Title: Can U Handle It?



[Usher speaking]
What's up baby
I'm so glad I got you here
I'm so in love with you
And I don't ever wanna lose you
I wanna take this to the next level
I hope you ready

Now that you're here
I got somethin' to say baby
I think that you should know
You're givin' the most, suga
So don't worry 'bout the situation
I'd never let you go

[Chorus]
Can you handle it
If I go there baby with you
I can handle it
I can go there baby with you
Oh I hear you talkin' babe
Can you handle it
Can I go there baby with you
We gon' set it off
We gon' tear it up
Baby can you handle

Wooooo baby
You say all the time
You only want the best of my love
Now I can see that
There's only one way to tear it up
Yeah
I'm willing to tell you
Everything I let stand between us
But what if I tell you too much

What about you babe
Will you tell me
All the freaky things you are
Before I do
Need you to know
If we make it through
Our love will grow
Oooh ho ho
Imagine how amazing things would be

[Chorus]
Can you handle it
Can I go there baby with you
We gon' set it of
We gon' tear it up
Baby can u handle

I can handle it
I can go there baby with you
Oh I hear you talkin' babe
We gon' set it out
We gon' work it out
Baby can you handle

Oooh hey yeah baby
I fear sometimes in my mind
That you won't wanna stay with my love
Oh baby
If I can be sure
Inside out that you know exactly
The man that comes to see you
I'll go deep as I can
Giving you the rest of my love
But what if I tell you too much

Uhhhhh
So much to explore
So much we have yet to discover
I ask myself
Should I go there
Should I do it
Yeeeaaahhh oooooh
Can I give it to you fully
Can you handle it

[Chorus]
Can you handle it
If I go there baby with you
We gon' lay it out
We gon' tear it up
Baby can u handle
I can handle it
I can go there baby with you
We gon' set it out
We gon' make it out
Baby can you handle

Can you handle it
Can I go there baby with you
We gon' set it off
We gon' tear it up
Baby can you handle

We gon' set it out
We gon' work it out
Baby can you handle

Can you handle it
Can I go there baby with you
We gon' set it off
We gon' tear it up
Baby can you handle



This song has the sultriest flow.
Just love the lyrics ... and music.
Just sayin ~

JAMELIA LYRICS

"Thank You"

[Verse 1:]
The fights, those nights
I tried to pretend it don't hurt
The way, I prayed
Someday that you would love me
Really, completely
Just how I wanted it to be
But no, so wrong
Can't believe I stayed with you so long

[B-Chorus:]
You hit, you spit, you split, ever-y bit of me, yeah
You stole, you broke, you're cold
You're such a joke to me, yeah

[Chorus:]
For every last bruise you gave me
For every time I sat in tears
For the million ways you hurt me
I just wanna tell you this
You broke my world, made me strong
Thank you
Messed up my dreams, made me strong
Thank you

[Verse 2:]
My head, near dead
Just the way you wanted it
My soul, stone cold
Cos I was under you're control
So young, so dumb
Knew just how to make me succumb
But I understand
To make yourself feel like a man

[B-Chorus:]
You hit, you spit, you split, ever-y bit of me, yeah
You stole, you broke, you're cold
You're such a joke to me, yeah

[Chorus:]
For every last bruise you gave me
For every time I sat in tears
For the million ways you hurt me
I just wanna tell you this
You broke my world, made me strong
Thank you
Messed up my dreams, made me strong
Thank you

[Middle eight:]
You coulda had it all babe
It coulda been so right
I woulda given you everything
Morning through night
Yeah, you taught me some lessons
Those are my blessings
That won't happen again
Thank you

In Your Eyes

love I get so lost, sometimes
days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
when I want to run away
I drive off in my car
but whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are

all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
the heat I see in your eyes

love, I don't like to see so much pain
so much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired of working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive

and all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light,
the heat I see in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes

Macy Gray ~ I Try

Games, changes and fears
When will they go from here
When will they stop
I believe that fate has brought us here
And we should be together, babe
But we're not

