The
Weakness in Me
Artist: Joan Armatrading
Album: Ten Things I Hate About You Original Movie Soundtrack
Note: From Chloe to Brady.
I'm
not the sort of person who falls in and quickly out of love
But to you, I give my affection, right from the start.
I have a lover who loves me - how could I break such a heart?
Yet still you get my attention.
Why do you come here, when you know I've got troubles enough?
Why do you call me, when you know I can't answer the phone?
And make me lie when I don't want to,
And make someone else some kind of an unknowing fool?
Make me stay when I should not?
If you're so strong then resolve the weakness in me.
Why do you come here, and pretend to be just passing by?
I need to see you - I need to hold you - tightly.
Feeling guilty,
And I'm worried, and I'm waking from a tormented sleep
'Cause this old love, you know it has me bound,
But this new love cuts so deep.
If I choose now, I'm bound to lose out;
One of you is gonna have to fall...
I need you, baby.
Why do you come here, when you know I've got troubles enough?
Why do you call me, when you know I can't answer the phone?
And make me lie when I don't want to,
And make someone else some kind of an unknowing fool?
Make me stay when I should not?
If you're so strong then resolve the weakness in me.
Why do you come here, and pretend to be just passing by?
I need to see you - I need to hold you - tightly.
You Don't Know Me
Artist: Ray Charles, Eddy Arnold or Jann Arden
Album: Well, I like all the versions I've heard, but I own the Jann
Arden version from the My Best Friend's Wedding Soundtrack
Note: From Brady to Chloe.
You
give your hand to me
And then you say hello
And I can hardly speak
My heart is beating so
And anyone can tell
You think you know me well
But you don't know me
No you don't know the one
Who dreams of you at night
And longs to kiss your lips
Longs to hold you tight
Oh I am just a friend
That's all I've ever been
Cause you don't know me
I never knew the art of making love
No my heart aches with love for you
Afraid and shy I let my chance go by
The chance that you might love me too
You give your hand to me
And then you say goodbye
I watch you walk away beside the lucky guy
Oh you will never know
The one who loves you so
Well you don't know me
You give your hand to me
And then you say goodbye
I watch you walk away beside the lucky guy
Oh you will never know
The one who loves you so
Cause you don't know me
Oh no you don't know me
Ohh...you don't know me
You Don't See Me
Artist: Josie and the Pussycats (Kay Hanley from Letters to Cleo! Yay!)
Album: Josie and the Pussycats Original Movie Soundtrack
Note: From Brady to Chloe. (Oh sigh... makes me sad to hear it.)
This is the place where I sit
This is the part where I love you too much
This is as hard as it gets
Cause I'm getting tired of pretending I'm tough
I'm here if you want me
I'm yours, you can hold me
I'm empty and achin'
And tumblin' and breakin'
Cause you don't see me
And you don't need me
And you don't love me
The way I wish you would
The way I know you could
I dream a world where you understand
That I dream a million sleepless nights
Well I dream of fire when you're touching my hand
But it twists into smoke when I turn on the lights
I'm speechless and faded
It's too complicated
Is this how the book ends,
Nothing but good friends?
Cause you don't see me
And you don't need me
And you don't love me
The way I wish you would
The way I wish you would
This is the place in my heart
This is the place where I'm falling apart
Isn't this just where we met
And is this the last chance that I'll ever get
I wish I was lonely
Instead of just only
Crystal and see-through
And not enough to you
Cause you don't see me
And you don't need me
And you don't love me
The way I wish you would
Cause you don't see me
And you don't need me
And you don't love me
The way I wish you would
The way I know you could
Someone
Like You
Artist: Van Morrison
Album: Off the top of my head, I can't remember what album it comes
from... You can get it
on the Bridget Jones' Diary Soundtrack though.
Note: Used in my story, True. I pondered for almost 3 days
what song I wanted to use in that scene, and I couldn't come up with anything. So, I happened to have all my MP3's on continuous play as I wrote
another chapter and this one popped up. Must have been destiny.
I've been
searching a long time
For someone exactly like you
I've been traveling all around the world
Waiting for you to come through
Someone
like you, makes it all worthwhile
Someone like you, keeps me satisfied
Someone exactly like you
I've been
traveling' a hard road
Looking for someone exactly like you
I've been carrying my heavy load
Waiting for the light to come shining through
Someone
like you, makes it all worthwhile
Someone like you, keeps me satisfied
Someone exactly like you
I've been
doin' some soul searching
to find out where you're at
I've been up and down the highway
In all kinds of foreign lands
Someone
like you, makes it all worthwhile
Someone like you, keeps me satisfied
Someone exactly like you
I've been
all around the world
Marching to the beat of a different drum
But just lately I have realized
The best is yet to come
Someone
like you, makes it all worthwhile
Someone like you, keeps me satisfied
Someone exactly like you
The best is yet to come...
