Video hit The Undisputed Truth

The Undisputed Truth - Smiling Faces Sometimes

Smiling Faces Sometimes is a soul song written by Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong for the Motown label. The song was originally recorded by the Temptations in 1971.

Producer Norman Whitfield had the song re-recorded by the Undisputed Truth the same year, resulting in a number-three Billboard Hot 100 position for the group.

"Smiling Faces" was the only Top 40 single released by the Undisputed Truth, and was included on their debut album The Undisputed Truth.

Both versions of "Smiling Faces Sometimes" deal with the same subject matter, "back-stabbing" friends who do their friends wrong behind their backs ("Smiling faces sometimes...they don't tell the truth...smiling faces sometimes tell lies"), but in different ways. The Temptations' original uses an arrangement similar to a haunted house film score to represent feelings of fear and timidness. Included on the 1971 Sky's the Limit album, "Smiling Faces Sometimes" runs over 12 minutes, most of which is extended instrumental passages without any vocals.

An edited version was planned as the Temptations' summer 1971 single release, but this plan was dropped when lead vocalist Eddie Kendricks, frustrated by personnel problems within the group, quit the Temptations and signed a solo deal with Motown in March 1971.

Whitfield was known for recording dramatically different versions of the same song with different Motown artists, including Smokey Robinson & the Miracles' "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" (re-recorded as hit records for Gladys Knight & the Pips, and Marvin Gaye) and the Temptations' "War" (re-recorded as a hit for Edwin Starr). After Kendricks left The Temptations, an undaunted Whitfield re-recorded the song with his latest protégés, psychedelic trio Undisputed Truth. It has since been covered by Bobbi Humphrey, Joan Osborne, Rare Earth, and others.

Future Undisputed Truth singles would never make it higher than #63, a position attained by both 1972's "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone" and 1974's "Help Yourself". Ironically, "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone" was re-recorded by The Temptations shortly after its release, and the re-recorded version became not only a #1 pop hit, but a three-time Grammy Award winner as well.

The O'Jays' similarly themed 1972 hit "Back Stabbers" quotes the lyrics "smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes..." in the refrain near the end of the song.

Whitfield later revisited the song for the 1973 album Ma, recorded by Motown's white rock band, Rare Earth, which he produced and wrote.

In 2013, "Smiling Faces Sometimes" was featured in the video game Grand Theft Auto V.

The lyrics:

Smiling faces sometimes pretend to be your friend

Smiling faces show no traces of the evil that lurks within

Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes

They don't tell the truth uh

Smiling faces, smiling faces

Tell lies and I got proof

The truth is in the eyes

Cause the eyes don't lie, amen

Remember a smile is just

A frown turned upside down

My friend let me tell you

Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes

They don't tell the truth, uh

Smiling faces, smiling faces

Tell lies and I got proof

Beware, beware of the handshake

That hides the snake

I'm telling you beware

Beware of the pat on the back

It just might hold you back

Jealousy (jealousy)

Misery (misery)

Envy

I tell you, you can't see behind smiling faces

Smiling faces sometimes they don't tell the truth

Smiling faces, smiling faces

Tell lies and I got proof

Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes

They don't tell the truth

Smiling faces, smiling faces

Tell lies and I got proof

(Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes)

(Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes)

I'm telling you beware, beware of the handshake

That hides the snake

Listen to me now, beware

Beware of that pat on the back

It just might hold you back

Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes

They don't tell the truth

Smiling faces, smiling faces

Tell lies and I got proof

Your enemy won't do you no harm

Cause you'll know where he's coming from

Don't let the handshake and the smile fool ya

Take my advice I'm only try' to school ya

Video hit Alanis Morissette

Alanis Morissette - You Oughta Know (Live at Montreux, 2012)

You Oughta Know is a song originally performed by Canadian American recording artist and songwriter Alanis Morissette, for her third studio album, Jagged Little Pill.

The song was written by Morissette along with Glen Ballard, who also produced it.

It was her first song in her change from bubblegum pop to the alternative rock sound she was later known for.