*i play it off but i'm dreamin' of you
I'll keep my cool but i'm feindin'
** (i try to say) goodbye and i choke
I try to walk away and i stumble
Though i try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near
(repeat **)

I may appear to be free
But i'm just a prisoner of your love
I may seem alright and smile when you leave
But my smiles are just a front, just a front, hey
(repeat */**/**)

Here is my confession
May i be your possession
Boy i need your touch
Your love kisses and such
With all my might i try
But this i can't deny, deny
(repeat */**/**/**)

Love Grows Wild
Buddy Miller

There's a place where love grows wild
Where hearts can trust just like a child
A wild thing it don't need a lot
It just grows on what it's got
It still grows no matter what

I used to be too hard to care
But till you do you ain't nowhere
Once I just threw love away
But that fool was yesterday
Now my heart is home to stay

Wild things grow on less than a little
And darling I know it'll be
You and me right down the middle where
Love grows wild

Gave up all those valentines
Now I just want the one that's mine
I will say I love you so
When I do it you will know
Darling I will never go

Wild things grow on less than a little
And darling I know it will be
You and me right down the middle where
Love grows wild

You give me the sweetest love
You must be straight from above
And you're so good at loving me
You're so fine it's plain to see
This was surely meant to be

There's a place where love grows wild

RASCAL FLATTS LYRICS

"Shine On"

I was lost in darkness and sinking sand
Well I was barely nothing, a broken man
But you picked up the pieces of my heart in your hand
Then you came and showed to me love's second chance

[Chorus]
Shine on, shine on, shine on me
Whenever something's missing
You're exactly what I need
Your love has shown me the light and now I finally see
So shine on, shine on, shine on me, yeah

Lord knows that I'm not perfect but I sure do try
And I see the man that I can be in your eyes
Well there are times I still get lost in yesterday
But you put the past behind me and you light my way

[Repeat Chorus]

Shine on (let your love shine)
Shine on (on me)
Shine all your love on me, yeah
(Your love on me)
Shine all your love on me, yeah

[Repeat Chorus]

Shine on, shine on, shine on me
Won't you keep on shining, yeah
Won't you keep on shining your love
Down on me, baby
Won`t you keep on shining, yeah
Won`t you keep on shining your love
Yeah, you're exactly what I need, baby
Yeah, you are

Denis Leary

I'm just a regular Joe with a regular job.
I'm your average white suburbanite slob.
I like football and porno and books about war.
I got an average house with a nice hardwood floor.

My wife and my job, my kids and my car.
My feet on my table...and a cuban cigar.

But sometimes that just ain't enough to keep a man like me interested
no way
No, I've gotta go out and have fun at someone else's expense
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

I drive really slow in the ultra-fast lane,
While people behind me are going insane.

I'm an asshole
I'm an asshole

I use public toilets and I piss on the seat,
I walk around in the summertime saying "How about this heat?"

I'm an asshole
I'm an asshole

Sometimes I park in handicapped spaces,
While handicapped people make handicapped faces.

I'm an asshole
I'm an asshole

Maybe I shouldn't be singing this song
Ranting and raving and carrying on
Maybe they're right when they tell me I'm wrong...

NAAAAH!

I'm an asshole
I'm an asshole

(Spoken)
Know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna get myself a 1967 Cadillac El Dorado
Convertible, hot pink, with whaleskin hubcaps and all-leather cow
interior and big brown baby seal eyes for headlights... yeah! And I'm
gonna drive around in that baby at 115 miles per hour, getting 1 mile
per gallon, suckin' down quarter pound cheeseburgers from McDonald's
in the old-fashioned non-biodegradable styrofoam containers and when
I'm done suckin' down those greaseball burgers I'm gonna wipe my mouth
on the American Flag and then I'm gonna toss the styrofoam containers
right out the side, and there ain't a goddamn thing anybody can
do about it. You know why? Because we got the bombs, that's why Two
words: Nuclear fuckin' weapons, OK? Russia, Germany, Romania, they
can have all the democracy they want...they can have a big democracy
cakewalk right through the middle of Tienamen Square and it won't make
a lick of difference, because we got the bombs, OK? John Wayne's not
dead, he's frozen! And as soon as we find a cure for cancer, we're
gonna thaw out the Duke and he's gonna be pretty pissed off. You know
why? Have you ever taken a cold shower? Well, multiply that by 15
million times, that's how pissed off the Duke's gonna be.
I'm gonna get the Duke and John Casavetti and Lee Marvin

and Sam Peckinpaw

and a case of whisky

and drive to Texas...



