Whatever It Takes To Keep You

I’m bruised. I’m bloodied. I’m battered.

And I know that our outcome appears bleak, but I’m far from deterred. I still love you … that’s just a reality that we both have to accept. So if my words and actions no longer elicit any type of positive response from you, then maybe this song can. As simple as the lyrics may be, they were made for this moment. Feel my heartbeat through these words …. please.

Fly Question of the Day: Has there ever been a song that did a better job of articulating your feelings for someone? Let me know.

The Lyrics

Oh, what can I do girl?
So much in love girl
But your friends got you thinkin’
And it’s affecting you
What can I do girl
So in love girl
And I don’t know what to do
‘Cause I don’t wanna lose you

No what would I do without your love
Baby it’s heaven sent from above
So you don’t believe
What your friends tell you about me

I’m still the man for you
And I’m still the man that’s true
And I’m still the man who’s lucky
And I’m still in love with you
It don’t matter what your friends do
They’re just jealous of me and you
And I’ll always keep you happy
‘Cause I’m still in love with you
I’m still in love

    I love the heart and the talent of a song writer…their way they can convey the emotions and feelings that so many may have deep inside but cant pull out…this song speaks to how I feel right and makes me smile everytime I hear it…He is my beautiful surprise

    “Beautiful Surprise”

    It’s like yesterday
    I didn’t even know your name
    Now today
    You’re always on my mind
    I never could have predicted that I feel this way
    You are beautiful surprise
    Intoxicated every time I hear your voice
    You’ve got me on a natural high
    It’s almost like I didn’t even have a choice
    You are a beautiful surprise

    Whatever it is you came to teach me
    I am here to learn it cause
    I believe that we are written in the stars
    I don’t know what the future holds
    But I’m living in the moment
    And I’m thankful for the man that you are, you are, you are
    You are everything I ask for in my prayers
    So I know my angels brought you to my life
    Your energy is healing to my soul
    You are a beautiful surprise
    You are an inspiration to my life
    You are the reason why I smile
    You are a beautiful surprise

    @Erica,

    i’ll be first to admit that songs are what i use to display whatever emotion i need to when i can’t articulate the words myself…this song right here tho! man, expresses alot right now. i think music is the greatest form of expression, lyrics and instruments (sometimes none are needed) reach pits in my soul that plain ol’ words can…if i had to say right now….a song that i’d use to describe my situation to my Significant Other is “All I Ever Think About Is You” Off Chrisette Michelle’s latest release….the whole cd has me written all over it, but that song right there,….whooo! lol…& you have been on a roll all week, belting out these nerve hitting posts *claps* =)

    Luther Vandross “I’d Rather” is the one song that can bring tears to my eyes just about EVERY time I hear it. The words are so powerful!!

    And I tried and found out this one thing is true
    that I’m nothing without you
    I know better now and I’ve had a change of heart
    I’d rather have bad times with you
    than good times with someone else
    I’d rather be beside you in a storm
    than safe a warm by myself
    I’d rather have hard times together than to have it easy apart
    I rather have the one who holds my heart…

    Brandy-Something’s Missing

    Bom clap bom clap bom clap bom clap bom clap bom clap .. clap

    I’m feeling such a vacancy, I don’t feel whole (oh oh)
    Wish I can put my finger on it but I don’t know what it is
    (I) looked in every place I could see
    Tryin to find the missing part of me
    I can’t explain this feeling (feeling)

    (Du du du) Feels like I’m on a long journey going in circles
    And I ain’t even going nowhere
    I’m lost in the middle of nowhere
    Something is missing
    Can’t somebody help me?
    Something is missing
    I’m missing a part of me
    Something is missing
    Show me what it is
    Show me what’s missing yeaah
    Missing

    I’m in a dark room in a bad position
    I’m looking for the light to restore my vision (vision)
    ‘Cause I’m walking blind, I keep falling down
    I can’t find my way (can’t find my way)
    I can’t explain this feeling

