She smiles through a thousand tears
And harbors adolesent fears
She dreams of all that she can never be
She wades in insecurity
And hides herself inside of me.
--Mariah Carey, "Looking In"

So denied, so I lied,
Are you the now or never kind?
Any day, in a day, love
I'm gonna be gone for good again
Are you willing to be had
Are you cool with just tonight?
--Eve 6, "Here's to the Night"

All the world is a stage
And everyone has their part
But how was I to know which way the story'd go?
How was I to know you'd break
You'd break, you'd break, you'd break
You'd break my heart?
--Madonna, "Take a Bow"

I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
When it's cold outside, I've got the month of May
I guess you say
What could make me feel this way?
My girl, my girl, my girl
Talkin' 'bout my girl, my girl...
--The Temptations, "My Girl"

Know I may come off quiet
May come off shy
But I feel like talkin', feel like dancin'
When I see this guy
What's practical, what's logical
What the hell, who cares?
All I know is I'm so happy
When you're dancing there.
--Britney Spears, "I'm a Slave 4 U"

If God had a face
What would it look like
And would you want to see
If seeing meant that you would have to believe
In things like heaven
And in Jesus and the saints
And all the prophets...
--Joan Osbourne, "One of Us"

Oh and it hurts my soul
'Cause I can't let go
All these walls are caving in
I can't stop my suffering
I hate to show that I've
Lost control 'cause I
I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need
To walk away from, yeah...
--Christina Aguilera, "Walk Away"

What are these voices outside love's open door
Make us throw off our contentment, and beg for something more?
--Don Henley, "Heart of the Matter"

Excuse me, think I've mistaken you for somebody else
Somebody who gave a damn
Somebody more like myself...
--Jewel, "Foolish Games"

There's a danger in loving somebody too much
And it's sad when you know it's your heart they can't touch
There's a reason why people don't stay who they are
Baby, sometimes love's just ain't enough.
--Patty Smyth and Don Henley, "Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough"

I wish I could just make you turn around, turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you, so many reasons why
You're the only one who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now, 'cause there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now, 'cause there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against all odds and that's what I've got to face...
--Phil Collins, "Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)"

We can't lose with God on our side
We'll find strength with each tear we cry
From now on, it will be you and I
And our ribbon in the sky
Ribbon in the sky
Ribbon in the sky for our love.
--Stevie Wonder, "Ribbon in the Sky"

All of those nights you came to me
When some silly girl had set you free
You wondered how you'd make it through
I wondered what was wrong with you
'Cause how could you give your love to someone else
And share your dreams with me?
Sometimes the very thing you're looking for
Is the one thing you can't see.
--Vanessa Williams, "Save the Best for Last"

I'll be your dream, I'll be your wish, I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope, I'll be your love, be everything that you need
I love you more with every breath, truly madly deeply do...
--Savage Garden, "Truly Madly Deeply"

I would fight for you
I'd lie for you
Walk the wire for you
Yeah I'd die for you...
--Bryan Adams, "Everything I Do (I Do It For You)"

And it hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time
I want what's yours and I want what's mine
I want you; but I'm not giving in this time.
--Michelle Branch, "Goodbye to You"

Young girl, don't cry
I'll be right here when your world starts to fall
Young girl, it's all right
Your tears will dry; you'll soon be free to fly
When you're safe inside your room you tend to dream
Of a place where nothing's harder than it seems
No one wants or even bothers to explain
Of the heartache life can bring and what it means...
--Christina Aguilera, "The Voice Within"

Lately I have had the strangest feeling
With no vivid reason here to find
Yet the thought of losing you's been hanging
'Round my mind
Far more frequently you're wearing perfume
With, you say, no special place to go
But when I ask if you'll be coming back soon
You don't know, never know
Well, I'm a man of many wishes
Hope my premonition misses, but
What I really feel my eyes won't let me hide
'Cause they always start to cry
'Cause this time could mean goodbye.
--Stevie Wonder, "Lately"

But under skinned knees
And the skid marks
Past the places where you used to learn
You howl and listen
Listen and wait for the
Echoes of angels who won't return.
--Vertical Horizon, "Everything You Want"

The boy could sing, knew how to move, everything
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for
Black velvet and that little boy's smile
Black velvet and that slow Southern style
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet if you please.
--Alannah Myles, "Black Velvet"

I can't get out of bed today
Or get you off my mind
I just can't seem to find a way
To leave the love behind...
--Stacie Orrico, "Stuck"

If you should ever find someone new
I know he better be good to you
'Cause if he doesn't, then I'll be there.
--Jackson Five, "I'll Be There"

You told me you loved me
Why did you leave me all alone?
Now you tell me you need me
When you call me on the phone
Girl, I refuse, you must have me confused
With some other guy
The bridges were burned
Now it's your turn to cry
So cry me a river...
--Justin Timberlake, "Cry Me a River"

Athough the sun will never shine the same
I'll always look to a brighter day
Lord, I know when I lay me down to sleep
You will always listen as I pray...
--Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men, "One Sweet Day"
