Sample of Week 3 - Other Lyrics Submissions

What's the talk of love being forever?
I've found it never stays,
And I've tried to find a way.
Once I've reached the peak of my happiness, 
I lose myself, and you.

I'm sick and tired of everything coming undone
I'm all about partying and having fun.

CHORUS: 
I can't help how I'm falling for you.
Where do we go from here?
What do you want me to do?
It's a typical thing, I can't help the way I am, in my heart.
It's all about you...

You're like a rollercoaster, up and down.
Almost predictable at times, so it goes around till you say "stop."
I tend to lose the faith sometimes, 
Getting all worked up over nothing. Yeah..

And now I'm here with you on my mind.
And I know that it'll all come with time.

Chorus 2x
 

Looking in her eyes
I see the One I long to be
And to my surprise
She gives her love after knowing me for me

For reasons unexplained
She meets with much adversity
But she smiles when she says
That she still loves Him so much more than me

People ask me why
Why I think that we will stand the test of time
All I know is it's not up to you or I
But it rests within the One who gives us life

I hold her in my arms
As we gaze into the rolling sea
And we talk to Jesus
Thanking Him for answering our dreams
 

swamp gas hung on the moon
like a stoolie from a meat hook
she cued up slow in a low cut blouse
daring me to look
lotsa deer have been lost
out in Seminole Slough
rabid dogs and panthers chase 'em in
and then they go down, too
before I even saw her
I'd picked up on her scent
I followed her out the alley door
and then down I went
she had a tiny cottage
on an old riverside farm
with a fan boat on the water
and a  bi-plane in the barn
I should've been suspicious
while she was mixing drinks
there were law books on her hide-a-bed
and whiskers in her sink
the gun in the hollow Bible
Seconal in the highball
the string of black pearls in the floor safe
the collar up corner phone call
I said I was a patsy
a  knot in a twisted plot
the clock froze tight when they cuffed me
and time began to clot
there was the plane and the boat
but both had disappeared
leaving me, a broad with a broken neck
and a noose brassiere
with death on the table
my lawyer told me to confess
I'd get life and maybe with remorse
I'd be out in less
one reporter sniffed around
when the cameras had moved on
history sticks to southern towns  
after the story's gone
sold my version to his mag
one cop saying it was true
vultures land safely on the quicksands
of Seminole Slough 
 

Yo.. get it right from jump 
Doc tapin on debate for months
I got zits on your face that can't wait to bump
Boogie Down to the point I barricade the Bronx
Papi spins the rhymes through your opti-lens, check it
It's five below, my brain is cold
Runny nose evey time Doc exchange a blow
My street team snipe the block up like Rob Lowe
Bodega liquor store, I'm dead in the window
PPP symbol got FBI on lookout
Strip the dirty clothes, hit a 118 cookout
I woof out, son you better buckle in
I write the madness, got ink foamin at the pen
I tear a ligament when I spit it in the wind
I got so much game I can Con Edison
Yeah chicken stand by for exposure
Shut your house down foreclosure ya in cold blood
(Yo cuz)  Shut the power out in your house
Cut the phone put a sock in your mouth, let da monkey out

Yo Yo!
Is fundoc in the house?  
(One time)
Form a line, jack ya, then pawn the shine
Stay there, runnin with more kids than daycare
One shot prove it ain't nuttin but weight here
When he lands flat I'm the minivan
with Lil' Cease, runnin cities like Geechie Dan
When Richie Cunningham was O.P. I was low-key
Airing homies that was more square than my gold teeth
My appetite for destruction is to hustle
All the cottonmouth'll turnbuckle when I rustle
Mr. Tough Guy on the side, I mess him up too
Slam him, when I bark I marked his Buchanan

Yo, New York brothaz in the house?
Yo yo yo.. is Jersey brothaz in the house?
Yo yo, I hold fort with a quart of Olde E from Newark
I tell lies under oath if it please the court
Supreme force, in the swamps with the green moss
Bug repellant suit, bustin machines off
 

Verse 1:
I'm tired of being alone
You never call me on the phone
You get mad when I just hang at home
But when I say Im going to work
You say 'no' then your such a jerk
So what do you want me to do?
Stay here and waite for you?
No, I'm leaving so forget you

Chorus:
Sitting here looking in your eyes
Now everything I'm saying is true
I just don't want to be with you
You treated me so bad
But I was always truthfull to you

Verse 2:
From the start
I knew you would steal my heart
You seemed like that type of guy
It was nice, what we had in the past
Then I found out how you really were
You thought that we were just a fad
You gave up some of what you had
But everytime you went out
You played me over and over again
Why werent you truthfull to me?

