Can't Get Enough Lyrics

Can't Get Enough

This track from Becky G's Play It Again EP finds her collaborating with Pitbull. The teenage singer penned the tune with hitmaker Dr Luke (Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone," Taio Cruz's "Dynamite"), his frequent collaborator Cirkut and Pitbull's A&R right hand man, DJ Buddha.

The song was sent to Latin radio and received heavy rotation, becoming both Becky G and Dr Luke's first #1s on the Billboard Latin Rhythm Airplay chart.

Becky explained to Rolling Stone how the collaboration with Pitbull came about: "First, I was in the studio with Buddha, Cirkut and Luke and after I did the hook, Buddha was like, 'Oh my God, I got to send this to Pit,'" she recalled. "Pit sent it back with some verse ideas, and I was like, 'Oh my God, this is crazy!' He's Mr. Worldwide, he was literally in a different part of the world when we did it [laughs]."
"It was a rite of passage for me, having a song with Pit — Uncle Pit, as I would say — because he really is like having another uncle," she added. "He's just the sweetest, most humble, smartest man I've ever met. Of course I shouldn't say that because all my other uncles would be jealous [laughs]."

Becky G recorded both an English and Spanish version of the song.

Unwanted Lyrics

All that I did was walk over
Start off by shaking your hands
That's how it went
I had a smile on my face and I sat up straight
Oh, yeah, yeah
I wanted to know you
I wanted to show you

[Chorus]
You don't know me
Don't ignore me
You don't want me there
You just shut me out
You don't know me
Don't ignore me
If you had your way
You'd just shut me up
Make me go away

No, I just don't understand why
You won't talk to me
It's hurts that I'm so Unwanted for nothing
Don't talk words against me
I wanted to know you
I wanted to show you

[Chorus]

Make me go away

I tried to belong
It didn't seem wrong
My head aches
Its been so long
I'll write this song
If that's what it take

[Chorus: x2]

Make me go away
Make me go away

Unwanted

This song is about being used, and how a guy can think of a girl as a prize and his friends congratulate him. "I wanted to know ya, I wanted to show ya" refers to the attitude that sometimes girls think they have to have sex to prove that they care for someone, and then "I just don't understand why you wont talk to me" is about how high school boys can be terrible - you can be in the most intimate moment with them, and then the next day they don't recognize your existence. "Don't talk words against me" refers to rumors. It's harsh being called things like "slut," "ho," "whore," when all you wanted was to show him you wanted to be with him.

Believe In Life Lyrics

When the world has seen the light
At the beginning of the day,
You will let me call your name,
'Cause I love you more than light,
And it will always be this way
As long as I Believe In Life.

When the morning comes too soon
And I am still without your love,
You will let me call your name,
'Cause I love you more than light,
And it will always be this way
As long as I believe in life.

Whatever happened to the girls I used to know?
Whatever happened to the places that we'd go?
When we were running in and out of time,
But all the time we still believed in life.
We were running in and out of time,
But still believed in life.

And when the day is almost done
And there is nothing left to say,
You will let me call your name,
'Cause I love you more than light,
And it will always be this way
As long as I believe in life.

Running in and out of time,
But still believed in life.

And when the day is almost done
And there is nothing left to say,
You will let me call your name,
'Cause I love you more than light,
And it will always be this way
As long as I believe,
As long as you believe,
As long as I believe that you believe, then I'll believe, I'll believe in life.
As long as I believe that you believe, then I'll believe, I'll believe in life.

Believe in life.
I believe in life.
I believe in life.

Believe In Life

Clapton told Uncut magazine August 2014 that he believes this heartfelt declaration of love is the best tune that he's ever recorded. "That's my favorite song, and it's also current, because I wrote it about my wife," he said. "I like the fact that it's kind of low-key, a little in-the-background thing, but I'm proud of that song, as much as anything of mine that's more popular or well-known."

