On the music reviewing/ cataloguing site rateyourmusic.com, a reviewer of Taylor Swift's first album commented that it was "Almost like a country girl version of the early Beatles." When I first saw that review, it made me angry- how dare they disrespect a legend like The Beatles by comparing them to someone like Taylor Swift. I like both but The Beatles are one of my favourite artists whereas Taylor Swift is more of a guilty pleasure for me- but at the time I read this she wasn't even that. When I first read that review, it was before Lover but after reputation, which probably partly explains...

Victoria Justice - Best Friend's Brother (Lyrics)

posted by NickelodeonLove

I call you up when I know he's at home
I jump out of my skin when he picks up the phone
Why can't I tell if he's looking at me?
Should I give him a smile?
Should I get up and leave?

I know it's strange
I don't know what I'm thinking
But is it wrong
If I see him this weekend?

I really hope I can get him alone
I just don't, don't want her to know

[Chorus:]
Yeah
My best friend's brother
Is the one for me
Yeah
A punk rock drummer
And he's 6 foot 3
I don't want to
But I want to
'Cause I just can't get him out of my mind!
Yeah
My best friend's brother
Is the one for me

My best friend's brother [2x]

Journey - Don't Stop Believin' (Lyrics)

posted by NickelodeonLove

Just a small town girl
Livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train
Goin' anywhere
Just a city boy
Born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train
Goin' anywhere

A singer in a smokey room
The smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on

Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching
In the night
Streetlight people
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin' somewhere in the night

Workin' hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice
Just one more time
Some will win
Some will lose
Some were born to...

Ed Sheeran - Photograph (Lyrics)

posted by NickelodeonLove

Loving can hurt
Loving can hurt sometimes
But it's the only thing that I know
When it gets hard
You know it can get hard sometimes
It is the only thing that makes us feel alive

We keep this love in a photograph
We made these memories for ourselves
Where our eyes are never closing
Hearts are never broken
Times forever frozen still

So you can keep me
Inside the pocket
Of your ripped jeans
Holdin' me closer
'Til our eyes meet
You won't ever be alone
Wait for me to come home

Loving can heal
Loving can mend your soul
And it's the only thing that I know (know)
I swear it will get easier
Remember that with every piece...

ABBA -S.O.S. (Lyrics)

posted by NickelodeonLove

Where are those happy days, they seem so hard to find
I tried to reach for you, but you have closed your mind
Whatever happened to our love?
I wish I understood
It used to be so nice, it used to be so good

So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me
S. O. S.
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me
S. O. S.
When you're gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you're gone
Though I try how can I carry on?

You seem so far away though you are standing near
You made me feel alive, but something died I fear
I really tried to make it out
I wish I understood
What happened to our love, it used to be so good...

Big Time Rush - Confetti Falling (Lyrics)

posted by NickelodeonLove

Uooh Oohh celebration

All this talk about being in love
I could never get into the party
Never really understood what it was
Like what's the big deal anyway?

Oh, but I decided I should give it a try
The very moment that you gave me the invite
I've never seen anything like it before
Once you open the door
See I was like...

Oh yeah yeah don't get any better
Oh yeah yeah wish that this was forever
Your heart calling
Feels like confetti falling
And it's a celebration,
Feels like a celebration
Cause your heart calling
Feels like confetti falling down, down, down.

And everybody's gonna make an appearance
Even the butterflies...

Do Ya Think I'm Sexy? lyrics

Do Ya Think I'm Sexy lyrics
By Rod Stewart

Sugar, sugar

She sits alone waiting for suggestions
He's so nervous avoiding all the questions
His lips are dry, her heart is gently pounding
Don't you just know exactly what they're thinking?

If you want my money and you think I'm sexy
Come on sugar, let me know
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
Come on honey tell me so
(Tell me so babe)

He's acting shy looking for an answer
Come on honey, let's spend the night together
Now hold on a minute before we go much further
Give me a dime so I can phone my mother
They catch a cab to his high rise apartment...

posted by Fangirl99

I saw him dancin' there by the record machine
I knew he must a been about seventeen
Big and so strong
Playin' my favorite song
An' I could tell it wouldn't be long
Till he was with me, yeah me +2, singin'

I love rock n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n' roll
So come an' take your time an' dance with me
OW..
He smiled so I got up and' asked for his name
That don't matter, he said,
'Cause it's all the same

Said can I take you home where we can be alone

An' next we were movin' on
He was with me, yeah me

Next we were movin' on
He was with me, yeah me, singin'

I love rock n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n' roll
So come an' take your time an' dance with me

Said can I take you home where we can be alone

An we'll be movin' on
An' singin' that same old song
Yeah with me, singin'

I love rock n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n' roll
So come an' take your time an' dance with me

You Belong with Me-Taylor Swift Lyrics

posted by Mallory101

You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset
She's going off about something that you said
'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do

I'm in the room, it's a typical Tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like
And she'll never know your story like I do

But she wears short skirts, I wear T-shirts
She's Cheer Captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time

If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
You, you belong with me, you belong...