"You Oughta Know" was highlighted as an album track, and it received generally positive reviews from critics. It reached the top 10 in Australia and the United States, where it was a multiformat hit in several different genre charts, and made the top 20 in Canada and the top 40 in Sweden, New Zealand, Belgium, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom.

The song subsequently won two Grammy Awards: Best Rock Song and Best Female Rock Vocal Performance.

It was also nominated for a Grammy Award for Song of the Year.

Flea and Dave Navarro of the Red Hot Chili Peppers played bass and guitar on the track, respectively.

In an August 2008 interview with the Calgary Sun, actor-comedian Dave Coulier admitted to being the ex-boyfriend portrayed in the song.

In 1997 the Boston Herald reported that Coulier "admitted the lines are very close to home. Especially the one about 'an older version of me' and bugging him [Coulier] 'in the middle of dinner.'"

However, in October 2008, Morissette reiterated her refusal to identify the subject, commenting to a CanWest News Service journalist,

"Well, I've never talked about who my songs were about and I won't, because when I write them they're written for the sake of personal expression. So with all due respect to whoever may see themselves in my songs, and it happens all the time, I never really comment on it because I write these songs for myself, not other people."

Other celebrities have been rumored to be the lover in the song, including: Mike Peluso, hockey player for the New Jersey Devils; Matt LeBlanc, the actor who appeared in the video for Morissette's single "Walk Away" in 1991; and Leslie Howe, a musician and the producer of Morissette's first two albums in the early 1990s.

The lyrics:

I want you to know, that I am happy for you

I wish nothing but the best for you both

An older version of me

Is she perverted like me?

Would she go down on you in a theater?

Does she speak eloquently

And would she have your baby?

I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother

'Cause the love that you gave that we made

Wasn't able to make it enough for you

To be open wide, no

And every time you speak her name

Does she know how you told me

You'd hold me until you died

'Til you died, but you're still alive

And I'm here, to remind you

Of the mess you left when you went away

It's not fair, to deny me

Of the cross I bear that you gave to me

You, you, you oughta know

You seem very well, things look peaceful

I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know

Did you forget about me, Mr. Duplicity?

I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner

It was a slap in the face

How quickly I was replaced

And are you thinking of me when you fuck her?

'Cause the love that you gave that we made

Wasn't able to make it enough for you

To be open wide, no

And every time you speak her name

Does she know how you told me

You'd hold me until you died

'Til you died, but you're still alive

And I'm here, to remind you

Of the mess you left when you went away

It's not fair, to deny me

Of the cross I bear that you gave to me

You, you, you oughta know

'Cause the joke that you laid in the bed

That was me and I'm not gonna fade

As soon as you close your eyes, and you know it

And every time I scratch my nails

Down someone else's back I hope you feel it

Well, can you feel it?

And I'm here, to remind you

Of the mess you left when you went away

It's not fair, to deny me

Of the cross I bear that you gave to me

You, you, you oughta know

Video hit Lily Allen

Lily Allen - Friend of Mine (live, México City)

Lily Rose Beatrice Cooper (born 2 May 1985), known professionally as Lily Allen, is an English recording artist and actress. She is the daughter of Keith Allen and film producer Alison Owen.

Allen left school when she was 15 and concentrated on improving her performing and compositional skills.

In 2005, she made some of her recordings public on Myspace and the publicity resulted in airplay on BBC Radio 1 and a contract with Regal Recordings.

Her first mainstream single, "Smile", reached number one on the UK Singles Chart in July 2006.

Her debut record, Alright, Still, was well received, selling over 2.6 million copies worldwide and brought Allen a nomination at the Grammy Awards, BRIT Awards and MTV Video Music Awards. She began hosting her own talk-show, Lily Allen and Friends, on BBC Three.