(Sung)
I'm an asshole
I'm an asshole
A S-S H-O L-E
Everybody, A S-S H-O L-E

I'm an asshole and I'm proud of it

The Scotsman Song

Lyrics:

Well a Scotsman clad in kilt left a bar on evening fair
And one could tell by how we walked that he drunk more than is share
He fumbled round until he could no longer keep his feet
Then he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the treet
Ring ding diddle diddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh
He stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street
About that time two young and lovely girls just happend by
And one says to the other with a twinkle in her eye
See yon sleeping Scotsman so strong and handsome built
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt
Ring ding diddle diddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt

They crept up on that sleeping Scotsman quiet as could be
Lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see
And there behold, for them to see, beneath his Scottish skirt
Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his irth
Ring ding diddle diddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh> Was
nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth>
They marveled for a moment, then one said we must be gone
Let's leave a present for our friend, before we move along
As a gift they left a blue silk ribbon, tied into a bow
Around the bonnie star, the Scots kilt did lift and show
Ring ding diddle diddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh
Around the bonnie star, the Scots kilt did lift and show

Now the Scotsman woke to nature's call and stumbled towards a tree
Behind a bush, he lift his kilt and gawks at what he sees
And in a startled voice he says to what's before his eyes.
O lad I don't know where you been but I see you won first prize
Ring ding diddle diddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh
O lad I don't know where you been but I see you won first prize

JAMES BLUNT LYRICS

"Tears And Rain"

How I wish I could surrender my soul;
Shed the clothes that become my skin;
See the liar that burns within my needing.
How I wish I'd chosen darkness from cold.
How I wish I had screamed out loud,
Instead I've found no meaning.

I guess it's time I run far, far away; find comfort in pain,
All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray.
I've heard what they say, but I'm not here for trouble.
It's more than just words: it's just tears and rain.

How I wish I could walk through the doors of my mind;
Hold memory close at hand,
Help me understand the years.
How I wish I could choose between Heaven and Hell.
How I wish I would save my soul.
I'm so cold from fear.

I guess it's time I run far, far away; find comfort in pain,
All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray.
I've heard what they say, but I'm not here for trouble.
Far, far away; find comfort in pain.
All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
It's more than just words: it's just tears and rain.

Manifesto - Roxy Music

I am for a life around the corner
That takes you by surprise
That comes leaves all you need
And more besides

I am for a life and time by numbers
Blast in fast 'n' low
Add 'em up, account for luck
You never know

I am into friendship and plain sailing
Through frenzied ports o' call
O shake the hand to beat the band
With love is all
Or nothing to the man who wants tomorrow
There's one in every town
A crazy guy, he'd rather die
Than be tied down

I am for the man who drives the hammer
To rock you 'til the grave
His power drill shocks
A million miles away

I am for the revolution's coming
I don't know where she's been
For those who dare because it's there
I know I've seen

Now and then I've suffered imperfection
I've studied marble flaws
And faces drawn pale and worn
By many tears

I am that I am from out of nowhere
to fight without a cause
Roots strain against the grain
With brute force you'd better
Hold out when you're in doubt
Question what you see
And when you find an answer
Bring it home to me.

LONG HOT SUMMER NIGHT


It sure was a long,
long, long hot summer night,
as far as my eyes could see.
But my heart was way down
in a cold cold winter storm.
Well, mr darlin' where can you be?
Where can you be, baby?
Where can you be?

