Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
NELLY: Am I throwin’ you off?
TIMBERLAND: Nope
NELLY: Didn’t think so.
[Verse 1]
TIMBERLAND:
How you doin’ young lady?
That feelin’ that you givin’ really drives me crazy
You don’t haveta play about the joke
I was at a loss of words first time that we spoke
NELLY:
If you looking for a girl that’ll treat you right
If you lookin’ for her in the day time with the light
TIMBERLAND:
You might be the type if I play my cards right
I'll find out by the end of the night
NELLY:
You expect me to just let you hit it
But will you still respect me if you get it
TIMBERLAND:
All I can do is try, gimme one chance
What’s the problem I don’t see no ring on your hand
I be the first to admit it, I’m curious about you, you seem so innocent
NELLY:
You wanna get in my world, get lost in it
Boy I’m tired of running, lets walk for a minute
[Chorus]
TIMBERLAND:
Promiscuous girl
Wherever you are
I’m all alone
And it's you that I want
NELLY:
Promiscuous boy
You already know
That I’m all yours
What you waiting for?
TIMBERLAND:
Promiscuous girl
You're teasing me
You know what I want
And I got what you need
NELLY:
Promiscuous boy
Let's get to the point
Cause we're on a roll
You ready?
[Verse 2]
NELLY:
Roses are red
Some diamonds are blue
Chivalry is dead
But you're still kinda cute
TIMBERLAND:
Hey! I can't keep my mind off you
Where you at, do you mind if I come through
NELLY:
I’m out of this world come with me to my planet
Get you on my level do you think that you can handle it?
TIMBERLAND:
They call me Thomas
last name Crown
Recognize game
I'm a lay mine's down
NELLY:
I'm a big girl I can handle myself
But if I get lonely I’ma need your help
Pay attention to me I don't talk for my health
TIMBERLAND: I want you on my team
NELLY: So does everybody else.
TIMBERLAND:
Shh, baby we can keep it on the low
Let your guard down ain’t nobody gotta know
If you with it girl I know a place we can go
NELLY:
What kind of girl do you take me for?
[Chorus]
TIMBERLAND:
Promiscuous girl
Wherever you are
I’m all alone
And it's you that I want
NELLY:
Promiscuous boy
You already know
That I’m all yours
What you waiting for?
TIMBERLAND:
Promiscuous girl
You're teasing me
You know what I want
And I got what you need
NELLY:
Promiscuous boy
Lets get to the point
Cause we're on a roll
Are you ready?
[Verse 3]
TIMBERLAND: Don't be mad, don't get mean
NELLY: Don't get mad, don't be mean
TIMBERLAND: Don't be mad, don't get mean
NELLY: Don't get mad, don't be mean
TIMBERLAND:
Wait! I don't mean no harm
I can see you with my t-shirt on
NELLY:
I can see you with nothing on
Feeling on me before you bring that on
TIMBERLAND: Bring that on
NELLY: You know what I mean
TIMBERLAND: Girl, I’m a freak you shouldn't say those things
NELLY:
I’m only trying to get inside your brain
To see if you can work me the way you say
TIMBERLAND:
It's okay, it's alright
I got something that you gon' like
NELLY:
Hey is that the truth or are you talking trash
Is your game M.V.P. like Steve Nash
[Chorus]
TIMBERLAND:
Promiscuous Girl
Wherever you are
I’m all alone
And its you that I want
NELLY:
Promiscuous Boy
I'm calling your name
But you're driving me crazy
The way you're making me wait
TIMBERLAND:
Promiscuous Girl
You're teasing me
You know what I want
And I got what you need
NELLY:
Promiscuous Boy
We're one in the same
So we don't gotta play games no more
TIMBERLAND: Nope
NELLY: Didn’t think so.

its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Corpse I Fell In Love With
Gadjits, The
Gadjits, The
He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
it's definitly not like nelly furtado at all. definitly not her style.
