Under and Over It by Five Finger Death Punch

Love this song, my wife hates it. In my top 10 Jams list, this song is probably 11, maybe even higher but it's hard to get down to 10 songs. I love the drumming in the background more than anything. This is a jam that I love cranking up in the car.

Did you hear the one about me being a punk?

Did you hear the one about me being a drunk?

Did you hear the one about me losing my nerve?

Or how I'm just another fucking sheep in the herd?

Did you hear about the money, how it made me change?

So funny to me, all the time that they waste.

Did you hear the one about me giving a shit?

'Cause if I ever did I don't remember it.

You can be me and I will be you.

You can live just like a star.

I'll take my sanity, you take the fame.

I'm under and over it all.

(I'm under and over it.)

Did you hear the one about me playing the game?

Selling my soul and changing my name.

Did you hear the one about me being a prick?

Did you know I don't care? You can suck my...

Did you hear the one about me trying to die?

Fist in the air and a finger to the sky.

Do I care if you hate me? Do you wanna know the truth?

C'est la vie....adiós....good riddance....fuck you!

You can be me and I will be you.

You can live just like a star.

I'll take my sanity, you take the fame.

I'm under and over it all.

(I'm under and over it.)

I, I, I'm under and over it.

I, I, I'm under and over it.

You can be me and I will be you.

You can live just like a star.

I'll take my sanity, you take the fame.

I'm under and over it all.

(I'm under and over it.)

I'm under and over it all.

(I'm under and over it.)

I, I, I'm under and over it.

I, I, I'm under and over it.

the Real Thing by Bo Bice

I must have ran across this one when I went through the playlist that Spotify sets up for me weekly, a kind of songs you may like list. I try to check it weekly, but I don't always. I have been bad about it lately. There's only 30 songs but I rarely add very many, if any, just one or two.

Every word I say, I mean it

Every single day I feel it

But sometimes when you talk

It's obvious you want to show it

So don't blow it

[Chorus]

Tell me what we got

Tell me it's a lot

Tell me it's the real thing

Tell me not to change

And always be the same

Tell me that's a good thing

It's a good thing

Tell me not to lie

Tell me not to wait

Tell me that you want

The same things as me

Tell me that it's fate

Driving me insane

Tell me it's the real thing

That keeps me hanging on

I can read the signs between us

And I feel it's inside when you come nearer

There's a stillness in the air

Like no one else is there

And every moment stays in the moment

[Chorus]

Sometimes it hurts to watch you leave

It feels like you're taking a part of me with you

I never know how it'll be I guess it's just a mystery

But is it the real thing (that keeps me hangin' on)

[Chorus:Repeat x2]

Knockin the Boots by H-Town

This was one of those 90's R&B songs that I got to know because of my brother. I was surprised at how little my wife knows any of these groups from the 90's. She claims she only listened to country but this stuff was so mainstream back then, I though everyone knew what it was.

Jaded by Aerosmith

It's Aerosmith, do I really need to say any more? I believe this is the 2nd song of theirs on here but I have a bunch more, this is one of the few from the 2000's or newer though.

Hey j-j-jaded, you got your mama's style 

But you're yesterday's child to me

So jaded

You think that's where it's at 

But is that where it's supposed to be

You're gettin' it all over me and serrated 

My my baby blue 

Yeah I been thinkin' about you

My my baby blue

Yeah you're so jaded 

And I'm the one that jaded you

Hey j-j-jaded

In all it's misery 

It will always be what I love and hated

And maybe take a ride to the other side 

We're thinkin' of

We'll slip into the velvet glove 

And be jaded

My my baby blue

Yeah I'm thinkin about you

My my baby blue

Yeah I'm so jaded

And baby I'm afraid of you

Your thinking's so complicated

I've had it all up to here

But it's so overrated

Love and hated 

Wouldn't trade it

Love me jaded

Hey j-j-jaded

There ain't no baby please

When I'm shootin the breeze with her

When everything you see is a blur

And ectasy's what you prefer

My my baby blue

Yeah I'm talkin' about you

My my baby blue

Yeah I've been thinkin' about you

My my baby blue

Yeah you're so jaded

Baby 

Jaded

Baby 

You're so jaded

'Cause I'm the one that jaded you

Babe by Styx

I was supposed to post this yesterday but I didn't get online much in the evening and forgot about it.