There were three sugar walls
and two candy cane windows
But the serious mood melted
all those in sight.
Everybody's on fire
but I'm snowing in a cold blizzard.
Where are you on this uh hot cold summer,
Where are you on this uh hot cold summer,
Where are you on this uh hot cold summer night?
Wo wo, night.

Around about this time
the old telephone blew its horn across the night.
Scared little Annie clean out of her mind.
And I tell ya
Roman the candle he peeps
out of his peekaboo hide and seek
and grabbed little Annie
from the ceiling just in time.
And the telephone keeps on screamin'.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

"Hello," said my shakey voice.
"Well, how you doin?" I start to stutter,
"Can't cha tell I'm doin' fine."
There was a baby talkin',
she's way down 'cross the border.

She says, "I'm gonna hurry to ya,
I've been a fool and I'm tired of cryin'.
Said I'm tired, Jimi."

Yes a long, long hot summer night
as far as my eyes could see.
But I can feel the heat comin' on
As my baby's gettin' closer.
I'm so glad that my baby's comin's to rescue me.

So glad that my baby's comin' to rescue me.

Title: Without You


No I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way
The story goes
You always smile but in your eyes
Your sorrow shows
Yes it shows
No I can't forget tomorrow
When I think of all my sorrow
When I had you there
But then I let you go
And now it's only fair
That I should let you know
What you should know

I can't live
If living is without you
I can't live
I can't give anymore

I can't live
If living is without you
I can't give
I can't give anymore

Well I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way
The story goes
You always smile but in your eyes
Your sorrow shows
Yes it shows

I can't live
If living is without you
I can't live
I can't give any more
I can't live
If living is without you
I can't give
I can't give anymore




I know it's repetitive ... just love this one.

{"No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature"}


Lonely feelin' deep inside
Find a corner where I can hide
Silent footsteps crowdin' me
Sudden darkness, but I can see

No sugar tonight in my coffee
No sugar tonight in my tea
No sugar to stand beside me
No sugar to run with me

Da-un-do-dow dow da-un-do-dow
Da-un-do-dow dow no no
Da-un-do-dow dow da-un-do-dow
Da-un-do-dow dow

In the silence of her mind
Quiet movements, well, I can find
Grabbin' for me with her eyes
Now I'm fallin' from her skies

No sugar tonight in my coffee
No sugar tonight in my tea
No sugar to stand beside me
No sugar to run with me

Da-un-do-dow dow da-un-do-dow
Da-un-do-dow dow un-dow-dow
Da-un-do-dow dow da-un-do-dow
Da-un-do-dow dow


Jocko says yes and I believe him
When we talk about the things I say
She hasn't got the faith or the guts to leave him
When they're standin' in each other's way
You're driven back now to places you've been to
You're wonderin' what you're gonna find
You know you've been wrong but it won't be long
Before you leave 'em all far behind

'Cause it's the new Mother Nature takin' over
It's the new splendid lady come to call
It's the new Mother Nature takin' over
She's gettin' us all
She's gettin' us all

Jocko said no when I came back last time
It's lookin' like I lost a friend
No use callin' 'cause the sky is fallin'
And I'm gettin' pretty near the end
A smoke-filled room in a corner basement
The situation must be right
A bag o' goodies and a bottle o' wine
We're gonna get it on right tonight

'Cause it's the new Mother Nature takin' over
It's the new splendid lady come to call
It's the new Mother Nature takin' over
She's gettin' us all
She's gettin' us all


Lonely feelin'
Jocko says yes and I believe him
Deep inside
When we talk about the things I say
Find a corner
She hasn't got the faith or the guts to leave him
Where I can hide
When they're standin' in each other's way
Silent footsteps
You're driven back now to places you've been to
Crowdin' me
You're wonderin' what you're gonna find
Sudden darkness
You know you've been wrong and it won't be long
But I can see
Before you leave 'em all far behind

'Cause it's the new Mother Nature takin' over
It's the new splendid lady come to call
It's the new Mother Nature takin' over
She's gettin' us all
She's gettin' us all​

somebody's callin by kenny chesney

Somebody's callin'; callin' my little darlin' ""darlin'"" tonight.
This time, oh Lord, it aint me.
Instead of sittin' here a'bawlin', bawlin',
I ought to be a crawlin' back to make things right.
Somebody's callin' my little darlin' ""darlin'"" tonight.

