"You Oughta Know" - Alanis Morissette

I want you to know, that I'm happy for youI wish nothing but the best for you both

An older version of meIs she perverted like me

Would she go down on you in a theaterDoes she speak eloquently

And would she have your babyI'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother

'cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't ableTo make it enough for you to be open wide, no

And every time you speak her nameDoes she know how you told me you'd hold me

Until you died, till you diedBut you're still alive

And I'm here to remind youOf the mess you left when you went away

It's not fair to deny meOf the cross I bear that you gave to me

You, you, you oughta know

You seem very well, things look peacefulI'm not quite as well, I thought you should know

Did you forget about me Mr. DuplicityI hate to bug you in the middle of dinner

It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replacedAre you thinking of me when you f*** her?

'cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't ableTo make it enough for you to be open wide, no

And every time you speak her nameDoes she know how you told me you'd hold me

Until you died, til you died

But you're still alive

And I'm here to remind youOf the mess you left when you went away

It's not fair to deny meOf the cross I bear that you gave to me

You, you, you oughta know

'cause the joke that you laid on the bed that was meAnd I'm not gonna fade

As soon as you close your eyes and you know itAnd every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back

I hope you feel it...well can you feel it

Well, I'm here to remind youOf the mess you left when you went away

It's not fair to deny meOf the cross I bear that you gave to me

You, you, you oughta know

“Since U Been Gone” - Kelly Clarkson

Here's the thingWe started out friends

It was cool, but it was all pretend Yeah, yeah, since you been gone

You're dedicated, you took the timeWasn't long 'til I called you mineYeah, yeah, since you been goneAnd all you'd ever hear me sayIs how I picture me with you

That's all you'd ever hear me say

But since you been goneI can breathe for the first time

I'm so movin' on, yeah yeahThanks to you, now I get what I want

Since you been gone

How can I put it, you put me onI even fell for that stupid love song

Yeah, yeah, since you been goneHow come I'd never hear you say

I just wanna be with youGuess you never felt that way

But since you been goneI can breathe for the first timeI'm so movin' on, yeah, yeah

Thanks to you, now I get, I get what I wantSince you been gone

You had your chance, you blew itOut of sight, out of mind

Shut your mouth, I just can't take it

Again and again and again and again

Since you been gone (since you been gone) I can breathe for the first time

I'm so movin' on, yeah yeahThanks to you (thanks to you)Now I get, I get what I want

I can breathe for the first timeI'm so movin' on, yeah yeah

Thanks to you (thanks to you)Now I get (I get)

You should know (you should know) that I getI get what I want

Since you been goneSince you been goneSince you been gone

“Linger” - The Cranberries

If you, if you could returnDon't let it burn, don't let it fade

I'm sure i'm not being rudeBut it's just your attitude

It's tearing me apartIt's ruining everything

And i swore, i swore i would be trueAnd honey so did you

So why were you holding her handIs that the way we stand

Were you lying all the timeWas it just a game to you

But i'm in so deepYou know i'm such a fool for you

You got me wrapped around your fingerDo you have to let it linger

Do you have to, do you have toDo you have to let it linger

Oh, i thought the world of youI thought nothing could go wrong

But i was wrongI was wrong

If you, if you could get byTrying not to lie

Things wouldn't be so confusedAnd i wouldn't feel so usedBut you always really knew

I just wanna be with you

And i'm in so deepYou know i'm such a fool for you

You got me wrapped around your fingerDo you have to let it linger

Do you have to. do you have toDo you have to let it linger

And i'm in so deepYou know i'm such a fool for you

You got me wrapped around your fingerDo you have to let it linger

Do you have to, do you have toDo you have to let it linger

You know i'm such a fool for youYou got me wrapped around your finger

Do you have to let it lingerDo you have to, do you have to

Do you have to let it linger

"Outta My System" – Bow Wow (feat. T-Pain)

DamnI Just keep thinking about you (oh Baby)

I mean I wanna move on but I can't move on (oh)It's like you have some kind of hold on me and I don't Know (oh oh oh oh)

But I'mma go ahead and talk about itListen

[Verse 1]

I'm sitting looking out the window like damnTryna fix this situation that's at hand

You still running through my mind when I'm knowing that you shouldn't be,Me all on yo mind and I'm knowing that it couldn't be

Cause you ain't call and I ain't even appalledI still got a lot of pain I ain't dealt wit it all

I been running round with other chicks, I'm single and they loving it, I'm liking it but I just want theone that I was in love with.

