my other 3 faves--1st post was too long:-)bmoregurl78June 10 2005, 01:17:44 UTC
4.)Me and Those Dreamin Eyes of Mine--D'Angelo [1st VERSE] When I first saw you baby, I wanted to die Me and those dreaming eyes of mine, started to cry Then I'd dream, wishing my fantasy, would soon become a reality Cause every time I see you baby, all I do is sigh Cause you're the most precious thing That my dreaming eyes has ever seen So I'll continue to dream Me and those dreaming eyes of mine
[BRIDGE] Is it just that you're the finest little thing That I ever saw, or is my imagination running too far Or is it that my eyes are telling me something you could never see Something like me being with you, or you being with me
[CHORUS] Ooh we...baby, you've redefined my vision of love it seems Your love be da cherry in my chocolate covered dreams So it seems, my oh my, Me and those dreaming eyes of mine
[2nd VERSE] Oh my goodness, here she comes, switching that ass I wondered if the men in her past have treated he bad But if I had the chance, I'd treat her like a Queen Just like I do in all my dreams If you only knew how many times that I think of you I'm quite sure that you would find, I'm going out of my mind My oh my, me and those dreaming eyes of mine.
5.)Strange Fruit--Billie Holiday Southern trees bear a strange fruit Blood on the leaves and blood at the root Black bodies swinging in the Southern breeze Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees
Pastoral scene of the gallant South The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth Scent of magnolias sweet and fresh Then the sudden smell of burning flesh
Here's a fruit for the crows to pluck For the rain to gather For the wind to suck For the sun to rot For the tree to drop Here's a strange and bitter crop
6.)Back to You--John Mayer back to you it always comes around back to you I tried to forget you I tried to stay away But it's too late
over you I'm never over over you something about you It's just the way you move the way you move me
I'm so good at forgetting and I quit every game I've played but forgive me love I can't turn and walk away
back to you it always comes around back to you I walk with your shadow I'm sleeping in my bed with your silhouette
should have smiled in that picture if it's the last that I'll see of you it's the least that you could not do
oh I will leave the light on I'll never give up on you leave the light on for me too
back to me I know that it comes back to me doesn't it scare you your will is not as strong as it used to be additional lyrics and intro/outros ...doesn't it scare you, doesn't it piss you off...
I'm weaker than you know
I'm swimming in a sea of faces trying to find my way to you but it's no use, in a crowded room where everybody wants you

I like that our eclectic musical tastes seem to mirror each other.
Have you ever noticed that Hollywood tends to use Billie Holiday songs as sexual background music? How the fuck do you make love to Strange Fruit? It's not exactly baby-making music. Sometimes I wish people would take the time to listen...
[1st VERSE]
When I first saw you baby, I wanted to die
Me and those dreaming eyes of mine, started to cry
Then I'd dream, wishing my fantasy, would soon become a reality
Cause every time I see you baby, all I do is sigh
Cause you're the most precious thing
That my dreaming eyes has ever seen
So I'll continue to dream
Me and those dreaming eyes of mine
[BRIDGE]
Is it just that you're the finest little thing
That I ever saw, or is my imagination running too far
Or is it that my eyes are telling me something you could never see
Something like me being with you, or you being with me
[CHORUS]
Ooh we...baby, you've redefined my vision of love it seems
Your love be da cherry in my chocolate covered dreams
So it seems, my oh my,
Me and those dreaming eyes of mine
[2nd VERSE]
Oh my goodness, here she comes, switching that ass
I wondered if the men in her past have treated he bad
But if I had the chance, I'd treat her like a Queen
Just like I do in all my dreams
If you only knew how many times that I think of you
I'm quite sure that you would find, I'm going out of my mind
My oh my, me and those dreaming eyes of mine.
5.)Strange Fruit--Billie Holiday
Southern trees bear a strange fruit
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root
Black bodies swinging in the Southern breeze
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees
Pastoral scene of the gallant South
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth
Scent of magnolias sweet and fresh
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh
Here's a fruit for the crows to pluck
For the rain to gather
For the wind to suck
For the sun to rot
For the tree to drop
Here's a strange and bitter crop
6.)Back to You--John Mayer
back to you
it always comes around
back to you
I tried to forget you
I tried to stay away
But it's too late
over you
I'm never over
over you
something about you
It's just the way you move
the way you move me
I'm so good at forgetting
and I quit every game I've played
but forgive me love
I can't turn and walk away
back to you
it always comes around
back to you
I walk with your shadow
I'm sleeping in my bed
with your silhouette
should have smiled in that picture
if it's the last that I'll see of you
it's the least that you could not do
oh I will
leave the light on
I'll never give up on you
leave the light on
for me too
back to me
I know that it comes
back to me
doesn't it scare you
your will is not as strong
as it used to be
additional lyrics and intro/outros
...doesn't it scare you, doesn't it piss you off...
I'm weaker than you know
I'm swimming in a sea of faces
trying to find my way to you
but it's no use, in a crowded room
where everybody wants you

Okay, I'm off my soap box. For now, anyway.