Well the clock on the wall says its midinght,
And my baby still aint home; where, oh, where can she be?
Well, I got a sneakin suspicion, she aint all alone.
What is this sound I hear a hauntin' me?

Somebody's callin'; callin' my little darlin' ""darlin'"" tonight.
This time, oh Lord, it aint me.
Instead of sittin' here a'bawlin', bawlin',
I ought to be a crawlin' back to make things right.
Somebody's callin' my little darlin' ""darlin'"" tonight.

Well she used to always be there whenever I would call,
Waitin for me patiently.
Now my fingers are calloused over from dialin' this old phone.
I guess she's over it and over me.

Somebody's callin'; callin' my little darlin' ""darlin'"" tonight.
This time, oh Lord, it aint me.
Instead of sittin' here a'bawlin', bawlin',
I ought to be a crawlin' back to make things right.
Somebody's callin' my little darlin' ""darlin'"" tonight.

Instead of sittin' here a'bawlin', bawlin',
I ought to be a crawlin' back to make things right.
Somebody's callin' my little darlin' ""darlin'"" tonight.

JAMES BLUNT LYRICS

"Wise Men"

She said to me, "Go steady on me.
Won't you tell me what the Wise Men said?
When they came down from Heaven,
Smoked nine 'til seven,
All the shit that they could find,
But they couldn't escape from you,
Couldn't be free of you,
And now they know there's no way out,
And they're really sorry now for what they've done,
They were three Wise Men just trying to have some fun."

Look who's alone now,
It's not me. It's not me.
Those three Wise Men,
They've got a semi by the sea.
Got to ask yourself the question,
Where are you now?

Really sorry now,
They weren't to know.
They got caught up in your talent show,
With you pernickety little bastards in your fancy dress,
Who just judge each other and try to impress,
But they couldn't escape from you,
Couldn't be free of you,
And now they know there's no way out,
And they're really sorry now for what they've done,
They were three Wise Men just trying to have some fun.

Look who's alone now,
It's not me. It's not me.
Those three Wise Men,
They've got a semi by the sea.
Got to ask yourself the question,
Where are you now?

Well how about Sippie Wallace? You dig her? She did some great stuff, including this one which Bonnie Raitt covered very successfully. I love this lyric--it's sly and smart and the damn truth.

Love Me Like A Man

The men that I've been seeing
Well they got their soul up on a shelf
You know they could never love me
Cuz they can't even love themselves

But I want someone to love me
Baby I want one who understands
Who won't put himself above me
Who can love me like a man

I never seen such losers
Even though I've tried
To find a mind to take me home
Instead of taking me for a ride

Baby, I need someone to love me
Baby, I need someone who can
Believe me when I tell you
You gotta love me like a man

These men want me to rock them
Like my back ain't got no bone
I want a man who's gonna rock me
Like my backbone was his own

Baby, I need someone to love me
Baby, I want someone who can
Believe it when I tell you darlin'
You can love me like a man

Come home sad and lonely
Feel like I wanna cry
Come over here and hold me baby
Don't ask me the reason why
I said I, I want a lover
I don't have to work to understand

Don't put yourself above me baby
Learn to love me like a man

*************************************
Not a bad little anthem, hehe.

So you are telling me I have to listen to the tape over and over! Nice add though, Ang.

No, of course not. I just think it's a very political song. That was my only point.

I thought it more sexual. Maybe we are not thinking of the same Alberta Hunter song?

No lol. I meant the one I quoted--the Sippie Wallace song, not My Castle's Rockin. I can find the lyric for that online and I don't have my computer. The hard drive crashed and it's being repaired. (I'm on ee's puter at the moment.)
