Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover (in honour of 90210 day)

What a beautiful song - where are songs like this today?

http://www.youtube.com/wa...mp;ob=av2n (and how the hell do I embed a YouTube link with this new formatting lol)

That old dog has chained you up all right
Give you everything you need
To live inside a twisted cage
Sleep beside in empty rage
I had a dream I was your hero

Damn I wish I was your lover
I'd rock you till the daylight comes
Make sure you are smiling and warm
I am everything
Tonight I'll be your mother
I'll do such things to ease your pain
Free your mind and you won't feel ashamed
Open up gonna come inside
Gonna fill you up
Make you cry

This bloke can't stand to see you black and blue
I give you something sweet each time you
Come inside my jungle book
It's just too good
Don't say you'll stay
'Cause then you go away

Damn I wish I was your lover
I'll rock you till the daylight comes
Make sure you are smiling and warm
I am everything
Tonight I'll be your mother
I'll do such things to ease your pain
Free your mind and you won't feel ashamed
Shucks
For me there is no other
You're the only shoe that fits
I can't imagine I'll grow out of it
Damn I wish I was your lover

If I was your girl believe me
I'd turn on the Rolling Stones
We could groove along and feel much better
Let me in
I could do it forever and ever, ever n' ever
Give me an hour to kiss you
Walk through heaven's door I'm sure
We don't need no doctor to feel much better
Let me in
Forever and ever and ever and ever

I sat on the mountainside with peace of mind
I lay by the ocean making love to her with visions clear
Walked for days with no one near
And I return as chained and bound to you

Damn I wish I was your lover
I'll rock you till the daylight comes
Make sure you are smiling and warm
I have everything
Tonight I'll be your mother
I'll do such things to ease your pain
Free your mind and you won't feel ashamed
Shucks for me there is no other
You're the only shoe that fits
I can't imagine I'll grow out of it
Damn I wish I was your lover
Open up gonna come inside
Gonna fill you up
Make you cry

I swear I'm going to write a permanent tutorial on this. haha

Go into edit your post.

Click your cursor somewhere in the URL you posted. Anywhere is fine. Now click the "broken chain" button (to the left of the A . It removes the text from being a link. It should now not be blue or underlined as if it were a link. It should just be text.

Now, do the usual [youtube] [/youtube] with the URL in between.

A shorter way is to type the above youtube code, and just add part of the URL. The part after "watch?v=", that being the next 11 characters are all you need. Type [youtube] Lt6r-k9Bk6o [/youtube] (without the two spaces) and it'll embed. The 11 characters are the ID of the video, and that's all the code needs to embed the video. Any of that other stuff after is useless. The characters could be letters, numbers, a hypen - and they're usually a combination of all 3, as you can see here. Yours has a hyphen in it. That's just part of the video ID.

I had to search for how to do this a few months ago and your previous tutorial sure helped me out. I do not know if I ever thanked you, so thanks.

Oh yeah, I never really liked Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover but I do find myself singing it once in a while. So I guess it is a catchy song if it pops in my head every so often.

^^^ I think Prince should have covered this song and put it on Emancipation.

Actually it isn't THAT complicated, some people copy and paste the link and for some it ends up being a link, don't know how y'all do that because that's never happened to me. lol

Anyway, I dig this song. An early '90s classic.

The song was somewhat popularized by Beverley Hills 90210 - I created this thread on 09-02-2010 smile

You don't think "Losing My Religion" would've been a better choice? They wore that song out on 90210!
