SPOKEN WORD THURSDAY – NO APOLOGIES

Posted on by Jixi Fox

im-sorry

Why should I say sorry,
Am I bored,
Can’t afford your woes,
To help you realize,
You are just a child,
Trapped,
Needing an awakening,
Wise up,
Better yet,
Get tough,
All I got for you is love,
It may be harder than what everyone is giving,
But aren’t you trying to be harder tomorrow,
If you going to cry today?
So listen to these words,
Be yourself,
Take time out to let yourself go,
Come back another day,
Humble,
Ready to go harder in life,
Peaceful.

Wanna Be Loved

Artist: Buju Banton
Album: ‘Til Shiloh
Released: 1995

#92

Lyrics:

Wanna be loved
Not for who you think I am
Nor what you want me to be
Could you love me for me?
Real love, with no strings attached
I wanna give you me heart
Don’t want to take it back
This is my chat-cho

Been searching for a long long time
For that oh-so-true love
To comfort this heart of mine
No pretense stop wasting my time
A virtuous woman is really hard to find
I’m telling you lady
I’m only human, not looking for impossibility
Just a genuine woman with sincerity
Someone who is always near to hold me
Show me you care, up front and boldly
Don’t shun my feelings, all the positive meanings
Love me morning, noon all seasons

Wanna be loved
Not for who you think I am
Nor what you want me to be
Could you love me for me?
Real love, with no strings attached

POETIC ART WEDNESDAY – RELATIONSHIP GOALS

Posted on by Jixi Fox

Poetic Photography by Alice Litwin Alice Litwin

My goal is to be with you,
Loved,
Cherished and held in comfort,
Delighted by your smile and touch,
This is what we work for,
A pure heart and much,
More of completeness,
New excitements,
Just us,
Memories that floats daily in our heads,
Love not lust,
These are our goals that we share,
Harder when a far,
Best when near.

I Will Always Love You

Artist: Whitney Houston

Lyrics:

If I should stay
I would only be in your way
So I’ll go but I know
I’ll think of you every step of the way

And I… will always love you, ooh
Will always love you
You
My darling, you…
Mmm-mm

Bittersweet memories –
That is all I’m taking with me.
So good-bye.
Please don’t cry:
We both know I’m not what you, you need

And I… will always love you
I… will always love you
You, ooh

[Instrumental / Sax solo]

I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you’ve dreamed of
And I wish you joy and happiness
But above all this I wish you love

And I… will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you

In 1992, R&B singer Whitney Houston recorded the song for the soundtrack to The Bodyguard, her film debut.

Posted on by Jixi Fox

aerosmith - i dont want to miss a thing

I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing

Artist: Aerosmith

#94

Lyrics:

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you’re far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure

Don’t want to close my eyes
I don’t want to fall asleep
‘Cause I’d miss you baby
And I don’t want to miss a thing
‘Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I’d still miss you baby
And I don’t want to miss a thing

Lie close to you feeling your heart beating
And I’m wondering what you’re dreaming

“I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” is a power ballad performed by American hard rock band Aerosmith for the 1998 film Armageddon.

RACING LIFE

Posted on by Jixi Fox

RACING LIFE

racing

As soon as I pull up,
I popped the trunk,
Trunk filled with junk,
Threw everything out,
Then I bounced,
Back in the race,
Ready to win.

Posted on by Jixi Fox

outkast - b o b

B.O.B.

Artist: Outkast

#95

Lyrics:

yeah!
In-slum-national, underground
Thunder pounds when I stomp the ground (Woo!)
Like a million elephants with silverback orangutans
You can’t stop a train
Who want some? Don’t come un-pre-pared
I’ll be there, but when I leave there
Better be a household name
Weather man tellin’ us it ain’t gon’ rain
So now we sittin’ in a drop-top, soakin wet
In a silk suit, tryin’ not to sweat
Hits somersaults without the net
But this’ll be the year that we won’t forget

“B.O.B” (“Bombs Over Baghdad”) is a song by American rap duo OutKast from their fourth studio album Stankonia (2000).
