Jack Johnson - Sitting, Waiting, Wishing

Sitting, Waiting, Wishing
Jack Johnson

Well, I was sittin', waitin', wishin'
You believed in superstitions
Then maybe you'd see the signs
But Lord knows that this world is crueland
I ain't the Lord, no I'm just a foollearning loving somebody don't make them love you
Must I always be waitin', waitin' on you
Must I always be playin', playin' your fool
I sang your songs, I danced your dance
I gave your friends all a chance
But putting up with them
Wasn't worth ever having you
Maybe you've been through this before
But it's my first time so please ignore
The next few lines cause they're directed at you
I can't always be waitin', waitin' on you
I can't always be playin', playin' your fool
I keep playing your part
But it's not my scene
Want this plot to twist
I've had enough mysteryyou keep building it upbut then you are shooting me down
But I'm already down
Just wait a minute
Just sittin', waitin'
Just wait a minute
Just sittin', waitin'
Well, if I was in your position
I'd put down all my ammunition
I'd wonder why it had taken me so long
But Lord knows that I'm not you
And if I was, I wouldn't be so cruel
Cause waitin' on love ain't so easy to do
Must I always be waitin', waitin' on you
Must I always be playin', playin' your fool
No I can't always be waitin', waitin' on you
I can't always be playin', playin' your fool
Fool, huhumm...

The Cure - Friday I'm In Love

I'll always miss the eighties... and it has something that makes me remember about Tuesdays!

Friday I'm In Love - The Cure
Composição: Smith/Gallup/Thompson/Willians/Bamonte

I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too
Thursday I don't care about you
It's Friday I'm in love
Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday, Wednesday break my heart
Thursday doesn't even start
It's Friday I'm in love
Saturday wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday never hesitate
I don't care if monday's black
Tuesday, wednesday heart attack
Thursday never looking back
It's Friday I'm in love
Monday you can hold your head
Tuesday, Wednesday stay in bed
Oh Thursday watch the walls instead
It's Friday I'm in love
Saturday wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday never hesitate
Dressed up to the eyes
It's a wonderful surprise
To see your shoes and your spirits rise
Throwing out your frown
And just smiling at the sound
And as sleek as a shriek
Spinning round and round
Always take a big bite
It's such a gorgeous sight
To see you eat in the middle of the night
You can never get enough
Enough of this stuff
It's Friday I'm in love
I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's gray and Wednesday too
Thursday I don't care about you
It's Friday I'm in love
Mondays you can fall apart
Tuesdays wednesday break my heart
Thusrday doesn't even start
It's Friday I'm in love...
