You're Beautiful by James Blunt

******

Boy you sure took me for a ride
And even now I sit and wonder why
That when I think of you I stop myself fron crying
I just can't waste my time
I must keep tryin
I've got to stop believing all your lies
Cause there's to much to do before I die

Mr. Joe Cocker ! ! Feelin' Alright

(scurries off to set up new playlist :] )

===================================

Bonus points if you get the original singer / songwriter
But the more well known group is fine too

Action speaks louder than words
And I'm a man of great experience
I know you've got another man
But I can love you better than him

Hard to Handle

Otis Redding

Black Crows

Should I go on. Have you ever heard the version on The Commitments soundtrack?

I actually knew that was Hard to Handle but didn't know anyone besides The Black Crowes had done it...

No one guessed the lyrics I posted many many posts back. It was Don't Mean Nothing by Richard Marx.

Here's an easy one:

There's a woman in the kitchen
Cleaning up evening slop
And he looks at her and says
Hey darlin' I can remember when you could
Stop a clock.




Here's a harder one:

Strange voices are saying
Ah what did they say?
Things I can't understand.
It's too close for comfort
So I have to get up and go.

Aint That America, SH
John Mellancamp

SH, second one is Cruel Summer - Bananarama

I knew I recognized that song! It just looked so poetic written out like that!

Yes to Mellencamp....but wrong song title!! It's called Pink Houses.

And YES Tricia! I have the Ace Of Base version....sounds very similar. Reminds me SO MUCH of sophomore year in college!! Sigh.

The Ace of Base version - I remember the first time I heard it and knew the words to the song. A friend of my sister's looked at me like I had 3 heads. She had never heard the Bananarama version of the song. That was so wrong.
