Admit it, it's one of your five favorite games in the Winter '08 LS.... Tuesday Wordplay! Each of today's songs contains a certain word in common...
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist....
1. I don't want your number (no)
I don't want to give you mine and (no)
I don't want to meet you nowhere (no)
I don't want none of your time and (no)
2. I used to be a lunatic from the gracious days
I used to feel woebegone and so restless nights
My aching heart would bleed for you to see
3. Your momma told you that you're not supposed to talk to strangers
Look in the mirror tell me do you think your life's in danger ya
4. I'm between the poles and the equator
don't send no private investigator to find me please
'less he speaks Chinese
and can dance like Astaire overseas
5. I used to be such a sweet, sweet thing
'Til they got a hold of me.
I opened doors for little old ladies,
I helped the blind to see.
6. You're talking it all sounds fair
You promise your love how much you care
I'm still listening and still unsure
Your actions are lacking, nothing is clear
7. You can build a mansion, but you just can't live in it
You're the fastest runner but you're not allowed to win
8. The cruel daylight
Brought me back to my senses
Got caught in here
Under false pretenses
9. The night was young and the moon was gold
So we both decided to take a stroll
Can you image the way I felt
I couldn't unfasten her safety belt
10. We're not indestructible, baby better get that straight
I think it's unbelievable how you give into the hands of fate
Some things are worth fighting for some feelings never die
I'm not askin' for another chance I just wanna know why
11. I didn't think much about it
til it started happening all the time
soon I was living with the fear everyday
of what might happen at night
12. A lady that I know just came from Columbia
She smiled because I did not understand
Then she held out some marijuana ha-ha
She said it was the best in all the land
