What lovely choices, Di - especially the first one which I find very romantic - and it always reminds me of a special someone from the past.

Mariah Carey - we belong together.

I didn't mean it

When I said I didn't love you, so

I should have held on tight

I never shoulda let you go

I didn't know nothing

I was stupid, I was foolish

I was lying to myself

I could not fathom that I would ever

Be without your love

Never imagined I'd be

Sitting here beside myself

Cause I didn't know you

Cause I didn't know me

But I thought I knew everything

I never felt

The feeling that I'm feeling

Now that I don't hear your voice

Or have your touch and kiss your lips

Cause I don't have a choice

Oh, what I wouldn't give

To have you lying by my side

Right here, cause baby

(We belong together)

[chorus]

When you left I lost a part of me

It's still so hard to believe

Come back baby, please

Cause we belong together

Who else am I gon' lean on

When times get rough

Who's gonna talk to me on the phone

Till the sun comes up

Who's gonna take your place

There ain't nobody better

Oh, baby baby, we belong together

I can't sleep at night

When you are on my mind

Bobby Womack's on the radio

Saying to me

"If you think you're lonely now"

Wait a minute

This is too deep (too deep)

I gotta change the station

So I turn the dial

Trying to catch a break

And then I hear Babyface

"I only think of you"

And it's breaking my heart

I'm trying to keep it together

But I'm falling apart

I'm feeling all out of my element

I'm throwing things, crying

Trying to figure out

Where the hell I went wrong

The pain reflected in this song

It ain't even half of what

I'm feeling inside

I need you

Need you back in my life, baby

[chorus]

When you left I lost a part of me

It's still so hard to believe

Come back baby, please

Cause we belong together

Who else am I gon' lean on

When times get rough

Who's gonna talk to me on the phone

Till the sun comes up

Who's gonna take your place

There ain't nobody better

Oh, baby baby, we belong together, baby

[chorus]

When you left I lost a part of me

It's still so hard to believe

Come back baby, please

Cause we belong together

Who am I gonna lean on

When times get rough

Who's gonna talk to me

Till the sun comes up

Who's gonna take your place

There ain't nobody better

Oh baby, baby

We belong together

I jsut think its good song with alot of lyrics to sing along with

Another one that strikes a chord with me:

CRASH AND BURN by Savage Garden

When you feel all alone

And the world has turned it?s back on you

Give me a moment please to tame your wild wild heart

I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you

It?s hard to find relief and people can be so cold

When darkness is upon your door and you feel like you can?t take anymore

Let me be the one you call

If you jump I?ll break your fall

Lift you up and fly away with you into the night

If you need to fall apart

I can mend a broken heart

If you need to crash then crash and burn

You?re not alone

When you feel all alone

And a loyal friend is hard to find

You?re caught in a one way street

With the monsters in your head

When hopes and dreams are far away and

You feel like you can?t face the day

Let me be the one you call

If you jump I?ll break your fall

Lift you up and fly away with you into the night

If you need to fall apart

I can mend a broken heart

If you need to crash then crash and burn

You?re not alone

And there has always been heartache and pain

And when it?s over you?ll breathe again

You?ll breath again

When you feel all alone

And the world has turned it?s back on you

Give me a moment please

To tame your wild wild heart

Let me be the one you call

If you jump I?ll break your fall

Lift you up and fly away with you into the night

If you need to fall apart

I can mend a broken heart

If you need to crash then crash and burn

You?re not alone

The Smiths "Some girls are bigger than others"

From the ice-age to the dole-age

There is but one concern

I have just discovered :

Some girls are bigger than others

Some girls are bigger than others

Some girl's mothers are bigger than

Other girl's mothers

Some girls are bigger than others

Some girls are bigger than others

Some girl's mothers are bigger than

Other girl's mothers

As Anthony said to Cleopatra

As he opened a crate of ale :

"Oh, I say" /That's from a Carry on film/

Some girls are bigger than others

Some girls are bigger than others

Some girl's mothers are bigger than

Other girl's mothers

Some girls are bigger than others

Some girls are bigger than others

Some girl's mothers are bigger than

Other girl's mothers

Send me the pillow ...

The one that you dream on ...