Righteous
Love
Artist: Joan Osborne
Album: Righteous Love
Note: I used this in my story, Righteous
Love. This is a fantastic album, and soon as I heard the song I KNEW I
had to use it. Plus, I have a hard time coming up with titles, so I nabbed
it for that reason too.
I
was a troubled soul
I had a worried mind
Drifting from place to place
I was the restless kind.
Right
there in front of me
Bright as the light of day
You saw a broken girl
You loved me anyway
And
if I sprouted wings
I would not be amazed
Cause Faith is a mystery that rocks me for days and days and days and...
I could be in the street
I could be on a train
Or stuck in some doorway,
Down in the pouring rain
Now there is not one place
That doesn't feel like home
No matter where I go
I know I'm not alone
I've
never been so sure of love...
And
if I sprouted wings
I would not be amazed
Cause faith is a mystery that
Rocks me for days and days and days
Oh
you can ask me once
And I will tell you twice
No one's convincing me
This isn't paradise
And
if I cause you pain
I'd only hurt myself
Cause we have a righteous love
I feel for no one else
I've never been so sure of love...
Everything You Want
Artist: Vertical Horizon
Album: Everything You Want
Somewhere there's speaking
It's already coming in
Oh and it's rising at the back of your mind
You never could get it
Unless you were fed it
Now you're here and you don't know why
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
Chorus
He's everything you want
He's everything you need
He's everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
He says all the right things
At exactly the right time
But he means nothing to you
And you don't know why
You're waiting for someone
To put you together
You're waiting for someone to push you away
There's always another wound to discover
There's always something more you wish he'd say
Chorus
But you'll just sit tight
And watch it unwind
It's only what you're asking for
And you'll be just fine
With all of your time
It's only what you're waiting for
Out of the island
Into the highway
Past the places where you might have turned
You never did notice
But you still hide away
The anger of angels who won't return
Chorus
I am everything you want
I am everything you need
I am everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
I say all the right things
At exactly the right time
But I mean nothing to you and I don't know why
And I don't know why
Why
I don't know
All For You
Artist: Sister Hazel
Finally I figured out, but it took a long long
time
And now there's a turnabout, Maybe cause I'm trying
There's been times, I'm so confused
All my roads, They lead to you
I just can't turn, And walk away...
CHORUS
It's hard to say, What it is I see in you
Wonder if I'll always, Be with you
But words can't say, And I can't do
Enough to prove, It's all for you
I thought I'd seen it all, 'Cause it's been a long long time
But then we'll trip and fall, Wondering if I'm blind
Rain comes pouring down (Pouring down)
Falling from blue skies (Falling from blue skies)
Words without a sound, Coming from your eyes
CHORUS - REPEAT ...
Pretend to be Nice
Artist: Josie and the Pussycats
Album: Josie and the Pussycats Original Soundtrack
Note: Boy, the first time I heard this I thought it fit Brady
perfectly...
Well he looks at me with those innocent eyes,
And says 'It looks like you're wearing some kind of disguise,
Because your hair sticks up and your shoes are untied,
And I hope you got that shirt at half price.'
And every word I say falls flat on the floor,
I try to tell a joke but he's heard it before,
And I don't think I can take it no more,
Cause he's driving me right out of my front door,
Why do you do what you do to me baby,
You're shaking my confidence you're driving me crazy,
You know if I could I'd do anything for you,
Please don't ignore me cause you know I adore you,
Can't you just pretend to be nice,
Can you at least pretend to be nice,
If you could just pretend to be nice,
Everything in my life would be alright,
And I try so hard just to figure him out,
But he won't tell me what he's thinking about,
And then he falls asleep on the living room couch,
With his sunglasses on and his tongue hanging out,
And then he disappears for a week at a time,
And then he shows up just like everything's fine,
And I don't get what goes on in his mind,
But I'm tired of hearing the same stupid line,
Why do you do what you do to me baby,
You're shaking my confidence making me crazy,
You know if I could I'd do anything for you,
I don't mean to bore you cause you know I adore you,
But can't you just pretend to be nice,
Can you at least pretend to be nice,
If you could just pretend to be nice,
Everything in my life would be alright,
