Lyrically Speaking - 2/2/21

[littlebeast13]

While there may be six more weeks left of winter, there are just nine LSWE games remaining before the last Image Bonus melts and the Kroxes migrate back north. This Tuesday Wordplay game would be one of them. And no, this crappy intro has nothing to do with the game...

1. You say I'm a dreamer
We're two of a kind
Both of us searching
For some perfect world
We know we'll never find

2. It's not in the words that you told me
It's not in the way you say you're mine, ooh

3. Oh, please say to me
You'll let me be your man

4. You're lifting me up
Never let me down
And I smile whenever
You're around

5. When you see your ship go sailing
When you feel your heart is breaking

6. Your baby needs someone to believe in
And a whole lot of space to breathe in

7. Just when I believed
I couldn`t ever want for more
This ever changing world
Pushes me through another door

8. You can laugh and joke and make fun of your friends
Spin' in the middle when the troubles begin
Take it nice and easy and always pretend
That you're cool, so cool, so cool

9. I can feel you tremble when we touch
And I feel the hand of fate
Reaching out to both of us

10. Is it true you might
Want a better life
Is it true you think
These things are lies

11. Labels out here,
Nah they can't tell me nothing
We give that to the people,
Spread it across the country

12. Baby, I don't want you
But I need you
Don't want to kiss you
But I need to
Though, whoa
You do me wrong now
My love is strong now

You've Really Got a Hold On Me - Miracles

My favourite Smokey Robinson song, at least of the Miracles renditions. I actually prefer The Jackson 5's Who's Loving You and Linda Ronstadt, Ooh Baby, Baby (which I have a whole story about waking up at like 3 am to silent snow with this song on the radio, but nobody cares about that). Oh, and I can't help but sing along to Cruisin' when that one commercial comes on. All this from someone who doesn't really consider themselves and SR&tM fan.....ha!

A clean edit of the song was on two of them, and unfortunately, I've been unable to find that exact edit on YouTube. Maybe it's familiarity, but I like it a lot more than the standard version. Also, the only Macklemore song I like, because "Thrift Shop" is just dumb...)