Her second studio album, It's Not Me, It's You, saw a genre shift, having more of an electropop feel, rather than the ska and reggae influences of the first one. The album debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart and the Australian ARIA Charts and was well received by critics, noting the singer's musical evolution and maturity. It spawned the hit singles "The Fear" and "Fuck You", popular mostly in Europe. Allen and Amy Winehouse have been credited with starting a process that led to the media-proclaimed "year of the women" in 2009 that has seen five female artists making music of "experimentalism and fearlessness" nominated for the Mercury Prize.

In 2009, Allen announced that she would be taking a hiatus from musical activities. During 2010, Allen opened a fashion rental shop "Lucy in Disguise" with her sister Sarah, followed by the 2011 launching of her own record label.

In 2013, Allen revealed that she had begun working on her third studio album, which was later titled Sheezus.

On 12 November 2013, Allen premiered the video for her first original song since 2009, "Hard out Here", which was released as a single on November 17.

Personal life

Allen is a keen football fan, supporting Fulham F.C.

She is also a cricket fan and has appeared on Test Match Special.

Allen began dating musician Ed Simons of the Chemical Brothers in September 2007, and in December, Allen announced that she and Simons were expecting a child. Allen suffered a miscarriage in January 2008.

Following five months of dating, Allen's relationship with Simons ended soon after her miscarriage. Allen has stated that she spent three weeks in a psychiatric clinic due to depression following the miscarriage.

In July 2009, Allen began dating Sam Cooper, a builder and decorator.

On 5 August 2010, Allen announced that she was pregnant with her and Cooper's first child, later confirmed to be a boy due early in 2011.

She experienced complications early in the pregnancy, including "about a week and a half of really heavy bleeding."

In late October, six months into her pregnancy, Allen contracted a viral infection which caused her to suffer a stillbirth, announced on 1 November.

On 6 November, Allen was admitted to the hospital, where she responded well to treatment for septicaemia.

Allen and Cooper became engaged over the Christmas holidays in December 2010 while on holiday in Bali. They wed on 11 June 2011 at St. James church in Cranham, Gloucestershire, England.

The designer of Allen's wedding dress confirmed she was several months pregnant on the wedding day.

Allen gave birth to a daughter, Ethel Mary, on 25 November 2011.

She gave birth to her second child, daughter Marnie Rose, on 8 January 2013.

Controversies

Due to her outspokenness, Allen was the subject of many controversies early in her career. Disparaging remarks about musicians Luke Pritchard of The Kooks, Bob Geldof, Amy Winehouse, Kylie Minogue and Katy Perry have all garnered minor press attention. She later said that making fun of other pop stars was a result of a lack of confidence, saying "I felt like 'Oh God, I'm short, fat, ugly and I hate all these people who flaunt their beauty.'"

On 28 June 2007, Allen was arrested in London for allegedly assaulting photographer Kevin Rush while she was leaving a nightclub in London's West End. Prior to this, she had expressed discomfort with attention from the paparazzi on her MySpace blog.

By February 2009 she had stopped addressing controversies about herself on her blog because she found it "boring when people just pick stuff up and write about it. People get hurt, people get upset."

In September 2009, she shut down her MySpace account and stopped social networking completely in December due to the abuse she was taking.

In May 2009, French football magazine So Foot published a fake interview in which Allen was quoted as making derogatory remarks about David and Victoria Beckham and Ashley and Cheryl Cole. Some of the material was reprinted in the British tabloid The Sun. Both publications later apologized and paid damages to Allen.

In August 2012 Allen was accused of racism after writing "I hate it when black cab drivers spend the entire journey on the phone. I WANTED A CHAT !". Allen responded that in Britain and Europe taxicabs are called "black cabs" because they are painted black.

Her November 2013 video for "Hard Out Here" was accused of being racist for its use of mostly black dancers in an allegedly "disapproving" manner. Allen responded that ethnicity was not a factor in hiring the dancers, and the video was a lighthearted satirical look at objectification of women in modern pop music.

The lyrics:

I don't want us to have a fight

But in the background

I can hear you chatting shite

I hear it every night

And you think you're being really cool

And you've been doing it

Since we were both at school

Now who looks like a fool

You're no friend of mine, girl

And I've known it for a while, girl

You're just a waste of time, girl

Why don't you have another line, girl?

