You go to my head - Billie Holiday

You go to my head and you linger like a haunting refrain
And I find you spinning 'round in my brain
Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne
You go to my head like a sip of sparkling Burgundy brew
And I find the very mention of you
Like the kicker in a julep or two

The thrill of the thought that you might 
give a thought to my plea
Cast a spell over me
Still I say to myself get a hold of yourself
Can't you see that it never can be

You go to my head with a smile that 
makes my temperature rise
Like a summer with a thousand Julys
You intoxicate my soul with your eyes
Though I'm certain that this heart of mine
Hasn't a ghost of a chance in this crazy romance
You go to my head
You go to my head

Though I'm certain that this heart of mine
Hasn't a ghost of a chance in this crazy romance
You go to my head
You go to my head

"I'm a fool to want you..."

I'm a Fool To Want You - Billie Holiday
I'm a fool to want you
I'm a fool to want you
To want a love that can't be true
A love that's there for others too

I'm a fool to hold you
Such a fool to hold you
To seek a kiss not mine alone
To share a kiss that Devil has known

Time and time again I said I'd leave you
Time and time again I went away
But then would come the time when I would need you
And once again these words I had to say

Take me back, I love you
...I need you
I know it's wrong, it must be wrong
But right or wrong I can't get along

Without you

 Why Don't You Love Me? - Beyoncé

Now, now, now, honey
You better sit down and look around
Cause you must've bumped yo' head
And I love you enough to talk some sense back into you, baby
I'd hate to see you come home, me the kids
And the dog is gone
Check my credentials...
I give you everything you want everything you need
Even your friends say I'm a good woman
All I need to know is why?

Why don't you love me?
Tell me, baby, why don't you love me
When I make me so damn easy to love?
And why don't you need me?
Tell me, baby, why don't you need me
When I make me so damn easy to need?

I got beauty, I got class
I got style, and I got ass
And you don't even care to care
Looka here
I even put money in the bank account
Don't have to ask no one to help me out
You don't even notice that

Why don't you love me?
Tell me, baby, why don't you love me
When I make me so damn easy to love?
Why don't you need me?
Tell me, baby, why don't you need me
When I make me so damn easy to need?

I got beauty, I got heart
Keep my head in them books, I'm sharp
But you don't care to know I'm smart
Now, now now now now now now
I got moves in your bedroom
Keep you happy with the nasty things I do
But you don't seem to be in tune
Ooh.....

Why don't you love me?
Tell me, baby, why don't you love me
When I make me so damn easy to love?
Why don't you need me?
Tell me, baby, why don't you need me
When I make me so damn easy to need?

There's nothing not to love about me
No, no, there's nothing not to love about me
I'm lovely
There's nothing not to need about me
No, no, there's nothing not to need about me
Maybe you're just not the one
Or maybe you're just plain....... dumb!

"It's my own heart that hurts me..."




"What Were We Thinking - Joss Stone
Try to turn it off
But it's hard to see
Through this emptiness
Slowly breaking me
Maybe hurt me just a little less
Then I can start to breathe
But still your heart is out of reach

What were we thinking
And what will we do now
Ah ha
Right now
Right now
Right now
Ooh ooh

The sun hasn't shined today at all
A funny thing
You haven't called
Tell me why
Or should I be asking?
How would I respond to it all
Times were good
I wish you were around more
I can feel you at my door
But it's not you
It's someone else
What can I do
Ooh, what did we do

What were we thinking
What were we thinking
What were we thinking
Right now
Right now
Right now
Tell me you made up your mind
(I'm not gonna cry) it wouldn't be the first time
See absurd, it's my own heart that hurts me
I'm a prime myself the fool, cause I fell in love with you

Oh what were we thinking
And what will we do now
Ah ha
Right now
Right now
Right now
Ooh ooh

Try to turn it off
But it's hard to see
Through this emptiness
Slowly breaking me
Maybe hurt me just a little less
Then I can start to breathe
But still your heart is out fo reach

