Lyrically Speaking - 2/13/17
Posted: Mon Feb 13, 2017 7:35 am
Can it be... the last week of the 2017 LSWE already? My, how time flies when you're beating your head on the desk trying to come up with new games!
So tomorrow is Valentine's Day. If ever there was an occasion that more deserved a hearty "Bah, humbug!" I don't know what it would be. In honor of the stupidest holiday of them all that proves that it really does take money to buy love, today's game will feature songs that show off the not-so-pretty aspects of love and romance that Hallmark would like to pretend don't exist. Call it the anti-VD Day, if you wish...
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist...
1. You love her but she loves him
And he loves somebody else
You just can't win
2. Late at night a big old house gets lonely
I guess every form of refuge has its price
And it breaks her heart to think her love is only
Given to a man with hands as cold as ice
3. And do you think that
We`ve grown up differently
Don`t seem the same
Seems you`ve lost your feel for me
4. Right now, he's probably buying her
Some fruity little drink
Cause she can't shoot whiskey
5. Nobody knows where my Johnny has gone
Judy left the same time
Why was he holding her hand
When he`s supposed to be mine
6. Some people work for a living
Some people work for fun
Girl I just work for you
7. There goes my old girlfriend
There's another diamond ring
And of all those late night promises
I guess they don't mean a thing
8. You come on with a come on
You don't fight fair
But that's okay, see if I care
9. They started to fight
When the money got tight
And they just didn't
Count on the tears
10. When routine bites hard
And ambitions are low
And resentment rides high
But emotions won't grow
11. Used to go to dinner almost every night
Danced until I thought I'd lose my breath
Now it seems your dancin' feet are always on my couch
Good thing I cook or else we'd starve to death
12. Now I know, that I had to borrow
Beg and steal and lie and cheat
Trying to keep ya, trying to please ya
'Cause being in love with your ass ain't cheap
Kroxquo Bonus: Name another song with artist that testifies about the cruel side of love.
Image Bonus: Show me something that'll tell love to take a flying leap...
