Lyrically Speaking - Day 1
2/9/2026

Welcome back to Lyrically Speaking.

Let's start things off with a list of songs that all have titles with a first person point of view.

I think everyone can figure it out quickly. I know everyone can do it. I give everyone 1 point for title. I give everyone 1 point for artist.

1- Whoa, yes, I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to, I can do anything

2- I think I can make it now, the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I've been prayin' for

3- I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Where a moment spent with you is a moment I treasure

4- Well I'm New York City born and raised
But nowadays
I'm lost between two shores
L.A.'s fine, but it ain't home
New York's home
But it ain't mine no more

5- Darling, mine
I would wait forever for those lips of wine
Build my world around you, darling
This love will shine, girl
Watch it and see
If you give a little more than you're asking for
Your love will turn the key

6- Running just as fast as we can
Holdin' onto one another's hand
Tryin' to get away into the night
And then you put your arms around me
As we tumble to the ground, and then you say

7- And you see me, somebody new
I'm not that chained-up little person still in love with you
And so you felt like droppin' in and just expect me to be free
Now I'm savin' all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me

8- One that won't make me nervous
Wondering what to do
One that makes me feel like I feel when I'm with you
When I'm alone with you

9- I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
It was cold as a stone

10- My home lies deep within you
And I've got my own place in your soul
Now when I look out through your eyes
I'm young again, even though I'm very old

11- Yeah! All around in my home town
They're tryin' to track me down, yeah
They say they want to bring me in guilty
For the killing of a deputy

12 - I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you've dreamed of
And I wish you joy and happiness
But above all this, I wish you love

Deep cuts bonus. The following three songs are less popular songs but with the same first person POV title. Two points for title, two points for artist.


13- Easy, ready, willin', overtime
Where does it stop?
Where do you dare me
To draw the line?
You've got the body
Now you want my soul
What time do

14- The guilty undertaker sighs
The lonesome organ grinder cries
The silver saxophones say I should refuse you
The cracked bells and washed-out horns
Blow into my face with scorn
But it’s not that way
I wasn’t born to lose you

15- Hey, windowpane, tell me, do you remember
How sweet it used to be?
When we were together
Everything was so grand

Krox Bonus: Name another song with artist that has a first person title (contractions okay)
(2 points)

Image bonus: Show me that the "I"s have it
(5 points)

7- And you see me, somebody new
I'm not that chained-up little person still in love with you
And so you felt like droppin' in and just expect me to be free
Now I'm savin' all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me

8- One that won't make me nervous
Wondering what to do
One that makes me feel like I feel when I'm with you
When I'm alone with you

9- I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
It was cold as a stone

10- My home lies deep within you
And I've got my own place in your soul
Now when I look out through your eyes
I'm young again, even though I'm very old

11- Yeah! All around in my home town
They're tryin' to track me down, yeah
They say they want to bring me in guilty
For the killing of a deputy

12 - I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you've dreamed of
And I wish you joy and happiness
But above all this, I wish you love

Deep cuts bonus. The following three songs are less popular songs but with the same first person POV title. Two points for title, two points for artist.


13- Easy, ready, willin', overtime
Where does it stop?
Where do you dare me
To draw the line?
You've got the body
Now you want my soul
What time do

14- The guilty undertaker sighs
The lonesome organ grinder cries
The silver saxophones say I should refuse you
The cracked bells and washed-out horns
Blow into my face with scorn
But it’s not that way
I wasn’t born to lose you

15- Hey, windowpane, tell me, do you remember
How sweet it used to be?
When we were together
Everything was so grand

Krox Bonus: Name another song with artist that has a first person title (contractions okay)
(2 points)

Image bonus: Show me that the "I"s have it
(5 points)

Lyrically Speaking - Day 1
2/9/2026

Welcome back to Lyrically Speaking.

Let's start things off with a list of songs that all have titles with a first person point of view.