Love the Styx, probably my favorite band of the 80's. Even though a number of their songs that I like are in the 70's. I even seen them in concert once. This song is one of my favorites by them but definitely not my favorite.

This artist is on the Seen in Concert page.

Babe, I'm leaving, I must be on my way

The time is drawing near

My train is going, I see it in your eyes

The love, the need, your tears

But I'll be lonely without you

And I'll need your love to see me through

Please believe me, my heart is in your hands

And I'll be missing you.

You know it's you Babe

Whenever I get weary and I've had enough

Feel like giving up

You know it's you Babe

Giving me the courage and the strength I need

Please believe that it's true

Babe, I love you.

You know it's you Babe

Whenever I get weary and I've had enough

Feel like giving up

You know it's you Babe

Giving me the courage and the strength I need

Please believe that it's true

Babe, I love you.

Babe, I'm leaving, I'll say it once again

Somehow try to smile

I know the feeling we're trying to forget

If only for a while

But I'll be lonely without you

And I'll need your love to see me through

Please believe me, my heart is in your hands

And I'll be missing you

Babe, I love you.

Love Is A Battlefield by Pat Benatar

You know if I got 80's music on here that I have me some Pat Benatar. If I remember correctly, when I was adding her songs, I was surprised at how many I knew. I knew this one was her but some of her others I didn't. (I wasn't as into music back then as I am now as far as who sings what).

(We are young)

(We are young)

We are young

(Heartache to heartache)

Heartache to heartache

(We stand)

We stand

(No promises)

(No promises)

No promises

(No demands)

No demands

(Love is a battlefield)

Love is a battlefield

Whoooo-oh-oh....

We are strong

No one can tell us we're wrong

Searching our hearts for so long

Both of us knowing

Love is a battlefield

You're begging me to go

Then making me stay

Why do you hurt me so bad

It would help me to know

Do I stand in your way

Or am I the best thing you've had

Believe me

Believe me

I can't tell you why

But I'm trapped by your love

And I'm chained to your side

We are young

Heartache to heartache we stand

No promises

No demands

Love is a battlefield

We are strong

No one can tell us we're wrong

Searching our hearts for so long

Both of us knowing

Love is a battlefield

When I'm losing control

Will you turn me away

Or touch me deep inside

And when all this gets old

Will it still feel the same

There's no way this will die

But if we get much closer

I could lose control

And if your heart surrenders

You'll need me to hold

We are young

Heartache to heartache we stand

No promises

No demands

Love is a battlefield

We are strong

No one can tell us we're wrong

Searching our hearts for so long

Both of us knowing

Love is a battlefield

Rise Above This by Seether

Back when this song first came out, I loved it. Played it all the time. It's still a favorite when it comes up in the playlist. This might even be the song that got me on Seether and now I have a number of their songs on the playlist.

Take the light, and darken everything around me

Call the clowns and listen closely, I'm lost without you

Call your name every day when I feel so helpless

I'm fallen down but I'll rise above this, rise above this

Hate the mind, regrets are better left unspoken

For all we know, this void will grow

Everything's in vain, distressing you though it leaves me open

Feels so right, but I'll end this all before it gets me

Call your name every day, when I feel so helpless

I've fallen down (fallen down), but I'll rise above this, rise above this

Call your name everyday, when I seem so helpless

I've fallen down (fallen down), and I'll rise above this, rise above this doubt

I'll mend myself before it gets me

(I'll mend myself before it gets me)

I'll mend myself before it gets me

(I'll mend myself before it gets me)

Call your name every day, when I feel so helpless

I've fallen down but I'll rise above this, rise above this

Forty-eight ways to say that I'm feelin' helpless

I've falling down, falling down, but I'll rise above this, rise above this, rise above this, rise above this doubt

Bottoms Up by Brantley Gilbert

Another country artist that my wife introduced me to. I must have liked him because I ended up with a few of his songs on the playlist. This is one of those partying drinking songs which I do enjoy some of those.