Chorus

Verse 3:
So why was that
Everytime you wanted me
I was there or else
With you for a minute or by myself
I was so lonley all the time
You said you would be there at a drop of a dime
But where were you everytime I tried?
For granteed is what you took of me
So just let me be

Chorus

Chorus:
Love me 
I'm begging you
Touch me
The way you do
Use your hands use your tongue
You know you're the only one
Who can shake me
Baby I want you to take me
You don't have to trust me just
Love me

You say I shouldn't beg
Well what do you expect
I've been dropping hints for you to make a move
But you haven't yet
What do I have to do
I know you want it too
So

Repeat Chorus

I can hardly take it
I don't know why you're waiting
Do I have to spell it for you
I thought you were smart
Maybe you don't have the heart
To see this through
I know you want it too

Repeat Chorus

I can't help it
You know it's so good
Since the first time I felt it
I really wish you would

Repeat Chorus
 

I'm gonna ask this once
is there only us two
'cause baby I think
that you have someone new
But I can tell you
he's nothing like me
and that's the only way
that it could be

I wanna stop this crazy game
that you're playing with my heart
You gotta quit the crazy talk
of tearing the two of us apart

chorus:
Baby, you can't change anything
even if you leave me
I'm still gonna love you
your love I wanna be
Girl you're the fire in my soul
without you I'm gonna blow

Baby don't go, 'cause
you're the light in my mind
I know that you know
that you're one of a kind
Everything you do
has a deep meaning
Girl I can't stop you
I'm just a human being

chorus - repeat

I know you're planning to leave me
baby I can see it too clearily
I thought I could fix my life
then I could make you my wife
But you wanted to do
the things your own way
you never told me
you were meant to go away
still everyday I pray
that there was a way
that I could make you stay

chorus - repeat
 

Woobie
You have the best pair
Of legs I've ever seen
Sure look good in
Flare leg jeans
Oh yeah

Magic the dog
Loves to sing this song
What can be so wrong
When you're so right?
Woobie
You are out of sight
In those flare leg jeans
Oh yeah
Don't touch me!
Don't touch me!
If you do you will see
That you will have a part of me
A part yearning to be free
Release me!
Don't touch me!
Mewt Mewt Mewt!
You look good in a two piece
Bathing suit
You look good in anything
That's why you make me sing
We will be together soon
You look like Reese Witherspoon
In those flare leg jeans
Oh yeah.
 

You tell me it's alright sometimes to be the things I hate
To love the things that kill me and to be a hypocrite
You don't give up and turn away when you hear my confessions
The only one who understands the cause of my transgressions

<chorus>
YOU
YOU MAKE ME FEEL LIKE I'VE BEEN LOST AND FOUND AGAIN
LIKE NOTHING EVER MATTERED, LIKE I COULD HAVE IT IN THE END
IF I DIDN'T KNOW BETTER, BUT YOU-- TAKE ME WITH YOU

You want me though I'm incomplete and know I'm worth your time
You save me from the consequence of unforgiven crime
You tell me I don't have to cry to show you I'm in pain
You let me know my presence in your life has kept you sane
You don't ask me for things that aren't mine to give away
You know that when I leave you parts of me will always stay

<chorus>

You feel me breathing once for every twice that you inhale
You know that though I shatter I am anything but frail
You mistake my inconsistency for enigmatic charm
You keep me in your mind after my body's left your arms
You shelter me from all my self-incarcerating doubt
You take me deep inside your hell and let me lead you out
You need me for both who I am and who I want to be
You know when not to let me go and when to set me free

<chorus>

Yeah, you
I'm in love with you