Tell me what did you expect

Have you got no self respect?

Reputation to protect?

Soon you'll be a nervous wreck

Tell me what did you expect

Have you got no self respect?

Reputation to protect?

Soon you'll be a nervous wreck

What happened to the good old days?

I was kinda hoping this was all a stupid phase

Who are you anyway?

I know you've heard this all before

I know some people who are calling you a whore

Don't know you anymore

You're no friend of mine, girl

And I've known it for a while, girl

You're just a waste of time, girl

Why don't you have another line, girl?

Tell me what did you expect

Have you got no self respect?

Reputation to protect?

Soon you'll be a nervous wreck

Tell me what did you expect

Have you got no self respect?

Reputation to protect?

Soon you'll be a nervous wreck

Tell me what did you expect

Have you got no self respect?

Reputation to protect?

Soon you'll be a nervous wreck

Tell me what did you expect

Have you got no self respect?

Reputation to protect?

Soon you'll be a nervous wreck

Video hit Bruce Springsteen

Bruce Springsteen - Backstreets (live, 2012)

"Backstreets" is a song by Bruce Springsteen from the album Born to Run, which was released in 1975. In the original vinyl release, it concludes side one of the record.

"Backstreets" has been interpreted as a narrative about a homosexual relationship, since the name Terry is sexually ambiguous.

It has also been said to potentially represent a platonic but intense friendship between two men that has faded.

However, listening to any of the numerous bootleg versions of "Backstreets" from the 1978 "Darkness on the Edge of Town" tour, Terry is repeatedly referred to as "she" and "little girl," confirming that Terry is indeed a woman.

Another interpretation is that it is about Springsteen's relationship with his early 70s girlfriend Diane Lozito.

The melody and organ bear some resemblance to "Positively 4th Street" by Bob Dylan, an influence of Springsteen's. Rolling Stone Magazine claims that it echoes mid-60s Dylan, especially the organ part reminiscent of Blonde on Blonde.

Rolling Stone Magazine rated "Backstreets" to be the 7th greatest Springsteen song of all time.

The lyrics:

One soft infested summer me and Terry became friends

Trying in vain to breathe the fire we was born in

Catching rides to the outskirts tying faith between our teeth

Sleeping in that old abandoned beach house getting wasted in the heat

And hiding on the backstreets, hiding on the backstreets

With a love so hard and filled with defeat

Running for our lives at night on them backstreets

Slow dancing in the dark on the beach at Stockton's Wing

Where desperate lovers park we sat with the last of the Duke Street Kings

Huddled in our cars waiting for the bells that ring

In the deep heart of the night we cut loose from everything

to go running on the backstreets, running on the backstreets

Terry, we swore we'd live forever, takin' on them backstreets together.

Endless juke joints and Valentino drag where dancers scraped the tears up off the streets dressed down in rags

Running into the darkness, some hurt bad, some really dying

At night sometimes it seemed you could hear the whole damn city crying

Blame it on the lies that killed us

Blame it on the truth that ran us down

You can blame it all on me Terry

It don't matter to me now

When the breakdown hit at midnight

There was nothing left to say but I hated him and I hated you when you went away

Laying here in the dark you're like an angel on my chest

Just another tramp of hearts crying tears of faithlessness

Remember all the movies, Terry, we'd go see

Trying to learn how to walk like heroes we thought we had to be

And after all this time to find we're just like all the rest

Stranded in the park and forced to confess

To hiding on the backstreets, hiding on the backstreets

We swore forever friends on the backstreets until the end.

Hiding on the backstreets, hiding on the backstreets

Video hit Loreena McKennitt

Loreena McKennitt - All Souls Night (Live Concert, Nights from the Alhambra, Spain)

"All Souls Night" derives from McKennitt's merging of the traditions, mythology, and culture of Japan with old Celtic Samhain rituals.

The "bonfires" and "figures dancing" are European, the "candles and lanterns" are from Japanese traditions.