Thriller-Michael Jackson Lyrics

posted by Mallory101

It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the dark
Under the moonlight, you see a sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it
You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes
You're paralyzed

'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
And no one's gonna save you from the beast about strike
You know it's thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight

You hear the door slam and realize there's nowhere left to run
You feel the cold hand and wonder if you'll ever see the sun
You close your...

Big Time Rush - If I Ruled The World (feat. IYAZ) (Lyrics)

posted by NickelodeonLove

Ya know it's your boy I-Y-A-Z and big time rush! (woo! [echo])

If I ruled the world, I'd throw all the money
In the air like confetti
If I ruled the world, every house got a DJ and a backyard party.
And I'd break all the borders down, when I shake the ground

If I ruled the world
I'd dream out loud

So everybody get up, up
Out of your seats
Kick off your shoes, like you're down at the beach
Jump up, up, up
On the beat singing "Aye oh! ", "Aye oh! ", "Aye oh! "
Up, up, out of your seats
Be who you are love is all you need
All of us Geeks, freaks and wannabes singing "Aye oh! "

If I ruled the world, I would give...

Smiles Lie (Don't let my smile fool you) - (Lyrics to one of my band's songs)

posted by cute20k

Hey! I'm a singer/songwriter. My friends and I started our band a while back, so I thought I would post some of the lyrics from our songs.

I'm swimming through the shadows
Try to escape from my fears
It's okay, I'm fine
Ignore the tears

And don't let my smile fool you
Cuz im just too sad to cry and
On the inside I am dyin'

I'm dashing down the never ending hall
They might as well paint my fears on the wall
Whose gonna catch me when I fall
When I trip
Over the darkness

And don't let my smile fool you
Cuz im just too sad to cry and
On the inside I am dyin'

Its like Im dying in my sleep
Im slowly murdered by my...

Song Lyrics to:Ice Ice baby
Artist:Vanilla Ice

Yo VIP let's kick it

Ice ice baby (x2)
All right stop collaborate and listen
Ice is back with my brand new invention
Something grabs a hold of me tightly
Flow like a harpoon daily and nightly
Will it ever stop yo I don't know
Turn off the lights and I'll glow
To the extreme I rock a mic like a vandal
Light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle
Dance go rush to the speaker that booms
I'm killing your brain like a poisonous mushroom
Deadly when I play a dope melody
Anything less than the best is a felony
Love it or leave it you better gain weight...

Utada Hikaru-Exodus '04 lyrics

posted by khfan12

Utada Hikaru

With you these streets are heaven
Now home feels so foreign
They told me I was mistaken; infatuated
And I was afraid to trust my hunches
Now I am ready

Daddy don't be mad that I'm leaving
Please let me worry about me
Mama don't you worry about me
This is my story

Through mountains high and valleys low
The ocean through the desert snow
We'll say goodbye to the friend we know
This is our exodus '04

Through traffic jams in Tokyo
New music on the radio
We'll say goodbye to the world we know
This is our exodus '04

Landscapes keep changing
His story teaches something
I know I could be mistaken but my heart has spoken...

Linda Ronstadt & James Ingram – Somewhere Out There (Lyrics)

posted by NickelodeonLove

Somewhere out there, beneath the pale moon light
Someone's thinking of me, and loving me tonight

Somewhere out there, someone's saying a prayer
That we'll find one another, in that big somewhere out there

And even though I know how very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishing, on the same bright star

And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we're sleeping, underneath the same big sky

Somewhere out there, if love can see us through
Then we'll be together, somewhere out there
Out where dreams come true

And even though I know how very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star

And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we're sleeping, underneath the same big sky

Somewhere out there, if love can see us through
Then we'll be together, somewhere out there
Out where dreams come true

Parov Stelar - Booty Swing (Lyrics)

posted by NickelodeonLove

Now, Arab sheikhs on the burning sands,
Come into their harems and clap their hands,
Said, "Come on, girls, are you ready to play?
Let's have a little more of that swingin' today."
Now, in the land of Fu Manchu,
The girls all now do the Suzie-Q,
Clap their hands in the center of the floor,
Saying, "Ching, ching, chop-suey, swing some more!"

Now, geisha girls in old Japan,
Wink behind their peacock fans,
Since they learned to say, "Yeah!
Let's swing it like Amelican's swing swing dance!"

Now, Gypsy caravans have changed their mode,
They truck down the Romany road,
With their hi-de-hos, and their hey-hey-diddle,...