That's not the end of it, I'm tryna let you go I can't,Get a grip of it is what I'm tryna let you know.You got a hold or some kind of control of me

I don't know what it is, but I gotta get you gone from meI'm working at it and it ain't getting no better just tryna be like, yeah, forget it, whatever Instead

of staring out this glass looking at this bad weather, damn I gotta pull myself togetherCause...

[Chorus - T-Pain]

When I'm with somebody, all I think bout is youWhen I'm all alone, that's all I wanna doI miss the smiling faces in my sidekick,

Outta town visits, all the time we spent together makes it hardto get you outta my system.

You know what you do to me (do to me)You don't even understand (damn)

You know what you do to me (do to me)It's so hard to get you outta my system.

[Verse 2]

I'm too attached, my heart won't let me fall backI got it bad, that's what you can call that (ah)

When I see you in the streets, that's the worse for meUsed to love the little things you did, that's what works for me

It's too major, don't see you on my pager,Know what you doing, where you at, or can I see you later? (Can I see you later?)

The fellas telling me 'just let her go Bow', believe me, I'm trying man, I just don't know how(Just don't know how)

I be in all the top spots, leaving with the hot shots, knowing they just want me cause I'm in the top spot

That's not poppin and my brain ain't stopping, thinkingWho she with, or where she going, is she club hopping?

I never had this kind of problem in my life, this is my first time dealing with this kind of fightIt's every night and every flight and every time you in my sight,

Damn this ain't even right, cause...

[Chorus - T-Pain]

When I'm with somebody, all I think bout is you (yeah)When I'm all alone, that's all I wanna do (yeah)

I miss the smiling faces in my sidekick,Outta town visits, all the time we spent together makes it hard

to get you outta my system. (oh)You know what you do to me (do to me)

You don't even understand (damn)You know what you do to me (do to me)It's so hard to get you outta my system.

[Hook - Bow Wow]

Is it wrong for me to feel this way, you been running through my mind all dayCan you feel me?

I been tryna get you off my mind, but I cant after all this timeThat's what kills me

Is it wrong for me to feel this way, you been running through my mind all dayCan you feel me?

I been tryna get you off my mind, but I cant after all this timeAnd it kills me

[Chorus - T-Pain]

When I'm with somebody, all I think bout is youWhen I'm all alone, that's all I wanna doI miss the smiling faces in my sidekick,

Outta town visits, all the time we spent together makes it hardto get you outta my system. (Hard to get you out)

You know what you do to me (do to me)You don't even understand (damn)

You know what you do to me (do to me)So hard to get you outta my system

[Bow Wow - speaking]

I remember everything that me and you talked aboutMe and you had our whole lives planned out together (oh oh oh oh)

And if I could, I would, turn back the hands of time and correct all my mistakes that I ever didBut now I guess I gotta move on, right?

It's still hard and I still love you till this dayPeace.

"Best I Ever Had (Grey Sky Morning)" - Vertical Horizon

So you sailed awayInto a grey sky morning

Now I'm here to stayLove can be so boring

Nothing's quite the same nowI just say your name now

[Chorus]But it's not so bad

You're only the best I ever hadYou don't want me back

You're just the best I ever had

So you stole my worldNow I'm just a phonyRemembering the girl

Leaves me down and lonely

Send it in a letterMake yourself feel better

[Chorus]But it's not so bad

You're only the best I ever hadYou don't need me back

You're just the best I ever had

And it may take some time toPatch me up inside

But I can't take it so IRun away and hide

And I may find in time thatYou were always right

You're always right

So you sailed awayInto a grey sky morning

Now I'm here to stayLove can be so boring

What was it you wantedCould it be I'm haunted

[Chorus]But it's not so bad

You're only the best I ever hadI don't want you back

You're just the best I ever hadThe best I ever had

The best I ever

“This Used to be my Playground” - Madonna

This used to be my playground (used to be)This used to be my childhood dream

This used to be the place I ran toWhenever I was in need

Of a friendWhy did it have to end

And why do they always say

Don't look backKeep your head held high

Don't ask them whyBecause life is short

And before you knowYou're feeling old

And your heart is breakingDon't hold on to the past

Well that's too much to ask

[Long and movie versions only:]