Loreena Isabel Irene McKennitt, CM, OM (born February 17, 1957) is a Canadian musician, composer, harpist, accordionist and pianist who writes, records and performs world music with Celtic and Middle Eastern themes. McKennitt is known for her refined and clear dramatic soprano vocals.

She has sold more than 14 million records worldwide.

Personal life

In 1998, McKennitt's fiancé Ronald Rees, his brother Richard and their close friend Gregory Cook drowned in a boating accident on Georgian Bay. She was deeply affected by the event and subsequently founded the Cook-Rees Memorial Fund for Water Search and Safety in the same year.

At the time of the incident, she was working on a live album of two performances called Live in Paris and Toronto. The proceeds from this album were donated to the newly created memorial fund, totaling some three million dollars.

After the release of the live album, McKennitt decided to substantially reduce the number of her public performances and did not release any new recordings until the studio album An Ancient Muse in 2006.

The lyrics:

Bonfires dot the rolling hills

Figures dance around and around

To drums that pulse out echoes of darkness

Moving to the pagan sound.

Somewhere in a hidden memory

Images float before my eyes

Of fragrant nights of straw and of bonfires

And dancing till the next sunrise.

[Chorus:]

I can see lights in the distance

Trembling in the dark cloak of night

Candles and lanterns are dancing, dancing

A waltz on All Souls Night.

Figures of cornstalks bend in the shadows

Held up tall as the flames leap high

The green knight holds the holly bush

To mark where the old year passes by.

[Chorus]

Bonfires dot the rolling hillsides

Figures dance around and around

To drums that pulse out echoes of darkness

And moving to the pagan sound.

Standing on the bridge that crosses

The river that goes out to the sea

The wind is full of a thousand voices

They pass by the bridge and me

Video hit Enya

Enya - Amarantine

"Amarantine" is a single by Irish musician Enya, taken from the album of the same name. The word is taken from ancient Greek and means everlasting or immortal (the same as the amaranth flower).

The single was released in certain regions on 14 November 2005. Other regions received the single on or after 6 December 2005.

Several versions of "Amarantine" were released, some containing all three tracks, and some omitting the "Spaghetti Western" track. In some areas, Reprise released both a "Part I" single containing "Amarantine" and "The Comb of the Winds" and a "Part II" single that contained all three tracks.

The "Spaghetti Western Theme" is an atypical Enya recording arranged in the style of Hugo Montenegro's work on films such as A Fistful of Dollars and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. A previously unreleased recording from The Celts soundtrack from 1986, Enya released it in memory of BBC producer Tony McAuley.

The lyrics:

You know when you gave your love away

It opens your heart, everything is new

And you know time will always find a way

To let your heart believe it's true

You know love is everything you say

A whisper, a word, promises you give

You feel it in the heartbeat of the day

You know this is the way love is

[Chorus]

Amarantine

Amarantine

Amarantine

Love is always love

You know love may sometimes make you cry

So let the tears go, they will flow away

For you know love will always let you fly

How far a heart can fly away

[Chorus]

You know when love's shining in your eyes

It may be the stars fallen from above

And you know love is with you when you rise

For night and day belong to love

Video hit ABBA

Abba - Chiquitita

"Chiquitita" (a Spanish term of endearment for a woman meaning "little one") is a song recorded by Swedish pop group ABBA.

It was released in January 1979 as the first single from the group's Voulez-Vous album.

Originally, the track "If It Wasn't for the Nights" was going to be the album's lead single, but after "Chiquitita" was completed those plans were abandoned, and it would remain an album track.

History

Many preliminary versions of "Chiquitita" exist. It had working titles of "Kålsupare", "3 Wise Guys", "Chiquitita Angelina" and "In The Arms of Rosalita".

A revised version, which had a sound that was influenced by the Peruvian song "El Condor Pasa (If I Could)" performed by Simon and Garfunkel, was recorded in December 1978 and released as a single in January 1979.

