You thought songs had too much pride/bragging

Every once in a while, I like to shift the focus of the song from singing to someone to being sung to.

Try it out. Here's a few from the radio at work today:

Adele-
"Never mind you'll find
Someone like meeee
You wish nothing but the best
whistle For meeee"

Lee Ann Womack-
"And when I get the chance to sit out or dance
You hope I'll dance!!!"

Prince-
"Every Friday night U call my butt up on the phone
A deeper voice answers and says I'm not at home
Now if I think that U're a fool who'll go 4 any line
Then Honey, I put down all my money, I win every time

Irresistible bitch
U love the way I walk
Irresistible bitch
U love the way I talk
Irresistible bitch
U really dig the way I kiss
Irresistible
Oh daddy U wish U could resist"

I'm going to get fried for this, but Unbreakable and Threatened. It's relevant to mj and his life and what he was singing about, and I get chills from the emotions so it's fine for him, but if I sing it and think about myself and getting through daily shit, I feel like a coc.ky motherfuc.ker and can't keep a straight face for too long. lol

Oh, say can I see,

By the dawn's early light,

What so proudly YOU hailed,

At the twilight's last gleaming

Whose broad stripes and bright stars,

Through the perilous fight

O'er ramparts YOU watched

Were so galantly streaming

And the rocket's red glare

The bombs bursting in air

Gave prove through the night

That YOUR flag was still there

Oh, say does that Star Spangled

Banner yet wave

O'er the land of the free

And the home of the BRAAAAAAAAAAAVEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

EDIT: I typed the national anthem from memory so forgive if there are slight errors! It's easier to sing this than it is to type it. I didn't want to cut and paste this just for the challenge smile

When I was here before
couldn't look me in the eye

I'm just like an angel

my skin makes you cry

I float like a feather

in a beautiful world

You wish you were special

I'm so fucking special...