    (Du du du) Feels like I’m on a long journey going in circles
    And I ain’t even going nowhere
    I’m lost in the middle of nowhere
    Something is missing
    Can’t somebody help me?
    Something is missing
    I’m missing a part of me
    Something is missing
    Show me what it is
    Show me what’s missing
    Missing

    Feels like I’m leaving something behind
    Can’t think straight, something’s on my mind
    Can’t pay attention, ‘cuz I’m all so broke
    Can’t find the words, ‘cuz they all been spoke
    The answer’s gonna be right in my face
    What I gotta do to fill this empty space? whoaaaaaaaaa

    Feels like I’m on a long journey going in circles (circles)
    And I ain’t even going nowhere
    I’m lost in the middle of nowhere
    Something is missing
    Can’t somebody help me?
    Something is missing
    I’m missing a part of me
    Something is missing
    Show me what it is
    Show me what it is

    Feels like I’m on a long journey going in circles
    And I ain’t even going nowhere
    I’m lost in the middle of nowhere
    Something is missing
    Can’t somebody help me?
    Something is missing
    I’m missing a part of me
    Something is missing
    Show me what it is
    Show me what’s missing .. ooohh

    John Legend “I love, you love” i think, pulls me out of myself and I just feel. Its amazing the impact it has on me, because it is pretty much on point. I love freely and openly.

    Hush my baby, Don’t you cry.
    I’ll dry your eyes. Fulfill your heart’s desire.
    Let’s go in. Try again.
    Careful this time. Broken promises linger in our mind.

    I’ll give in completely. Hearts break so easy.
    I know. Believe me. Oh, I’ve tried.
    But my arms can hold you. My kiss console you.
    I’ll come and love you tonight.

    And I…
    I love, I love, I love
    Love hurts sometimes
    But this feels right.

    You…
    You love, you love, you love
    Though you’ve been burned
    You still return.

    Come and share my house, my home, and all I own.
    I’d love to give to you.
    Aren’t you tired of going along this lonely road?
    It takes its toll on you.

    Give me your emotion, your heart’s devotion.
    Give anything you like.
    And I’ll give understanding. Life’s so demanding.
    I’m all you need to get by.

    And I…
    I love, I love, I love
    Love hurts sometimes
    But this feels right.

    And You…
    You love, you love, you love
    Though you’ve been burned
    You still return.

    I love, I love, I love
    Love hurts sometimes
    But this feels right.

    And You…
    You love you love you love
    Though you’ve been burned
    You still return.

    Still return
    Still return to love (Oh)
    Keep coming back to love (Ah oh)

    John Lengend’s “This Time” and Sia “Butterflies” are so perfect. I love that I can always find a song to identify with for any emotion.

    Ran into you yesterday
    Memories rushed through my brain
    It’s starting to hit me
    Now you’re not with me
    I realized I made a mistake
    I thought I needed some space
    But I just let love go to waste
    It’s so crystal clear now
    That I need you here now
    I got to get you back today

    [Chorus]
    This time I want it all
    This time I want it all
    Showing you all the cards
    Giving you all my heart
    This time I’ll take the chance
    This time I’ll be a man
    I can be all you need
    This time is all of me

    I hit the bar every night
    Looking to score a good time
    It’s not like I planed it
    We left empty handed
    I’m still alone in my mind
    Now what will it take to feel right
    Can I come see you tonight?
    Is there someone new now?
    What can I do now?
    Cuz I need you back by my side

    [This Time Lyrics On http://www.elyricsworld.com/ ]
    [Chorus]
    This time I want it all
    This time I want it all
    Showing you all the cards
    Giving you all my heart
    This time I’ll take the chance
    This time I’ll be a man
    I can be all you need
    This time is all of me

    Last time I wasn’t sure
    This time I will give you more
    I’m more mature
    I’ll show you
    Last time I didn’t know
    I messed up and let you go
    I need you, don’t say no
    Lying alone in this room
    All that is missing is you
    Pick up the phone
    Won’t you come home?

    [Chorus]
    This time I want it all
    This time I want it all
    Showing you all the cards
    Giving you all my heart
    This time I’ll take the chance
    This time I’ll be a man
    I can be all you need
    This time is all of me