With the success of the English version, ABBA also recorded "Chiquitita" in Spanish by phonetics, and it was one of the featured tracks on the Spanish-language release Gracias Por La Música.

Reception

"Chiquitita" proved to be one of ABBA's biggest hits.

It was featured in a 1979 UNICEF charity event, the Music for UNICEF Concert, broadcast worldwide from the United Nations General Assembly.

As a direct result of this event, ABBA donated half of all royalties from the song to UNICEF.

To this day, 50% of the proceeds from the song go to UNICEF in recognition of the "International Year of the Child" in 1979.

In Great Britain, "Chiquitita" debuted at #8 in the singles chart, making it the highest place début for any ABBA single release.

Music video

"Chiquitita" was one of the very few singles ABBA released without a custom-made video. Since then, on compilations of the group's videos, a contemporary TV performance of the song has been used.

This clip was taped by the BBC for the show ABBA in Switzerland, broadcast across Europe at Easter 1979.

ABBA is seen performing the song on a mountainside, with a snowman in the background. Throughout the clip, there was an obvious problem with the fan during filming, which affected Anni-Frid "Frida" Lyngstad; her hair constantly flew in her face, and she was forced to keep moving it out of her eyes.

The lyrics:

Chiquitita, tell me what's wrong?

You're enchained by your own sorrow

In your eyes there is no hope for tomorrow

How I hate to see you like this

There is no way you can deny it

I can see that you're oh so sad, so quiet

Chiquitita, tell me the truth

I'm a shoulder you can cry on

Your best friend, I'm the one you must rely on

You were always sure of yourself

Now I see you've broken a feather

I hope we can patch it up together

Chiquitita, you and I know

How the heartaches come and they go

And the scars they're leaving

You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end

You will have no time for grieving

Chiquitita, you and I cry

And the sun is still in the sky and shining above you

Let me hear you sing once more like you did before

Sing a new song, Chiquitita

Try once more like you did before

Sing a new song, Chiquitita

So the walls came tumbling down

And your love's a blown out candle

All is gone and it seems too hard to handle

Chiquitita, tell me the truth

There is no way you can deny it

I see that you're oh so sad, so quiet

Chiquitita, you and I know

How the heartaches come and they go

And the scars they're leaving

You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end

You will have no time for grieving

Chiquitita, you and I cry

And the sun is still in the sky and shining above you

Let me hear you sing once more like you did before

Sing a new song, Chiquitita

Try once more like you did before

Sing a new song, Chiquitita

Try once more like you did before

Sing a new song, Chiquitita 

Video hit Tina Turner

Tina Turner - Private Dancer (live)

"Private Dancer" is a hit song recorded by Tina Turner, and written by Mark Knopfler.

It is the title track of Tina Turner's most successful album, Private Dancer.

The music video for the song features Tina Turner as a disillusioned ballroom dancer, although the song could also be interpreted as being sung from the perspective of a lap dancer.

The track reached number seven on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number three on the US R&B chart.

The song had moderate international success, reaching number twenty-six on the UK Singles Chart.

The song was originally going to be included on the Dire Straits album Love over Gold.

After the song was recorded, however, the vocals were not added.

Mark Knopfler considered that they were not suitable for a male to sing, so the track was cut from the final mix.

Legal restrictions prevented the original recording from being used, so two years after it was recorded, the track was remade by Dire Straits for Tina Turner.

The original drummer Pick Withers had been replaced by Terry Williams. Also, Knopfler did not feature on the track and was replaced by Jeff Beck.

The lyrics:

Well the men come in these places

And the men are all the same

You don't look at their faces

And you don't ask their names

You don't think of them as human

You don't think of them at all

You keep your mind on the money

Keeping your eyes on the wall

I'm your private dancer

A dancer for money

I'll do what you want me to do

I'm your private dancer

A dancer for money

And any old music will do

I wanna make a million dollars

I wanna live out by the sea

Have a husband and some children

Yeah, I guess I want a family

All the men come in these places

And the men are all the same

You don't look at their faces

And you don't ask their names

I'm your private dancer

A dancer for money

I'll do what you want me to do

I'm your private dancer

A dancer for money

And any old music will do

I'm your private dancer

A dancer for money

I'll do what you want me to do

Yes your private dancer

A dancer for money

And any old music will do

Dutchmarks or dollars

American Express will do nicely, thank you

Let me loosen up your collar

Tell me, do you wanna see me do the shimmy again?

