The Lyrical Anatomy of a Relationship

"Baby, baby, baby from the day I saw you
I really, really wanted to catch your eye
There's something special 'bout you
Cause not a lot of guys are really worth my time,
Oh no."
-You Don't Know My Name by Alicia Keys

"Let me take you to a place nice and quiet
There ain't no one there to interrupt
Ain't gotta rush
I just wanna take it nice and slow
(Now baby tell me what you wanna do with me)
See I've been waiting for this for so long
We'll be makin' love until the sun comes up
Baby, I just wanna take it nice and slow
(Now baby tell me what you wanna do with me)"
-Nice and Slow by Usher

"So I won't hesitate no more
No more it cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours."
-I'm Yours by Jason Mraz

"It's like I waited my whole life
For this one night
It's gonna be me, you and the dance floor
Cause we only got one night
Double your pleasure
Double your fun
And dance forever ever ever..."
-Forever by Chris Brown

"Come away with me and we'll kiss
On a mountain top
Come away with me
And I'll never stop loving you
And I want to wake up with the rain
Falling on a tin roof
While I'm safe there in your arms
So all I ask is for you
To come away with me in the night
Come away with me."
-Come Away With Me by Norah Jones

"Something's missing
And I don't know how to fix it
Something's missing
And I don't know what it is
No I don't know what it is
Something's different
And I don't know what it is
No I don't know what it is."
-Something's Missing by John Mayer

"I can make it
It's some state I'm in
Getting nothing every time
What did I do to deserve
The pain of this moment
And everywhere I turn
I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need to walk away from."
-Walk Away by Christina Aguilera

"I just wanna be there when you discover
You wake up in the morning
Next to your new lover
She might cook you breakfast
And love you in the shower
The flavor of the moment
Cause she don't have what's our
She's not me
She doesn't have my name
She'll never have what I have
It won't be the same
You won't be the same."
-She's Not Me by Madonna

"I'm still waiting, come through the door
I am killing time, you know bleaching your clothes
I am roasting marshmallows on the fire
And what I'm burning is your attire
I am getting restless
I am getting tested
I can't believe he is always out all night and never checks in
Is he cheating? Man I don't know
I am looking for something else to throw."
-Breaking Dishes by Rihanna

"I dug my key into the side
of his pretty little souped-up 4 wheel drive
Carved my name into his leather seat
I took a Louisville slugger to both head lights
Slashed a hole in all four tires
And maybe next time he'll think before he cheats"
-Before He Cheats by Carrie Underwood


"Grab your things and get gone
Before the sprinklers come on
Talking bout girl I love you
You're the one
This just looks like a re-run
What else is on
So don't tell me you're sorry cause you're not
Baby when I know you're only sorry you got caught"
-Take a Bow by Rihanna

"I hate everything about you
Why do I love you
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you?"
-I Hate Everything About You by Three Days Grace

"Silent I go under, I am not afraid
I can see the daylight shine and slowly drift away
Safe to say it's over, sink into the grave
There is nothing left inside but I am wide awake
I can hear the devil call my name."
-Hopeless by Breaking Benjamin

"Was it really worth it?
Was she everything you were looking for to feel like a man?
I hope you know that you can't come back
'Cause all we have is broken like shattered glass
You're gonna see me in your dreams tonight
My face is gonna haunt you all the time
I promise that you gon' want me back
When your life falls apart like shattered glass
Glass, glass, glass, glass...."
-Shattered Glass by Britney Spears

"I grieve for you
You leave me
Let it out and move on
Missing what's gone
They say life carries on
They say life carries on and on and on
Life carries on
In the people I meet
In everyone that's out on the street
In all the dogs and cats
In the flies and rats
In the rot and the rust
In the ashes and the dust
Life carries on and on and on and on
life carries on and on and on"
-I Grieve by Peter Gabriel

"Cause it makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
made my skin a little bit thicker
It makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter."
-Fighter by Christina Aguilera

"When I'm breaking down
And I can't be found
And i start to get weak
Cause no one knows
Me underneath these clothes
But I can fly
We can fly, Ooooh
Cause I am a Superwoman
Yes I am
Yes she is
Even when I'm a mess
I still put on a vest
With an S on my chest
Oh yes
I'm a Superwoman"
-Superwoman by Alicia Keys
