… Until then I’ll be playing the waiting game

Swing Out Sister – Waiting Game

I’ve spent too much time waiting for you in vain
I can’t hear your voice although I call your name
I can’t go on but I still hang on just the same
I’ve spent endless nights crying your name out loud but still remain alone in an empty crowd
As time goes on I realize you’ll never change
I say a prayer, I count the hours, I hear a voice but it’s not yours
I count the score, I can’t go on playing the waiting game

If you should ever change your mind, I’ll be there just call my name
Until then I’ll be playing the waiting game

I’ve waited too long wishing my life away convincing myself tomorrow you’d change your ways
I can’t go on but I still hang on just the same
I say a prayer, I count the hours, I hear a voice but it’s not yours
I count the score, I can’t go on playing the waiting game

All you left me with emptiness, now everyday seems the same
You’ve gone but I’m still playing the waiting game

If you should ever change your mind, I’ll be there just call my name
Until then I’ll be playing the waiting game

I’ve waited too long for you to change your ways
Playing the waiting game
All you left me with emptiness, now everyday seems the same
You’ve gone but I’m still playing the waiting game

If you should ever change your mind, I’ll be there just call my name
Until then I’ll be playing the waiting game

Kathy Troccoli- If I’m Not In Love

If I’m not in love with you, what is this I’m going through tonight?
And if this heart is lying, then what should I believe in?
Why do I go crazy every time I think about you baby?
Why else do I want you like I do If I’m not in love with you?

And if I don’t need your touch, why do I miss you so much tonight?
If it’s just infatuation then why is my heart achin’ to hold you forever? 
Give a part of me I thought I’d never give again to someone I could lose 
If I’m not in love with you 

Oh why in every fantasy do I feel your arms embracing me like lovers lost in sweet desire?
And why in dreams do I surrender like a little baby?
How do I explain this feeling, someone tell me 

If I’m not in love with you, what is this I’m going through tonight?
And if this heart is lying, then what should I believe in?
Why do I go crazy every time I think about you baby?
Why else do I want you like I do, If I’m not in love with 
If I’m not in love with, if I’m not in love with you.

I heard this on The Singing Bee :)

The Best Of Me- Olivia Newton-John & David Foster

So many years gone, still I remember
How did I ever let my heart believe
In one who never gave enough to me
And so many years gone, a love that was so wrong
And I can’t forget the way it used to be

You were my one more chance I never thought I’d find
You were the one romance I’ve always known in my mind
No one will ever touch me more
I only hope that in return
I might’ve saved the best of me for you

And we’ll have no ending, no no
If we can hold on
And I think I’ve come this far because of you
Could be no other love but ours will do

You were my one more chance I never thought I’d find
You were the one romance I’ve always known in my mind
No one will ever touch me more
I only hope that in return
I might’ve saved the best of me for you

No one will ever touch me more
I only hope that in return
No matter how much we have to learn
I’ve saved the best of me for you

Waves and the both of us

Ok, I know I’ve been posting a lot of songs lately… but this one is really appropriate for * too. Good thing I recommended it to him for download today…

———-

Waves And The Both Of Us – Charlotte Sometimes

I want the moon and the stars, I want the whole nine yards
I want your hands on my hips, I want you kissing my lips

I want the moon and the stars, I want the whole nine yards
I take off your shirt, you pull up my skirt

But I can’t wait forever, boy

And the moon and the stars and the look in your eyes better find its way, into me
And your skin on my skin, the bones that we’re in better slide your way into me

I want the moon and the stars, I want the whole nine yards
I want your hands on my waist there’s no need to wait

I want the dance of the air, run your hands through my hair
Releasing your breath as I undress

But I can’t wait forever, boy

And the moon and the stars and the look in your eyes better find its way, into me
And your skin on my skin, the bones that we’re in better slide your way into me

I didn’t realize that the lyrics to this song were actually very appropriate! Nevertheless I liked the song when I heard it for its melody and angsty but sweety melody. Anyway I downloaded the entire Charlotte Sometimes album, and I really like it! It’s got a boyish, angsty vibe… maybe a cross between Katy Perry and Sara Bareilles… or maybe Fiona Apple?

That’s what you get when you let your heart win

This was my song probably 4 years ago! 

Paramore- That’s What You Get

No sir, well I don’t wanna be the blame, not anymore.
It’s your turn, to take a seat we’re settling the final score.
And why do we like to hurt, so much?

I can’t decide
You have made it harder just to go on
And why?
All the possibilities…
Well I was wrong

That’s what you get when you let your heart win. Whoa!
That’s what you get when you let your heart win. Whoa…
I drown out all my sense with the sound of its beating.
And that’s what you get when you let your heart win. Whoa.

I wonder, how am I supposed to feel when you’re not here.
‘Cause I burned every bridge I ever built when you were here.
I still try… holding onto silly things, I never learn.
Oh why? All the possibilities. I’m sure you’ve heard.

That’s what you get when you let your heart win. Whoa!
That’s what you get when you let your heart win. Whoa..
I drown out all my sense with the sound of its beating.
And that’s what you get when you let your heart win. Whoa.

Pain, make your way to me. (to me)
And I’ll always be just so inviting.
If I ever start to think straight,
This heart will start a riot in me,
Let’s start… Start, hey!

Why do we like to hurt so much?
Oh why do we like to hurt so much?

That’s what you get when you let your heart win!
Whoa.

That’s what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
That’s what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.

Now I can’t trust myself with anything but this,
And that’s what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.

80’s backtrack… now on perpetual repeat

I recently heard this song on videoke and I loved it. Now I downloaded it and it’s on perpetual repeat!

Suddenly- Cliff Richard & Olivia Newton-John

This next one is a videoke classic. I sing it everytime! The most memorable one was with * when he grabbed the mic and we had to sing it together.

Always- Atlantic Starr

Throw it to the universe

If the bad, disappointing, unpleasant things happening to me right now are an indication that what’s to come will only be better…

Then by all means, KEEP THEM COMING.