Eric Clapton married American-born graphic artist of Korean-Irish parentage Melia McEnery in January 2001. The couple met in 1998 after McEnery approached the guitar legend for an autograph at a party in LA thrown by Giorgio Armani (she was working for the fashion designer at the time).

Baby, I Love Your Way Lyrics

Shadows grow so long before my eyes
And they're moving across the page
Suddenly the day turns into night
Far away from the city but don't hesitate
'Cause your love won't wait hey
Ooh baby I love your way every day
want to tell you I love your way every day
want to be with you night and day

Moon appears to shine and light the sky
With the help of some fireflies
I wonder how they have the power shine shine shine
I can see them under the pines
But don't hesitate 'cause your love won't wait hey
Ooh baby I love your way every day
want to tell you I love your way every day
want to be with you night and day uh yeah

But don't hesitate 'cause your love won't wait
I can see the sunset in your eyes
Brown and grey and blue besides
Clouds are stalking islands in the sun
Wish I could dry one out of season
But don't hesitate 'cause your love won't wait hey
Ooh baby I love your way every day

Baby, I Love Your Way

This is a very romantic love ballad. Frampton is telling his girl that he loves everything about her and wants to be with her day and night. (thanks, Alec Thorp - Yorktown Heights, NY)

This went nowhere when Frampton first released it as a single in 1975. The next year, he included it on his live album, Frampton Comes Alive, and it helped the album become a huge hit. The live version was the second single released from the album, after "Show Me The Way" and before "Do You Feel Like We Do."

Lisa Bonet sings this in the 1999 movie Hi Fidelity. John Cusak's character hates the song until he hears her sing it.

In 1988, the group Will To Power had a US #1 hit with a medley of this and "Free Bird."

Big Mountain hit #6 in the US with this in 1994. Their version was on the soundtrack to Reality Bites.

Rusted Nail Lyrics

You want someone to blame
The one who drives the Rusted Nail
But who’s left will never care
Pretending becomes a chore
All you search for, a little piece of mind
Too far, too deep, the two faced smile
So lost, you feel, I know

Wide awake but still asleep
Always a stranger in a crowd
Wide awake, always a stranger in a crowd

Just this once
Listen to the words I say
If you want I will
I’m there until the end of time

Leave the doomed behind
Search with different light
You were trying to remember
But it’s all make believe

You are, you are, you are

Wide awake but still asleep (wide awake but still asleep)
Always a stranger in a crowd

Just this once
Listen to the words I say
If you want I will
I’m there until the end of time

Just this once
Listen to the words I say
If you want, I’m there

Just this once
Listen to the words I say
If you want I will
I’m there until the end of time

Rusted Nail

This is the lead single from Siren Charms. Lead singer Anders Fridén explained to Finland's Kaaos TV that the choice was made by the band's record company. "All the songs, for me, are great," he said. "And for the first time… 'Cause usually, I'm, like, 'OK, this is the single, this is the video, this is how everything should be and look and whatever.' And now, it was, 'I can't pick and choose. Record company, you decide.' And I guess they took 'Rusted Nail', because it shows where In Flames are today, and it's a nice description of the album. It has a little bit of that and a little bit of this. To me, you could pick any song; I like them all."

The music video was shot by Swedish director Patric Ullaeus of the Revolver Film Company AB, who has previously worked with Hammerfall, Europe and Lacuna Coil among others.

The House I Live In Lyrics

What is America to me
A name, a map, or a flag I see
A certain word, democracy
What is America to me

The House I Live In
A plot of Earth, a street
The grocer and the butcher
And the people that I meet

The children in the playground
The faces that I see
All races and religions
That's America to me

The place I work in
The worker by my side
The little town the city
Where my people lived and died

The howdy and the handshake
The air a feeling free
And the right to speak your mind out
That's America to me

The things I see about me
The big things and the small
The little corner newsstand
Or the house a mile tall

The wedding and the churchyard
The laughter and the tears
The dream that's been a growing
For a hundred and fifty years

The town I live in
The street, the house, the room
The pavement of the city
Or the garden all in bloom

The church the school the clubhouse
The million lights I see
But especially the people
That's America to me

The House I Live In

This became a patriotic anthem in America during World War II. The lyrics describe the wonderful things about the country, with images of the era like the grocer, the butcher, and the churchyard. The "house" is a metaphor for the country.

