Lyrically Speaking - Day 6
2/16/2026

Second Person Songs

We are on to titles with second person point of view.

You will figure it out quickly. You know you can do it. You get 1 point for title You get 1 point for artist


1- You don't have to prove to me you're beautiful to strangers
I've got loving eyes of my own

2- Working double time on the seduction line
She's one of a kind, she's just mine, all mine
Wanted no applause, it's just another course
Made a meal outta me, and come back for more

3- But she wears short skirts, I wear T-shirts
She's Cheer Captain, and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time

4- He ducked back down the alley with some, uh
Roly-poly little bat-faced girl
All along, along, there were incidents and accidents
There were hints and allegations

5- On a night when bad dreams become a screamer
When they're messin' with the dreamer, I can laugh it in the face

6- You never close your eyes anymore
When I kiss your lips
And there's no tenderness like before
In your fingertips

7- I met a devil woman
She took my heart away
She said I had it coming to me
But I wanted it that way

8- Nobody knows where you're going
Nobody cares where you've been

9- Woah, you're a loaded gun, yeah
Oh, there's nowhere to run
No one can save me, the damage is done

10- Any jobber got the sack
Monday morning, turning back
Yellow lorry slow, nowhere to go
But oh, that magic feeling, nowhere to go
Oh, that magic feeling, nowhere to go

11- And I went down to the demonstration
To get my fair share of abuse
Singing, "We're gonna vent our frustration
If we don't, we're going to blow a 50-amp fuse"
Sing it to me, honey

12- And I'm here, to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair, to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me

Krox bonus: Name another song with artist that has a title with Second Person point of view.

Image Bonus: Show me what make "YOU" special

Funny -- I got a point I totally don't deserve for the first one. When I was singing You Belong to me for the first one, I was hearing Michael McDonald's voice in my head. After I submitted and read through other people's answers, I dope-slapped myself and wrote that one off. What I was hearing in my head was the wretched "Yah Mo be There", which has a similar chord structure and tempo, and which isn't even a Doobie Brothers tune-- it's a duet between McDonald and James Ingram. Then when you gave me a point for it, I looked it up and discovered that the Doobies did indeed record it, even before Carly.

But I definitely don't deserve that point.

The song was co-written by Simon and McDonald. Doobies recorded it in 1977 and Simon the next year. Take your point and maybe hit a casino first chance you get.
