I just wanted to share the lyrics from my favorite song with you all......

No Happy Holidays

I can't believe
After all this time
I'm in love with a man
Who can never be mine
And just to think
I believed one day you'd really leave
Like you said you would
Cause you don't love her
But your little girl really needs you, oh

Chorus:
Christmas you weren't with me
On New Year's Eve you were not around
Valentine came and went
Makes me wonder where your time was spent
No fireworks on the Fourth of July
Thanksgiving was another lie
Your family has never met me
And you've never met mine
No happy holiday

I got to let go of this feeling
Being with you deprives me of true love
I can't fathom living this life
Without being number one
This is finally goodbye
I pray to God you live a happy life
Cause loving you just ain't right

Chorus

I wish I had known
The situation from the start
Now it's complicated because
I gave you my heart
Honestly I held on
For my ego, my pride
But what goes around comes around
But maybe next time I'll be on the other side

As you can tell Mary J. Blige is my favorite artist because I feel exactly what she's singing about....These are only a few of my favorites.......

Let your lips taste the fullness of mine and they will stop trembling, let your eyes gaze upon the wonder that is a true Omega man and they will stop crying, place your body within the strong embrace that is the embodiment of Manhood and you will never feel abandoned. Satisfy your hunger for love with a meal of dark chocolate Man who understands the yearning, passions, needs, wants, and desires of his Black Queen and you will sing a new song.

Maybe an Alpha man isn't the best for me if Omega men can say things like that!!
(just jokes!!)

Yessss Professor, I was just joking. if my boyfriend (an Alpha) saw the comment I made and I didn't say that I was just joking, he would have some words for me!

I don't know how familiar you may be with Alanis Morrisette, but "You Oughtta Know" off of her first album is a really good "I'm angry, and I should break all of your stuff, you rotten troll" type song.

DAMN!!!! Excuse me, I need a moment!

[Salience]

Why is "bitter" my CUT? Even one of my profs said to me," Why is that when I see you, that Chante Moore song comes to my head?" We're cool, so I just LOL.

Anywho, I just called it quits with the dating scene here, so there'll be no getting back into it. People scoff, but I really don't think my soul mate is here. Even the guys I think are nice have something serious wrong with them. I digress.

But two more songs I like are "Cool As I Am" by Dar Williams, and that song by Monifah (I think it's her) called "I Can Tell."

You know what...I looked for this post and I went and listened to this song. I was all crying and stuff...and I just burst out laughing when she said "I hate your dog!" I really feel like that!!!!


**edit to add**
Cry me a River....Justin Timberlake

[ladeia]

I am suprise that nobody said Gloria Gaynor's all time classic "I will survive", dang that song was written just for me !

LaDeia
"...black is a color of beauty and mystery...one in the same..."

[OOhsoflyDELTA#9]

" I Will Survive" the Shantay Savage version........

"Let's just kiss and say good-bye" the Manhattens" (I may have spelled that wrong but ya'll know the song)


One of my favorites is I'll do Anything for you" by Gloria Estefan

here's a quote from the song

" I'll do anything for you....but give you up...thats what I should do....to make you happy.....I can pretend each time I see you, that I don't care and I don't need you...... and though you'll never let see me crying...I know inside I feel like dying....I hope you find someone to please you..someone who cares and really needs you...but if that someone ever hurts you...and you need a friend to turn to.....I'd still do anything for you...."

(this is deep sistasfriends...I've been there!!!)


"Ex-Factor" by Lauren Hill

"You oughta to know" by Alantis Morrisette

I probably could name a hundred more because I love music so much but last I'll put a new joint.....it's #4 on Heather Headley's CD and I believe its called "I Wish"

I hope none of my Sorors or Sistafriends needs this list right now but if so I say "*@#! em girl, he didn't deserve you anyway!"

[AKA2D '91]

I like Shantay's version as well.

Also, I liked "Anything for you." I loved the end where those "horns" were playing...

A few songs on Blu Cantrell's CD. I'm sorry, I don't know the titles, but If you have the CD, you know what I'm talking about...