The song was written in 1943 with lyrics by Abel Meeropol and music by Earl Robinson. Meeropol, who wrote it under the pen name Lewis Allan, had very liberal views and mixed feelings about America. He loved the constitutional rights and freedoms that America was based on, but he hated the way people of other races, religions, and political views were often treated. His lyrics do not reflect the way he thought America was but what it had the potential to be. With the country under attack, he wanted to express why it was worth fighting for.

Meeropol was dogged by the government for his liberal (some would say communist) views. He took a particular interest in the case of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, who were accused of passing nuclear secrets to the Soviet Union and executed in 1953. Meeropol felt they were wrongly accused, and he and his wife adopted their two sons when they were put to death. The sons, Michael and Robert, took Meeropol's last name (it was easier to be a Meeropol than a Rosenberg at the time) and have spent their adult lives trying to clear their birth parents' names.

Meeropol wrote a lot of songs, including "Strange Fruit," which was about the horrors of lynchings and became Billie Holiday's signature song. Many songs he wrote were parodies of America, with commentary on racism and political oppression. He wrote several versions of this, including one for children and one that expanded the "house" to mean the whole world, not just America. He also wrote a scathing version about things he felt were bad in the US. The idyllic images were replaced with lines like "The cruelty and murder that brings our country shame."

Earl Robinson, who wrote the music, also had very liberal views. During the McCarthy era, he was hounded for being a communist and blacklisted from Hollywood, making it hard for him to find work. Before his death in 1991, he wrote presidential campaign songs for FDR (1944), Henry Wallace (1948), and Jesse Jackson (1984).

This has been recorded by a slew of artists, including Mahalia Jackson, Paul Robeson, Sonny Rollins, and Josh White. Sinatra's version is the most famous, as it was used in a short film he starred in with the same name in 1945. When Meeropol saw the film, he became enraged when he learned they deleted the second stanza of his song, which he felt was crucial to the meaning. He had to be removed from the theater. With its message of racial harmony, the second stanza was deemed too controversial for the film.

Sinatra loved this song and performed it many times, even as his political views moved from left to right as he got older. As an Italian-American, Sinatra experienced bigotry growing up, but he also loved the United States. He sang this at an inaugural he produced for John F. Kennedy, and again in the Nixon White House, and performed it for Ronald Reagan at the re-dedication of the Statue Of Liberty in 1986.

Charles Pignone, Vice President of Frank Sinatra Enterprises, also remembers watching him perform this in the '90s during the First Gulf War. "He would sing that every decade of his career," Pignone said in a Songfacts interview. "And that was another song that just stayed with him throughout his life." He added: "I remember sometimes he would tear up after 'The House I Live In."

This regained popularity among Americans in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks. A lot of people found it comforting at a difficult time.

In 2002, comedian Bill Cosby opened some of his shows with this playing while a light shined on an empty chair. The song had meaning for Cosby not only because of September 11, but also because of his son, who was murdered in 1997 at age 27 when he pulled over to fix a flat tire.

Sinatra appeared in a 10-minute short for RKO, also titled The House I Live In, where he lectured a group of boys on racial and religious tolerance. Written by Albert Maltz, produced by Frank Ross and directed by Mervyn LeRoy, the film won a special Honorary Academy Award in 1946.

