I Love Lyrics

Kay_G

I call your name by the mamas and papas

Here is an easy one I think:

If the sky above you should turn dark and full of clouds 

And that old north wind should begin to blow

Momof2inME

You've Got A Friend - James Taylor

I see myself within your eyes and that's all I need to show me why.

Everything I do always takes me home to you, ever and ever

Mini1

Whenever I Call You Friend, Kenny Loggins

If a man ever needed dying he did
No one had a right to say what he said about you

bride

Indiana Wants Me by R.Dean Taylor (BTW, the line "if a man ever needed dying, he did" was borrowed from William Blake.)

I come home in the morning light

My mother says when you gonna live your life right?

Oh, mother dear, we're not the fortunate ones....

Girls Just Want To Have Fun by Cindy Lauper

You know I can't afford to buy her pearls

But maybe someday when my ship comes in 

she'll understand what kind of guy I've been

badger

Uptown Girl - Billy Joel

The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares

Kay_G

Downtown by Petula Clark, Good one!

And I dream of the things I'll do

With a subway token and a dollar tucked inside my shoe

badger

Rhinestone Cowboy - Glen Campbell

But they're dead wrong, I know they are
'Cause I can play this here guitar
And I won't quit till I'm a star

Kay_G

On Broadway

This one may be a little harder:

High and dry, out of the rain

It's so easy to hurt others when you can't feel pain

And don't you know that a love can't grow

Cause there's too much to give cause you'd rather live

For the thrill of it all, Oh

badger

I can hear them sing it - Rich Girl - Hall & Oates

Well I met a man out in Hollywood / Now I ain't naming names
Well he really worked me over good / Just like Jesse James
Yes he really worked me over good /  He was a credit to his gender
Put me through some changes Lord /  Sort of like a Waring blender

badger

Poor Poor Pitiful Me - Warren Zevon, Linda Ronstadt

Then she lets her hair hang down
And she makes me glad that I'm a man
Oh, no one knows what goes on ______ ______ _____

Behind Closed Doors

Another country song:

He reached above the fireplace, and took down his daddy's picture.

As tears fell on his daddy's face, he heard these words again.

Mini1

Here's an easy one:

You've given me a true love
And every day I thank you, love

badger

But it's all right now

You see, ya can't please everyone
So ya got to please yourself

bride

Garden Party ~ Ricky Nelson or John Fogerty

All the things that we've been through

You should understand me like I understand you

Now girl I know the difference between right and wrong

I ain't gonna do nothing to break up our happy home

badger

If You Don't Know Me By Now - Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes

I've got a fever rising with desire
It's my love jones and I feel like I'm on fire

bride

Keep on Trucking, either Eddie Kendricks or the Temps

I rode my bicycle past your window last night
I roller skated to your door at daylight
It almost seems like you're avoiding me
I'm okay alone but you got something I need

Mini1

Brand New Key - Melanie

These are the eyes
That never knew how to smile till you came into my life

And these are the arms
That long to lock you inside every day and every night

bride

Show and Tell ~ Al Wilson

Childhood living is easy to do

The things you wanted I bought them for you

Graceless lady you know who I am
You know I can't let you slide through my hands

badger

Wild Horses - Stones

Mini1, your clue reminded me of this song:

The hurtin's on me, yeah
But I will never be free, no, my baby, no, no
You gave a promise to me, yeah
And you broke it, you broke it, oh, no

Mini1

I love that song! These Eyes, Guess who.

Spending my day thinkin' 'bout you girl
Being here with you, being near with you
I can't explain myself

badger

another great song - I'm Still In Love With You by Al Green

Tumble outta bed and I stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
And yawnin', stretchin', try to come to life

Kay_G

9 to 5 by Dolly Parton

He talks about you in his sleep

There's nothing I can do to keep

From crying when he calls your name ______

Jolene - also Dolly Parton  (love her)

A year has passed since I wrote my note
But I should have known this right from the start
Only hope can keep me together
Love can mend your life
But love can break your heart

Momof2inME

Message In A Bottle - Police

Bells will be ringing the sad, sad news

Just for a moment I was back at school

And felt that old familiar pain

Mini1

I was going to use that one! Same Old Lang Syne, Dan Fogelberg.

Like Howdy Do
Your tin soldiers your clowns too
They're all laughing at you

bride

How Could I Let You Get Away ~ Spinners

I can see you're disappointed

By the wat you look at me

And I'm sorry that I'm not

The woman you thought I'd be

bride

The last one was Dolly Parton's Just Because I'm A Woman

This one is from a Btitish woman making her final world tour.

I am not in love

But I'm open to persuasion

East or west, where's the best

For romancing?