I see you and me riding like Bonnie and Clyde

Goin ninety five burning down one twenty nine yeah

Looking for the law, while I push my luck

She's ridin shot gun like it ain't no thing

Turn the radio up so the girl can sing right

Pull into the party like, "Y'all wassup"

Tonight is bottoms up

Throw it on down

Rock this quiet, little country town

Get up

Drop a tailgate on ya truck

Find a keg and fill ya cup up

Kick it on back

Pretty little mama lookin at ya like that

Make ya wanna slide on in like, "Girl, what's up"

Yeah tonight is bottoms up

Get em up

Tonight is bottoms up

Get em up

Damn

Girl I gotta tip my hat

Never thought a country song would make you move like that, yeah

And she's doing it in daisy dukes

Girl she's got ya tappin on a boys shoulder

Hey dog check this out

Man, it's how them girls do it in the dirty south, yeah

She'll have you on your knee, "Can I marry you?"

Yeah tonight is bottoms up

Throw it on down

Rock this quiet, little country town

Get up

Drop a tailgate on ya truck

Find a keg and fill ya cup up

Kick it on back

Pretty little mama lookin at ya like that

Make ya wanna slide on in like, "Girl, what's up"

Yeah tonight is bottoms up

Get em up

Tonight is bottoms up

Get em up, get em up, get em up

Get em up

Hey y'all whatever ya sippin on,

Get it up in the air one time

Bottoms up

Let's give a toast to the good times

All y'all get your drinks up high

Everybody feelin alright

Damn right

Cause tonight it's bottoms up

Throw it on down

Rock this quiet, little country town

And get up, drop a tailgate on ya truck

Find a keg and fill ya cup up

Pretty little mama lookin at ya like that

Tonight is bottoms up

Throw it on down

Rock this quiet, little country town

The Way I Am by Ingrid Michaelson

I got introduced to Ingrid's music because my wife put one of her songs on "Our CD", I like her voice to go along with her music and I have added a bunch more other songs that I have gotten to know.

If you were falling, then I would catch you.

You need a light, I'd find a match.

Cause I love the way you say good morning.

And you take me the way I am.

If you are chilly, here take my sweater.

Your head is aching, I'll make it better.

Cause I love the way you call me baby.

And you take me the way I am.

I'd buy you Rogaine when you start losing all your hair.

Sew on patches to all you tear.

Cause I love you more than I could ever promise.

And you take me the way I am.

You take me the way I am.

You take me the way I am.

Letting Go by Hinder

I'm guessing this is another one added to my playlist by my daughter. Another one that isn't bad and will probably grow on me the more I hear it. The video says the title is Letting Me Go but it isn't, it is Letting Go. It took me awhile to find the info because there are a bunch of Lyrics sites and videos that all have the Letting Me Go title, but according to the album tracks list I found, it is Letting Go.

Honey where you been it's a quarter past 3

I've been calling your phone but you just let it ring

it's not like you to be breaking plans

leaving me hanging, leaving me hanging

It kinda feels like I'm drowning cause it's all sinking in

And baby I'm not stupid I'm just trying to pretend

It's not over, it's not over

So tell me why I'm holding on

to someone who's already letting go

And tell me why I'm miserable

When I hear our song on the radio

Tell me why do I try when I'm hurting inside and you fall out on your own

Tell me why I'm holding on to someone who's already letting me go

And do I wanna rebuild another bridge for you to burn

It's funny how it feels when the table's turn

It's like you're getting me back for always breaking plans 

leaving you hanging, leaving you hanging

It kinda feels like I'm dying I can barely begin

And maybe I'm just stupid because I'm trying to pretend

It's not over, it's not over

So tell me why I'm holding on

To someone who's already letting go

And tell me why I'm miserable

When I hear our song on the radio

Tell me why do I try when I'm hurting inside and you fall out on your own

Tell me why I'm holding on to someone who's already, already letting me go

Oh woh woh...

Tell me did we let it fall apart

Or were we always broken from the start

So tell me why I'm holding on

To someone who's already letting go

And tell me why I'm miserable

When I hear our song on the radio

Tell me why do I try when I'm hurting inside and you fall out on your own

Tell me why I'm holding on to someone who's already letting me go

Letting me go

Letting me go