Send me the pillow ...

The one that you dream on ...

And I'll send you mine

Some lyrics here which I find quite deep:

REVERSE SOUNDTRACK by Something For Kate

So you dance and you shuffle into the eye of the storm

Your eyes all on fire as if you've been here before

And you say it's all nothing, but tell yourself quiety

But I hear you for miles breathing differently

And when it all falls down

You won't just stand there looking at the ground

And holding your breath, holding out

So you drive 'till the water changes from blue to green

And you wait there until the wind knocks you out of your body

You can stay there forever counting the stars

Trying to separate yourself from how things are

But you know you won't get very far until it all falls down

So don't just stand there looking at the ground

And holding your breath, holding out

I love this song too, might be apt for me to sing it in the BTTB BB house!

MISUNDERSTOOD by Pete Townshend (of The Who)

Just wanna be misunderstood

Wanna be feared in my neighborhood

Just wanna be a moody man

Say things that nobody can understand

I wanna be obscure and oblique

Inscrutable and vague

So hard to pin down

I wanna leave open mouths when I speak

Want people to cry when I put them down

I wanna be either old or young

Don't like where I've ended up or where I begun

I always feel I must get things in the can

I just can't handle it the way I am

Why am I so straight and simple

People see through me like I'm made of glass

Why can't I deepen with graying temples

Am I growing out of my class

I always feel I should be somewhere else

I feel impatient like a girl on the shelf

They say that I should live sera sera

But I am such an ordinary star

Coolwalkingsmoothtalkingstraightsmokingfirestoking

Coolwalkingsmoothtalking, yeah

Just wanna be misunderstood

I wanna be feared in my neighborhood

Just wanna be a moody man

Say things that nobody can understand

Here's a blast from the past.

"Lucky me" by Bachelor Girl

I've got an ex-boyfriend who calls me up,

To blame me for his life.

I get bunches of roses, from another guy

And hate mail from his wife.

I date a stupid jerk who forgets my name,

Likes to make love while watching TV.

And some guy calls in the middle of the night,

Just so I can hear him breathe

Lucky Me,

Lucky, Lucky Me

I have everything in this whole wide world,

A girl could ever need, Lucky Me

I've got a great car,

It's a red convertible, made by Mattel.

Got a nice house in the suburbs,

With 'Hell's Angels' for neighbours as well.

I've got a scholarship for a hundred years of college

I wanna study dentistry,

But my folks just want me married,

And popping out the grand kids,

To keep them company

Chorus

Lucky, lucky little old me

I have everything in this whole wide world

A girl could ever need, Lucky Me

(Lucky Me, Lucky Me)

I think I wanna join the Hare Krishnas,

Give up all my worldly goods, cut off all my hair.

There's nothing that I have right now that brings me any joy,

When I'm shopping at the mall, can't find it anywhere.

But I've got my tamagotchi,

And I've got my wristwatch phone.

I got so many friends on the internet,

I could never be alone.

I've got just enough cash to pay a lot of tax,

But not enough to quit my job.

Got a fool's gold ring and credit card debt,

Psychiatrist for my dog.

Lucky Me

Lucky, Lucky Little Old Me

I have everything in this whole wide world

A girl could ever need, Lucky Me

"All The Things That Aren't Good About Scientology" by Something For Kate

(I have a live acoustic version where Paul says "Tom Cruise is looking down" instead of "The stars are looking down")

Hello, is anybody home

the lights were on

try and switch to manual control

but it's been on autopilot for so long

and Ive been working on the theory that

someones always worse off

and Ive been thinking

Im too young

and now what

for you

what are you going to do

can't consume slowly

too much to see

too much to read

on your bridge to O.T.

but someone, somewhere is

pushing a world around on four wheels

and tonight in your town

The stars are looking down

on you and me

and now what

for you

what are you going to do

the news comes twice a week

like a chinese whisper

not the same when it reaches me

safer to see than to be seen

safer given lines to drive

between, between, between

and it's such a small room

it's a danger

and the pictures on the wall

might mean nothing at all

but they're mine

will you notice

what will you say

what will you say

any attempt to compensate

would not go unnoticed

and Ive been thinking

Im too young for all of this

too young