What were we thinking
What can we do now
Right now
Right now

Try to turn it off
But it's hard to see
Through this emptiness
Slowly breaking me
Maybe hurt me just a little less
Then I can start to breathe
But still
your heart is out of reach

I should have known
It was right in front of me
Screaming girl just walk away
See it can't ever be
Oh, what would we do now
We carried on making our mistakes
Thinking our love was free
Now you've taken part of me
Right now

"Life is a waiting game"




Seasons Change - Corinne Bailey Rae

oh oh oh...
maybe you've been pouring everything into this
your mistake of this attends to agony,
you contradict this when it comes to it,
you can't hide from me,
but don't you surrender anything..
don't you know that, that patience is a virtue (yes it is),
and life is a waiting game...don't you know that, 
peace must be learned to you

and all the money in the world can buy you nothing...
(i tell you that)
all these things I've found, all these things I've done for a reason, 
don't you go on and through it all the way...
when the seasons change (you gonna change)...

oh oh...
hurts me to see you feel this way but it won't be always, 
don't you know everything got to change,oh... 
feel like all your opens gone, you can't carry on, 
but there's nothing oh, you don't have to pretend with me, 
don't you know that, that patient is a Virtue,(yes it is), 
and life is a waiting game, 
don't you know that, peace must be learned to you...

all the money in the world can buy you nothing, 
(let me tell you that)...
all these things I've found, all these things I've done for a reason...
don't you go on through it all the way, when the seasons change
oh oh oh...
when the seasons change

Choux Pastry Heart - Corinne Bailey Rae

I was just waiting for your phone call
When they came along to say
That a rose don't chase you clear away

You had said i was gamine
But we didn't mean the same thing i think
Broke my choux pastry heart
Guess life's no picture or postcard

One for sorrow
Two for joy

Sometimes you will lose
Sometimes you lose
Don' t wanna lose ya
Don't even own ya, yeah
I just wanna stay right here
until never dawns, yeah

Oooh
Mmmm

I was just waiting for your answer
Still, you made your own apologies
I cried so much I had to leave

Three for a girl
Four for a boy, oh

Sometimes you will lose
Sometimes you lose
Don' t wanna lose ya, yeah
Don't even own ya, yeah
I just wanna stay right here
until never dawns, yeah

Oooh
Oooh

"Yes, I was burned, but I call it a lesson learned."


 

Lesson Learned - Alicia Keys
He broke my heart
and now its raining
just to rub it in
I'm at your door
I feel so crazy about it

you'll say I told you so
you saw it long ago
you knew he had to go
I finally came around
i'm back on solid ground
can't let it get me down

its alright, its alright, its alright
its alright
its alright, its alright, its alright

yes I was burned, but I call it a lesson learned
mistake overturned, so I call it a lesson learned
my soul has returned so I call it a lesson learned
another lesson learned

sometimes, some lies
can take a minute to fully realize
his tears, your eyes
thirty seconds to apologize
you'll give him one more chance
just like the time before
but he already knows
you'll give 100 more
until that night in bed
you'll wake up in a sweat
you're racing to the door
can't take it anymore

I was burned but I call it a lesson learned
mistake overturned, so I call it a lesson learned
my soul had returned so I call it a lesson learned
another lesson learned

lifes perfect, it ain't perfect if you don't know what the struggles for
falling down ain't fallin down if you don't cry when you hit the floor
it's called the past cause i'm gettin past
and I ain't nothing like I was before.
you ought to see me now

yes I was burned, but I call it a lesson learned
mistake, I returned so I called it a lesson learned
my soul has returned so I call it a lesson learned
another lesson learned
wooooaaa

"I won't let my guard down"



Like A Star - Corinne Bailey Rae

Just like a star across my sky,
just like an angel off the page,
you have appeared to my life,
feel like I'll never be the same,
just like a song in my heart,
just like oil on my hands,
Honor to love you,

Still I wonder why it is,
I don't argue like this,
with anyone but you,
we do it all the time,
blowing out my mind,

You've got this look I can't describe,
you make me feel like I'm alive,
when everything else is a fade,
without a doubt you're on my side,
heaven has been away too long,
can't find the words to write this song
Of your love,

Still I wonder why it is,
I don't argue like this,
with anyone but you,
we do it all the time,
blowing out my mind,

Yeah.....