I think everyone can figure it out quickly. I know everyone can do it. I give everyone 1 point for title. I give everyone 1 point for artist.

1- Whoa, yes, I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to, I can do anything

I am Woman -- Helen Reddy

2- I think I can make it now, the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I've been prayin' for

I Can See Clearly Now -- Johnny Nash

3- I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Where a moment spent with you is a moment I treasure

I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing -- Aerosmith

4- Well I'm New York City born and raised
But nowadays
I'm lost between two shores
L.A.'s fine, but it ain't home
New York's home
But it ain't mine no more

I am, I Said -- Neil Diamond

5- Darling, mine
I would wait forever for those lips of wine
Build my world around you, darling
This love will shine, girl
Watch it and see
If you give a little more than you're asking for
Your love will turn the key

I Just Wanna Be Your Everything -- The BeeGees

6- Running just as fast as we can
Holdin' onto one another's hand
Tryin' to get away into the night
And then you put your arms around me
As we tumble to the ground, and then you say

I Think We're Alone Now -- Tiffany

7- And you see me, somebody new
I'm not that chained-up little person still in love with you
And so you felt like droppin' in and just expect me to be free
Now I'm savin' all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me

I Will Survive -- Gloria Gaynor

8- One that won't make me nervous
Wondering what to do
One that makes me feel like I feel when I'm with you
When I'm alone with you

I Want a New Drug -- Huey Lewis and the News

9- I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
It was cold as a stone

I still Haven't Found what I'm Looking for -- U2

10- My home lies deep within you
And I've got my own place in your soul
Now when I look out through your eyes
I'm young again, even though I'm very old

I Write the Songs -- Barry Manilow

11- Yeah! All around in my home town
They're tryin' to track me down, yeah
They say they want to bring me in guilty
For the killing of a deputy

I Shot the Sheriff -- Eric Clapton

12 - I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you've dreamed of
And I wish you joy and happiness
But above all this, I wish you love

I Will always Love You -- Whitney Houston

Deep cuts bonus. The following three songs are less popular songs but with the same first person POV title. Two points for title, two points for artist.


13- Easy, ready, willin', overtime
Where does it stop?
Where do you dare me
To draw the line?
You've got the body
Now you want my soul
What time do

I Cant' go for That -- Hall and Oates

14- The guilty undertaker sighs
The lonesome organ grinder cries
The silver saxophones say I should refuse you
The cracked bells and washed-out horns
Blow into my face with scorn
But it’s not that way
I wasn’t born to lose you

I Want You -- Bob Dylan

15- Hey, windowpane, tell me, do you remember
How sweet it used to be?
When we were together
Everything was so grand

Nope

Pretty happy that I don't get any credit for knowing what drug uses this in their advert, because I can't remember it. I think it's for psoriasis, or something...

3- I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Where a moment spent with you is a moment I treasure

Holdin' onto one another's hand
Tryin' to get away into the night
And then you put your arms around me
As we tumble to the ground, and then you say

I Think We're Alone Now - Tommy James and the Shondells

Anybody saying Tiffany gets Justin F'in Bieber points and tossed in the bin at the abandoned mall in the suburbs...

7- And you see me, somebody new
I'm not that chained-up little person still in love with you
And so you felt like droppin' in and just expect me to be free
Now I'm savin' all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me

I WIll Survive - Gloria Gaynor

8- One that won't make me nervous
Wondering what to do
One that makes me feel like I feel when I'm with you
When I'm alone with you

9- I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
It was cold as a stone

And I've got my own place in your soul
Now when I look out through your eyes
I'm young again, even though I'm very old

You already knew...

12 - I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you've dreamed of
And I wish you joy and happiness
But above all this, I wish you love

Dolly, and only Dolly. Trust me, you don't want to get tossed into the Tiffany bin...

Deep cuts bonus. The following three songs are less popular songs but with the same first person POV title. Two points for title, two points for artist.

One of the best singers ever, and I will fight you on that...
