The NZA Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 No, i dont mean "get you in the mood" song so lets not have too much Jodeci, Vandross, Barry White etc here; i mean, if youre inclined to be romantic, what do ya find to be the most romantic song? While this aint limited to R&B, that's the genre that comes to mind for me, i guess. In rap, id say Method Man & Mary J's "All that I need", but this topic came about by listenin to Craig David "Rendezvous" & Boyz II Men "Pass You By". Even so, im goin with an old one (Spiffy'll back me here if he ever reads this)... PM Dawn, "Die without you". Maybe its the piano, i dunno. :heart: :ill: What bout the rest of ya?

JunkerSeed Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 Hmm, hard to say, good thread idea... One of my favorites has always been "Punchdrunk Lovesick Singalong" By radiohead... you sort of have to hear it to appreciate it, but the lyrics are great, I think. "I wrapped you inside my coat When they came to firebomb the house I didn't feel pain, 'cause no-one can touch me Now that I'm held in your spell A beautiful girl A beautiful girl Can turn your world into dust Sell me a car that goes Sell me a house that stands I never cared before, I never cared before I never cared before, before, before, before A beautiful girl A beautiful girl Can turn your world into dust I stood in front of her face When the first bullet was shot..."

Reverend Jax Posted July 23, 2002 Share Posted July 23, 2002 How about the 50s classic "If You Wanna Be Happy" by Jimmy Soul? If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life Never make a pretty woman your wife So from my personal point of view Get an ugly girl to marry you If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life Never make a pretty woman your wife So from my personal point of view Get an ugly girl to marry you A pretty woman makes her husband look small And very often causes his downfall As soon as he marries her then she starts To do the things that will break his heart But if you make an ugly woman your wife you'll be happy for the rest of your life An ugly woman cooks meals on time And she'll always give you peace of mind If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life Never make a pretty woman your wife So from my personal point of view Get an ugly girl to marry you Don't let your friends say you have no taste Go ahead and marry anyway Though her face is ugly, her eyes don't match Take it from me, she's a better catch If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life Never make a pretty woman your wife So from my personal point of view Get an ugly girl to marry you Say man! Hey baby! I saw your wife the other day! Yeah? Yeah, an' she's ug-leeee! Yeah, she's ugly, but she sure can cook, baby! Yeah, alright! If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life Never make a pretty woman your wife So from my personal point of view Get an ugly girl to marry you If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life Never make a pretty woman your wife So from my personal point of view Get an ugly girl to marry you If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life Never make a pretty woman your wife So from my personal point of view Get an ugly girl to marry you If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life Never make a pretty woman your wife So from my personal point of view Get an ugly girl to marry you Side note: It is bad luck to sing this song at weddings. The bribes tend not to like it and every wedding I've attended where this song was sung led to a divorce eventually. But seriously, as far as straight up romantic songs, I've have to say something my Van Morrison. He did those kinds of songs pretty well IMO.

Heartlessbitch Posted July 23, 2002 Share Posted July 23, 2002 i'm a sucka for the donna's cover of "keep on loving you" "you should have seen by the look in my eyes baby..there was something missing..you should have known by the tone in my voice baby, but you didn't listen.. you lay dead..but you never bled, instead you lay strewn in the grass all caught up in kisses..and i know all about those girls, still i don't remember..cause it was us baby way before them..and we're still together.. and i meant, every word i said, when i said that i love you i meant, that i'd love you forever..and i'm gonna keep on loving you, cause it's the only thing i wanna do..i don't wanna sleep, i just wanna keep on loving you" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted July 23, 2002 Share Posted July 23, 2002 As far as Van Morrison goes, "Jackie Wilson Said (I'm In Heaven When You Smile)", "Tupelo Honey", "Crazy Love" and "These Dreams of You" are pretty good. And Ritchie Valens' "Donna" is pretty romantic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TulipO Posted October 7, 2002 Share Posted October 7, 2002 I'm gonna have to go with The Pogues again. Rainy night in Soho. The original version from Poguetry in Motion, not the one with all the horns on the best of album. "I've been lovin you a long time Count all the years down all the days And I've cried for all your troubles Smiled at your funny little ways. We watched our friends grow up together And we saw them as they fell Some of them fell into heaven Some of them fell into hell Now the song is nearly over We may never find out what it means But there's a light I hold before me And you're the measure of my dreams" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ganny McVagflaps Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 Hmmm, Jax called a great one with Jackie Wilson Said and Tu called a better one with Rainy night in Soho but I'm going for Sisqo's Thong song...okay maybe this once I won't....So ladies and gentlemen, the first non-Sisqo, non-Saved by the Bell 2T post... Okay, so this first one, I think is just a sweet song as it just says no matter what we have we have us and then maybe something extra. Danny's Song People smile and tell me I'm the lucky one We've just begun, I think I'm gonna have a son He will be like you and me, free as a dove Conceived in love, the sun is gonna shine above Even though we ain't got money