I have come to understand,
the way it is,
It's not a secret anymore,
'cause we've been through that before,
from tonight I know that you're the only one,
I've been confused and in the dark,
now I understand,
Yeah-yeah

Oooh......Ooohhhh..

I wonder why it is,
I don't argue like this,
with anyone but you,
I wonder why it is,
I won't let my guard down,
for anyone but you
we do it all the time,
blowing out my mind,

Just like a star across my sky,
just like an angel off the page,
you have appeared to my life,
feel like I'll never be the same,
just like a song in my heart,
just like oil on my hands.

"I've promissed myself never to get hurt again"




Hurt Again - Mary J. Blige
Sometimes I really don't wanna have to speak my mind
Cuz, I really don't wanna tell you 
how I am digging you so
I can't let go, but it hurts me to my soul
I tell you every little thing that is on my mind, I
can't let you know so I hide it inside
All my feelings for you, don't want you to, 
let it go to your head
I'm into you sometimes, 
but I can't get you off my mind
So I hit you with the game, always trying to act like
you loving doesn't faze me when the
truth is that it amazes me
You know it's a big lie cuz you 
can see right thru my eyes
How much I wanna hold you, give you all my loving,
baby boy let me show
And I really wanna get to know you

I've been there and I've done that
and I promise never to get hurt again,
never again
You drive me crazy but I promise myself
never to get hurt again,
never again

I can never, ever let you see me this way,
so I take all my feelings and I tuck 'em away
Fronting like I don't want you to hold me tight, 
so I act like I'm putting up a fight
To get your attention, and 
make you stay a while longer
So I tell you I don't like it cuz I know that'll make
you wanna hold me tighter,
I can't help myself I really like you

I don't deserve it,
I can never get hurt again,
never get hurt again,
never
I don't deserve it,
I can never get hurt again
never get hurt again, no

"I know what I've said was heat of the moment..."



Till It Happens To You - Corinne Bailey Rae

I know what I said
was heat of the moment
but theres a little truth in between 
the words we've spoken
its a little late now to fix the heart thats broken
please dont ask me where i'm going
cuz i dont know
no i dont know anymore

It used to feel like heaven
used to feel like may
I used to hear those violins playing 
our strings like a symphony
now they've gone away
nobody wants to face the truth
but you wont believe what love can do
till it happens to you
till it happens to you

went to the old flat
guess i was trying to turn the clock back
how come that nothing feels the same now 
when im with you
we used to stay up all night in the kitchen
when our love was new
oooh love im a fool to believe in you
cuz i dont know
no i dont know
anymore

It used to feel like heaven
It used to feel like may
I used to hear those violins playing 
our strings like a symphony
now they've gone away
nobody wants to know the truth
until their hearts broken
dont you dare tell them
what you think to do
till they get over
you can only learn these things
from experience
when you get older
I just wish that someone would have told me
till it happpens to you
till it happens to you
till it happens to you

"I've opened up my heart, I never want to part, I'm giving you the ball"


  
What Am I To You? de Norah Jones 

What am I to you?
Tell me, darlin', true
To me you are the sea
Vast as you can be
And deepest shade of blue
When you're feelin' low
To whom else do you go?
I'd cry if you hurt
I'd give you my last shirt
Because I love you so
Now, if my sky should fall
Would you even call?
I've opened up my heart
I never want to part
I'm givin' you the ball
When I look in your eyes
I can feel the butterflies
I'll love you when you're blue
But tell me darlin' true
What am I to you?
If my sky should fall
Would you even call?
I've opened up my heart
I never wanna part
I'm givin' you the ball
When I look in your eyes
I can feel the butterflies
Could you find a love in me?
Would you carve me in a tree?
Don't fill my heart with lies
I will love you when you're blue
But tell me, darlin', true
What am I to you?

