More) More than a woman
(More) More than your lover
I'm gonna be
(I'll be more) More than a lover
(More) More than a woman
(More) More than another

I don't think your ready
I don't think your ready for this thing
For this thing
I don't think your ready for this thing
You're Not Ready
I don't think your ready for this thing
This thing, This thing
I don't think your ready for this thing

Constant pressures
No scale can measure
Secret treasures
Keeps on getting better
Do you wanna roll with me?
We can go to foreign lands
Your hand in my hand
Do you wanna ride with me?
We can be like Bonnie & Clyde
Be by your side

I'll be more than a lover
More than a woman
More than your lover
I'll be more than another
More than a woman
More than another
(I'll be more) More than your lover
(More) More than a woman
(More) More than your lover
(I'll be more) more than a lover
(More) More than a woman
(More) More than another

Now it Can Be Told by Ella Fitzgerald

All the world's great lovers have been glorified
History placed them in a romantic set
In between book covers they are side by side
But the real thing hasn't been written yet

Now it can be told
Told in all it's glory
Now that we have met
The world may know the sentimental story

The greatest romance they ever knew
Is waiting to
Unfold

Now it can be told
As an inspiration
Every other tale
Of boy meets girl is just an imitation

The great love story
Has never been told before
But now
Now it can be told

Gone Too Soon by Michael Jackson

Never forget them. Normally I don't reference the other blog but please take a look at my reflection
on this National Day of Remembrance.

Blazing 'Cross The Evening Sky
Gone Too Soon

Like A Rainbow
Fading In The Twinkling Of An Eye
Gone Too Soon

Shiny And Sparkly
And Splendidly Bright
Here One Day
Gone One Night

Like The Loss Of Sunlight
On A Cloudy Afternoon
Gone Too Soon

Like A Castle
Built Upon A Sandy Beach
Gone Too Soon

Like A Perfect Flower
That Is Just Beyond Your Reach
Gone Too Soon

Born To Amuse, To Inspire, To Delight
Here One Day
Gone One Night

Like A Sunset
Dying With The Rising Of The Moon
Gone Too Soon

Gone Too Soon

But times get tough and there you go
Out the door, you wanna run again
Open your arms and you'll come back in
Wanna run cause you say your afraid, afraid

Never knew what a friendship was
Never knew how to really love
You can't be what I need you to
And I don't know why i fuck with you

I know our love will never be the same
But I can't stand the growing pains

Flashing Lights - Kanye West

I'm still upset you canceled your concert at Georgia Southern...

Flashing lights, lights
Flashing lights, lights
Flashing lights, lights
Flashing lights, lights

[Kanye West]
She don't believe in shootin' stars,
but she believe in shoes & cars
Wood floors in the new apartment,
couture from the store's department
You more like L'eau de Stardee ****,
I'm more of the, trips to Florida
Order the h'orderves, views of the Water
Straight from the page of your favorite author
And the weather so breezy,
man why can't life always be this easy
She in the mirror dancing so sleazy,
I get a call like where are you Yeezy
Try to hit you with a 'Oeur de Whopee'
Till I get flashed by the paparazzi
Damn, these n****'s got me,
I hate these n****'s more than the Nazis

[Dwele]
As I recall, I know you love to show off
But I never thought that you would take it this far
What do I know? Flashing lights, lights
What do I know? Flashing lights, lights

[Kanye West]
I know it's been a while,
Sweetheart, we hard-ly talk, I was doing my thing
I know I was foul bay-bay,
a-bay late-ly you been all on my brain,
And if somebody would've told me a month ago
Fronting though, yo I wouldn't wanna know
If somebody would've told me a year ago
it'd go, get this difficult
Feeling like Katrina with no fema
Like Martin with no Gina
Like a flight with no visa
First class with the seat back I still see ya
In my past, you on the other side of the glass
Of my memory's museum,
I'm just saying, Hey Mona Lisa,
come home you know you can't Rome without Caesar

[Dwele]
As I recall, I know you love to show off
But I never thought that you would take it this far
What do I know? Flashing lights, lights
What do I know? Flashing lights, lights

As you recall, you know I love to show off
But you never thought that I would take it this far
What do you know? Flashing lights, lights
What do you know? Flashing lights, lights

Flashing lights, lights
Flashing lights, lights

[Fade out]
Lights, lights, lights, lights...