I'm so in love with ya honey Everything will bring a chain of love In the mornin' when I rise Bring a tear of joy to my eyes And tell me everything's gonna be all right Love a girl who holds the world in a paper cup Drink it up, love her and she'll bring you luck If ya find she helps your mind, better take her home Oh dontcha live alone, try to earn what lovers own Even though we ain't got money I'm so in love with ya honey Everything will bring a chain of love In the mornin' when I rise Bring a tear of joy to my eyes And tell me everything's gonna be all right Even though we ain't got money I'm so in love with ya honey Everything will bring a chain of love In the mornin' when I rise Bring a tear of joy to my eyes And tell me everything's gonna be all right Even though we ain't got money I'm so in love with ya honey Everything will bring a chain of love In the mornin' when I rise Bring a tear of joy to my eyes And tell me everything's gonna be all right An age old classic... Brown Eyed Girl Hey where did we go, Days when the rains came Down in the hollow, Playin' a new game, Laughing and a running hey, hey Skipping and a jumping In the misty morning fog with Our hearts a thumpin' and you My brown eyed girl, You my brown eyed girl. Whatever happened To Tuesday and so slow Going down the old mind With a transistor radio Standing in the sunlight laughing, Hiding behind a rainbow's wall, Slipping and sliding All along the water fall, with you My brown eyed girl, You my brown eyed girl. So hard to find my way, Now that I'm all on my own. I saw you just the other day, My how you have grown, Cast my memory back there, Lord Sometime I'm overcome thinking 'bout Making love in the green grass Behind the stadium with you My brown eyed girl You my brown eyed girl The girl I fell hardest in love with sang me this song so it makes the grade... Oh, I could hide 'neath the wings Of the bluebird as she sings. The six o'clock alarm would never ring. But it rings and I rise, Wipe the sleep out of my eyes. My shavin' razor's cold and it stings. Cheer up, Sleepy Jean. Oh, what can it mean. To a daydream believer And a homecoming queen. You once thought of me As a white knight on a steed. Now you know how happy I can be. Oh, and our good times start and end Without dollar one to spend. But how much, baby, do we really need. Cheer up, Sleepy Jean. Oh, what can it mean. To a daydream believer And a homecoming queen. Cheer up, Sleepy Jean. Oh, what can it mean. To a daydream believer And a homecoming queen. Cheer up, Sleepy Jean. Oh, what can it mean. To a daydream believer And a homecoming queen. And the final choice is a new'n but a gudd'n... Utsukushii Shibuya I've been thrown the gaijin glare for so long by now I take the scorn in stride got no time for pride that only serves to divide got no time for miscommunication I've been trying to set this straight for so long trying to hammer out what's bent you trust in my intent you must be heaven sent and I've been trying to let you know that i love you so I've been trying to find a girl for so long that tears have often filled my eyes under azure skies as we said our last goodbyes I was trying to let you know that I love you so I love you so you'll never know but I love you so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent Bob Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 (edited) My picks are usually cheesy, but hey, love is. Hands Down Dashboard Confessional Breathe in for luck, breathe in so deep This air is blessed you share with me This night is wild, so calm and dull These hearts they race from self control Your legs are smooth as they graze mine We're doing fine We're doing nothing at all My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me So won't you kill me So I die happy My heart is yours to fill or burst To break or bury Or wear as jewelry Whichever you prefer The words are hushed, let's not get busted Just lay entwined here, undiscovered Safe from the earth and all the stupid questions "Hey did you get some?" Man, that is so dumb Stay quiet, stay near, stay close, they can't hear So we can get some My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me So won't you kill me So I die happy My heart is yours to fill or burst To break or bury Or wear as jewelry Whichever you prefer Hands down This is the best day that I can ever remember I'll always remember the sound Of the stereo, the dim of soft lights And the scent of your hair that you twirled in your fingers, And the time on the clock when we realized it's so late And the walk that we shared together The street was wet and the gate was locked So I jumped it and let you in And we stood at your day with your hands on my waist And you kissed me like you meant it And I knew that you meant it, that you meant it, that you meant it And I knew that you meant it, that you meant it. Painted on My Heart The Cult I thought you'd be out of my mind And I'd finally found a way to learn to live without you I thought it was just a matter of time 'Til I had a hundred reasons not to think about you But it's just not so And after all this time I still can't let go I've still got your face Painted on my heart Scrawled upon my soul Etched upon my memory, baby And I've got your kiss still Burning on my lips The touch of my fingertips Is love so deep inside of me, baby I've tried everything that I can To get my heart to forget you But it just can't seem to I guess it's just no use In every part of me There's still a part of you I've still got your face Painted on my heart Scrawled upon my soul Etched upon my memory, baby And I've got your kiss still Burning on my lips The touch of my fingertips Is love so deep inside of me, baby Something in your eyes keeps haunting me I'm trying to escape you and I know there ain't no way to To chase you from my mind I've still got your face Painted on my heart Scrawled upon my soul Etched upon my memory, baby And I've got your kiss still Burning on my lips The touch of my fingertips Is love so deep inside of me, baby If You're Not the One Daniel Beddingfield If you're not the one then why does my soul feel glad today? If you're