"Should I jump?"




Jump
Madonna

There's only so much you can learn in one place
The more that I wait, the more time that I waste

I haven't got much time to waste, it's time to make my way
I'm not afraid what I'll face, but I'm afraid to stay
I'm going down my own road and I can make it alone
I'll work and I'll fight, Till I find a place of my own

Are you ready to jump?
Get ready to jump
Don't ever look back, oh baby,
Yes, I'm ready to jump
Just take my hands
Get ready to jump

We learned our lesson from the start, my sisters and me
The only thing you can depend on is your family
And life's gonna drop you down like the limbs of a tree
It sways and it swings and it bends until it makes you see

Are you ready to jump?
Get ready to jump
Don't ever look back, oh baby
Yes, I'm ready to jump
Just take my hands
Get ready to, are you ready?

There's only so much you can learn in one place
The more that you wait, the more time that you waste

All work and no fighting, I'll find a place of my own
It sways and it swings and it bends until you make it your own

I can make it alone (my sisters and me)
Are you ready to jump?
Get ready to jump
Don't ever look back, oh baby
Yes, I'm ready to jump
Just take my hands
Get ready to jump

Are you ready to jump?
Get ready to jump
Don't ever look back, oh baby
Yes, I'm ready to jump
Just take my hands
Get ready to, are you ready?

Work That - Mary J. Blige

Work your thing out
Work your thing out
Work your thing out
Work your thing out

Theres so many-a girls
I hear you been running
From the beautiful queen
That you could be becoming
You can look at my palm
And see the storm coming
Read the book of my life
And see I've overcome it
Just because the length of your hair ain't long
And they often criticize you for your skin tone
Wanna hold your head high
Cause you're a pretty woman
Get your runway stride home
And keep going
Girl live ya life

I just wanna be myself
Don't sweat girl be yourself
Follow me
Follow me
Follow me
Girl be yourself
That's why I be myself
And I'm gonna love it

Let em get mad
They gonna hate anyway
Don't you get that?
Doesn't matter if you're going on with their plan
They'll never be happy
Cause they're not happy with themselves

Na na work what you got
I'm talking bout things that I know
Na na work what you got
It's okay show yourself some love
Na na work what you got
Don't worry bout who's saying what
It's gonna be fine
Work what you got

Feelin great because the light's on me
Celebrating the things that everyone told me
Would never happen but God has put his hands on me
And aint a man alive could ever take it from me
Working with what I got I gotta keep on
Taking care of myself I wanna live long
Aint never ashamed what life did to me

Wasn't afraid to change cause it was good for me
I wanna...

I just wanna be myself
Don't sweat girl be yourself
Follow me
Follow me
Follow me
Girl be yourself
That's why I be myself
And I'm gonna love it

Let em get mad
They gonna hate anyway
Don't you get that?
Doesn't matter if you're going on with their plan
They'll never be happy
Cause they're not happy with themselves

Na na work what you got
I'm talking bout things that I know
Na na work what you got
It's okay show yourself some love

"No time for negative vibes"

Mais um desenho inspirado pelo alto astral 
de "Just Fine" da Mary J. Blige.

You know I love music
And every time I hear something hot
It makes me wanna move
It makes me wanna have fun
But it’s something about this joint right here
This joint right here
Its makes me wanna...Woooh
Let it go...
Can’t let this thing called love get away from you
Feel free right now, go do what you want to do
Can’t let nobody take it away, from you, from me, from we
No time for moping around, are you kidding?
And no time for negative vibes, cause I’m winning
It’s been a long week, I put in my hardest
Gonna live my life, feels so good to get it right
So I like what I see when I’m looking at me
When I’m walking past the mirror
Don't stress through the night, at a time in my life
Ain’t worried about if you feel it
Got my head on straight, I got my vibe right
I aint gonna let you kill it
You see I wouldn’t change my life, my life’s just...
Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, ooooh
Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, ooooh
Just fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, ooooh
