list 43 of my favorite song lyrics

I was staring at the sky, just looking for a star
To pray on, or wish on, or something like that
I was having a sweet fix of a daydream of a boy
Whose reality I knew, was hopeless to be had

But then the dove of hope began its downward slope
And I believed for a moment that my chances
were approaching to be grabbed
But as it came down near, so did a weary tear
I thought it was a bird, but it was just a paper bag

Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills
‘Cause I know I’m a mess he don’t wanna clean up
I got to fold ‘cause these hands are too shaky to hold
Hunger hurts, but starving works when it costs too much to love

And I went crazy again today, looking for a strand to climb
Looking for a little hope
Baby said he couldn’t stay, wouldn’t put his lips to mine,
And a fail to kiss is a fail to cope

I said, ‘Honey, I don’t feel so good, don’t feel justified
Come on put a little love here in my void,’ he said
‘It’s all in your head,’ and I said, ‘So’s everything’
But he didn’t get it
I thought he was a man
But he was just a little boy

Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills
‘Cause I know I’m a mess he don’t wanna clean up
I got to fold ‘cause these hands are too shaky to hold
Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love

Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills
‘Cause I know I’m a mess he don’t wanna clean up
I got to fold ‘cause these hands are too shaky to hold
Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love

It’s not a silly little moment
It’s not the storm before the calm
This is the deep and dyin breath of
This love we’ve been workin on

Can’t seem to hold you like I want to
So I can feel you in my arms
Nobody’s gonna come and save you
We pulled too many false alarms

We’re goin down
And you can see it too
We’re goin down
And you know that we’re doomed
My dear
We’re slow dancing in a burnin room

I was the one you always dreamed of
You were the one I tried to draw
How dare you say it’s nothing to me
Baby, you’re the only light I ever saw

I’ll make the most of all the sadness
You’ll be a bitch because you can
You try to hit me just hurt me
So you leave me feeling dirty
Because you can’t understand

We’re goin down
And you can see it too
We’re goin down
And you know that we’re doomed
My dear
We’re slow dancing in a burnin room

Go cry about it, why don’t you
Go cry about it, why don’t you
Go cry about it, why don’t you
My dear, we’re slow dancin’ in a burnin’ room,
Burnin room, burnin’ room
Don’t you think we oughta know by now
Don’t you think we shoulda learned somehow
Don’t you think we oughta know by now
Don’t you think we shoulda learned somehow
Don’t you think we oughta know by now
Don’t you think we shoulda learned somehow
Don’t you think we shoulda learned somehow
Don’t you think we shoulda learned somehow
Don’t you think we shoulda learned somehow
Don’t you think we shoulda learned somehow

There are places I remember all my life,
though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places had their moments
With lovers and friends
I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life, I’ve loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers,
there is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
when I think of love as something new
Though I know I’ll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I’ll often stop and think about them
In my life, I love you more

Though I know I’ll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I’ll often stop and think about them
In my life, I love you more

In my life, I love you more

She woke from a dream
Her head was on fire
Why was he so nervous?
He took her to the park
She crossed her arms
and lowered her eyelids

Someday, somebody’s gonna ask you
A question that you should say “yes” to
Once in your life
Baby, tonight I’ve got a question for you

She’d had no idea
And started to cry
She said “in a good way”
He took her by the hand
Walked her back home
And they took the long way

Someday, somebody’s gonna ask you
The question that you should say “yes” to
Once in your life
Maybe tonight I’ve got a question for you

I’ve got a question for you…

Nobody feels any pain
Tonight as I stand inside the rain
Ev’rybody knows
That Baby’s got new clothes
But lately I see her ribbons and her bows
Have fallen from her curls.

She takes just like a woman,
yes, she does
She makes love just like a woman,
yes, she does
And she aches just like a woman,
but she breaks just like a little girl.

Queen Mary, she’s my friend
Yes, I believe I’ll go see her again
Nobody has to guess
that Baby can’t be blessed
Till she finally sees that she’s like all the rest,
with her fog, her amphetamine and her pearls.

She takes just like a woman,
yes
She makes love just like a woman,
yes, she does
And she aches just like a woman,
but she breaks just like a little girl.

It was raining from the first
And I was dying of thirst
so I came in here
And your long-time curse hurts
but what’s worse
is this pain in here
I can’t stay in here
Ain’t it clear that

I just can’t fit
Yes, I believe it’s time for us to quit
When we meet again
introduced as friends
Please don’t let on that you knew me when
I was hungry and it was your world.

Ah, you fake just like a woman,
yes, you do
You make love just like a woman,
yes, you do
Then you ache just like a woman
but you break just like a little girl.

What moonsongs
do you sing your babies?
What sunshine do you bring?

Who belongs?
Who decides who’s crazy?
Who rights wrongs where others cling?

I’ll sing for you
if you want me to
I’ll give to you
And it’s a chance I’ll have to take
And it’s a chance I’ll have to break

I go along
just because I’m lazy
I go along to be with you

And those moonsongs
that you sing your babies
will be the songs to see you through

I’ll hear your song
if you want me to
I’ll sing along
And it’s a chance I’ll have to take
And it’s a chance I’ll have to break

I’m in love with you
I’m in love with you
I’m in love with you

I’m in love with you
So in love
I’m in love with you
with you
I’m in love with you

I’m in love with you
So in love
I’m in love with you
I’m so in love
I’m in love with you