[chorus]Live and learn

Well the years they flewAnd we never knew

We were foolish thenWe would never tire

And that little fireIs still alive in me

It will never go awayCan't say goodbye to yesterday (can't say goodbye)

[chorus]

No regrets

But I wish that youWere here with me

Well then there's hope yetI can see your faceIn our secret place

You're not just a memorySay goodbye to yesterday (the dream)

Those are words I'll never say (I'll never say)

This used to be my playground (used to be)This used to be our pride and joy

This used to be the place we ran toThat no one in the world could dare destroy

[Short and movie versions only:]

This used to be our playground (used to be)This used to be our childhood dreamThis used to be the place we ran to

I wish you were standing here with me

[Movie version only:]

This used to be our playground (used to be)This used to be our great escape

This used to be the place we ran toThis used to be our secret hiding place

This used to be our playground (used to be)This used to be our childhood dreamThis used to be the place we ran to

The best things in life are always freeWishing you were here with me

“So Sick” - NeYo

Mmmm mmm yeahDo do do do do do do-do... Ohh Yeah

Gotta change my answering machineNow that I'm alone

Cuz right now it says that weCan't come to the phone

And I know it makes no senseCuz you walked out the door

But it's the only way I hear your voice anymore(it's ridiculous)It's been months

And for some reason I just(can't get over us)

And I'm stronger then this(enough is enough)

No more walkin roundWith my head down

I'm so over being blueCryin over you

And I'm so sick of love songsSo tired of tears

So done with wishing you were still hereSaid I'm so sick of love songs so sad and slow

So why can't I turn off the radio?

Gotta fix that calender I haveThat's marked July 15th

Because since there's no more youThere's no more anniversary

I'm so fed up with my thoughts of youAnd your memory

And how every song reminds me

Of what used to be

That's the reason I'm so sick of love songsSo tired of tears

So done with wishing you were still hereSaid I'm so sick of love songs so sad and slow

So why can't I turn off the radio?

(Leave me alone)Leave me alone

(Stupid love songs)Dont make me think about her smile

Or having my first childLet it go

Turning off the radio

Cuz I'm so sick of love songsSo tired of tears

So done with wishing she was still hereSaid I'm so sick of love songs so sad and slow

So why can't I turn off the radio?(why can't I turn off the radio?)

Said I'm so sick of love songsSo tired of tears

So done with wishing she was still hereSaid I'm so sick of love songs so sad and slow

So why can't I turn off the radio?(why can't I turn off the radio?)

“Cup of Coffee” - Garbage

You tell me you dont love me over a cup of coffeeAnd I just have to look awayA million miles between us

Planets crashing to dustI just let it fade away

I'm walking empty streets hoping we might meetI see your car parked on the road

The light on at your windowI know for sure that you're home

But I just have to pass on by

So no of course we cant be friendsNot while I'm still this obsessedI guess I always knew the score

This is how our story ends

I smoke your brand of cigarettesAnd pray that you might give me a call

I lie around in bed all day just staring at the wallsHanging round bars at night wishing I had never been born

And give myself to anyone who wants to take me home

So no of course we cant be friendsNot while I still feel like this

I guess I always knew the scoreThis is where our story ends

You left behind some clothesMy belly somersaults when I pick them off the floor

My friends all say they're worriedI'm looking far too skinny

I've stopped returning all their calls

And no of course we cant be friendsNot while Im still so obsessed

I want to ask where I went wrongBut dont say anything at all

It took a cup of coffeeTo prove that you don't love me