I'm your private dancer

A dancer for money

I'll do what you want me to do

I'm your private dancer

A dancer for money

And any old music will do

I'm your private dancer

A dancer for money

I'll do what you want me to do

I'm your private dancer

A dancer for money

And any old music will do

I'm your private dancer, dancer for money

Just a private dancer, dancer for money

Video hit Sheryl Crow

Sheryl Crow - Can't Cry Anymore (live, 2010)

"Can't Cry Anymore" is a 1995 single by Sheryl Crow from the album Tuesday Night Music Club released on A&M Records.

The song reached #36 on Billboard's Hot 100, becoming Crow's third straight Top-40 hit.

It also became Crow's highest charting song in Spain.

The lyrics:

Took your car, drove to Texas

Sorry, honey but I suspected we were through

And I can't cry anymore

Since I left, feelin' better

'Cause that's what you get

When you stay together too long

And I can't cry anymore

Wouldn't it be good

If we could hop a flight to anywhere?

So long to this life

So much for pretending

'Cause bad luck's never-ending

And now I know that

Money comes in but the fact is

There's not enough to pay my taxes

And I can't cry anymore

Well, I got a brother, he's got real problems

Heroin, no, there's just no stopping him tonight

And I won't cry anymore

Wouldn't it be good

If we could hop a flight to anywhere?

So long to this life

So much for pretending

'Cause bad luck's never-ending

It's never-ending

Well, it could be worse, I could've missed my calling

Sometimes it hurts

But when you read the writing on the wall

Can't cry anymore

And wouldn't it be nice

If we could hop a flight to anywhere?

So long to this life

So much for pretending

'Cause bad luck's never-ending

And too much time I've been spending

With my heart in my hands waiting for time to come and mend it

I can't cry anymore

I can't cry anymore

Can't cry anymore

I can't cry anymore

I can't cry anymore

Video hit Foreigner

Foreigner - When It Comes To Love

Can't Slow Down is the ninth album by the rock group Foreigner.

It is the group's first studio release with lead singer Kelly Hansen and the group's first new studio album since 1994.

In the U.S. the album was first available exclusively through Wal-Mart retailers. As of May 28, 2010 it is available anywhere CDs are sold.

Marti Frederiksen and guitarist Mick Jones' stepson, Mark Ronson co-produced the album.

The first two singles from the album, "When It Comes to Love" and "In Pieces" both reached the Top 20 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart.

The lyrics:

I remember the day seems so far away

When I walked into your life

And the look in your eyes, how it took you by surprise

But it felt so right

Then I drew you in, told you anything

'Cause I wanted you so bad

Girl, I led you on, said, "There's nothing wrong

In giving your heart to me"

But when it comes to love, I should know better

When it comes to love I take the blame

'Cause you are the one I should've held on to

Yeah, it coulda been you

I never realized how time was on my side

Lost sight of my perfect world

And the man that I've become from the damage that I've done

It's so clear to me now

But I wished that I never was the kind

To steal a lonely heart

And I didn't see how good you were for me

Now it's too late to go back

'Cause when it comes to love, I should know better

When it comes to love, I take the blame

'Cause you are the one I should've held on to

When it comes to love, girl, I can't help it

When it comes to love, I always lose my way

And you are the one I should've held on to

Ah, it coulda been you

Making a change in my heart

Finding a new place to start

Wondering what I can do

Will I ever get over you? No

When it comes to love, I should know better

When it comes to love, I take the blame

'Cause you are the one I should've held on to

When it comes to love, girl, I can't help it

When it comes to love, I always lose my way

And you are the one I should've held on to

Ah, it could've been you