not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way? If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call? If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all? I never know what the future brings, but I know you're here with me now We'll make it through and I hope that you are the one I share my life with I don't wanna run away but I can't take it, I don't understand If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am? Is there anyway that I can stay in your arms? If I don't need you then why am I crying on my bed? If I don't need you then why does your name resound in my head? If you're not for me then why does this distance maim my life? If you're not for me then why do I dream of you as my wife? I don't know why you're so far away but I know that this much is true We'll make it through and I hope you are the one I share my life with And wish that you could be the one I die with And I pray you'll be the one I build my home with I don't wanna run away but I can't take it, I don't understand If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am? Is there anyway that I can stay in your arms? Cause I miss you, body and soul, so strong that it takes my breath away And I breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today Cause I love you, whether it's wrong or right And though I can't be with you tonight You know my heart is by your side I don't wanna run away but I can't take it, I don't understand If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am? Is there anyway that I can stay in your arms? And dealing with love in a humorous way. Ok, not even love, just... Alright I just wanted to put the lyrics, ok? HermAphrodite Stephen Lynch She's part girl, she's part boy She's got parts everyone can enjoy She's got more, she's got less She's got her manhood tucked in her dress, yeah Is she a mister or is she a miss? Does she stand up when she's taking a piss? She's my little girl, yeah, she's my little guy When I try to please her I get poked in the eye. She wears lace and she wears flannel She watches football and the Lifetime channel What's that bulge under her nightie? It must be HermAphrodite Some things are white, some things are black Some girls wear makeup, mine shaves her back She's still beautiful, she's still fine It's too bad her package is bigger than mine She can't help her imperfections She gets jock itch from her yeast infection Who stole all my tightie whiteys? It must be HermAphrodite Yeeeeeeeeeea-ea-ea-ea-ea-yeah, HermAphrodite Edited June 20, 2003 by Silent Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent Bob Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 Shameless (always liked the lyrics) Billy Joel Well I'm shameless when it comes to loving you I'd do anything you want me to I'd do anything at all And I'm standing here for all the world to see There ain't that much left of me That has very far to fall You know I'm not a man who has ever been Insecure about the world I've been living in I don't break easy, I have my pride But if you need to be satisfied I'm shameless, baby I don't have a prayer Anytime I see you standing there I go down upon my knees And I'm changing, I swore I'd never compromise But you convinced me otherwise I'll do anything you please You see in all my life I've never found What I couldn't resist, what I couldn't turn down I could walk away from anyone I ever knew But I can't walk away from you I have never let anything have this much control over me Cause I worked too hard to call my life my own Yes I made myself a world and it worked so perfectly But it's your world now, I can't refuse I never had so much to lose I'm shameless...shameless You know it should be easy for a man who's strong To say he's sorry or admit when he's wrong I've never lost anything I ever missed But I've never been in love like this... It's out of my hands I'm shameless, I don't have the power now But I don't want it anyhow So I've got to let it go I'm shameless, shameless as a man can be You can make a total fool of me I just wanted you to know I am shameless Shameless Shameless... Your Song (classic) Elton John It's a little bit funny this feeling inside I'm not one of those who can easily hide I don't have much money but boy if I did I'd buy a big house where we both could live If I was a sculptor, but then again, no Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show I know it's not much but it's the best I can do My gift is my song and this one's for you And you can tell everybody this is your song It may be quite simple but now that it's done I hope you don't mind I hope you don't mind that I put down in words How wonderful life is while you're in the world I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song It's for people like you that keep it turned on So excuse me forgetting but these things I do You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue Anyway the thing is what I really mean Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen The Way You Look Tonight Elton John There was a time I was everything and nothing all in one When you found me I was feeling like a cloud across the sun I need to tell you How you light up every second of the day But in the moonlight You just shine like a beacon on the bay And I can't explain But it's something about the way you look tonight Takes my breath away It's that feeling I get about you, deep inside And I can't describe But it's something about the way you look tonight Takes my breath away The way you look tonight With your smile You pull the deepest secrets from my heart In all honesty I'm speechless and I don't know where to start And I can't explain But it's something about the way you look tonight Takes my breath away It's that feeling I get about you, deep inside And I can't describe But it's something about the way you look tonight Takes my breath away The way you look tonight And I can't explain But it's something about the way you look tonight Takes my breath away It's that feeling I get about you, deep inside And I can't describe But it's something about the way you look tonight Takes my breath away The way you look tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