Here's Sinatra's introduction to this song, live at Madison Square Garden in 1974: "It's a song about this great, big, wonderful, imperfect country. I say imperfect because if it were perfect it wouldn't be any fun trying to fix it, trying to make it work better, trying to make sure that everybody gets a fair shake and then some. My country is personal to me because my father, who wasn't born here, rest his soul, he made sure that I was born here. And he used to tell me when I was a kid that America was a land of dreams and a dreamland, well I don't know if our country fulfilled all of his dreams while he was alive, but tonight with all of us together for this hour, it sure fulfills my dreams. And to all of you in the country and all of you watching tonight, here's a song about a place we call home, probably the greatest nation ever put on this earth."

Right Here

This is Jess Glynne's first official solo single after hit collaborations with Clean Bandit and Route 94 and her own promo tune, "Home." The song was released as a digital download on June 6, 2014 in the UK.

Jess Glynne wrote the song with:

Stockport, Manchester singer-songwriter Janee “Jin Jin† Bennett whom Jess Glynne met at music college.

The English Electronic music duo Gorgon City who first came to the public's attention with their UK Top 5 hit "Ready For Your Love."

Glynne told The Idolator : "The song came about from my publisher who manages Gorgon City, and he put us together."

This song finds Glynne singing of a significant other. The singer revealed to The Independent that this track and the other songs on I Cry When I Laugh are about her relationship and break-up with a female romantic partner. "The songs on this album are about a girl," she explained. "I would never lie about a situation I've been in. I feel like with the album I'm putting my cards out on the table. I wouldn't want it to be misconstrued and the fact of the matter is those songs are about a girl. I was heartbroken about a girl, it wasn't a guy."

Five O'Clock World Lyrics

Up ev'ry morning just to keep a job
I gotta fight my way through the hustling mob,
Sounds of the city pounding in my brain
While another day goes down the drain.
But it's a Five O'Clock World when the whistle blows,
No one owns a piece of my time.
And there's a five o'clock me inside my clothes,
Thinking that the world looks fine. Yeah! Adalee!

Trading my time for the pay I get
Living on the money that I ain't made yet,
Gotta keep goin' gotta make my way
But I live for the end of the day.
'Cause it's a five o'clock world when the whistle blows,
No one owns a piece of my time.
And there's a long haired girl who waits, I know,
To ease my troubled mind. Yeah! Adalee!

In the shelter of her arms ev'rything's o.k.
She talks and the world goes slipping away,
And I know the reason I can still go on
When ev'ry other reason is gone.
In my five o'clock world she waits for me,
Nothing else matters at all.
'Cause ev'ry time my baby smiles at me,
I know that it's all worthwhile, yeah

Five O'Clock World

In this song, the singer works hard all day to earn a living, but he comes alive at 5 O'Clock - quitting time.

The Vogues were a vocal quartet from Turtle Creek, Pennsylvania. This is their best-known song, but they placed three others in the US Top 10: "You're The One" (#4, 1965), "Turn Around, Look At Me" (#7, 1968), and "My Special Angel" (#7, 1968, also a #1 Adult Contemporary hit).

This was used as the opening of The Drew Carey Show for the first few seasons, later the intro theme was changed to "Cleveland Rocks". (thanks, Gene - Hammond, IN)

This song was written by Allen Reynolds, who went on to great success as Garth Brooks' record producer. (thanks, Travis - Los Angeles, CA)

This was recorded in Nashville at RCA Studio B, which is where Roy Orbison, Dolly Parton, the Everly Brothers, and hundreds of others put down tracks. The musicians on the session were transplants from FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, which was just becoming a musical mecca. David Briggs (keyboards), Jerry Carrigan (drums) and Norbert Putnam (bass) were some of the musicians on the session.

Busy Earnin'

Jungle is a London-based group comprising Josh "J" Lloyd-Watson and Tom "T" McFarland, who grew up as neighbors in West London. This is a track from their eponymous debut album.

Jungle told NME about the song: "It's weird, a lot of people seem to have thought this song's a celebration of making money when it's completely the opposite. It's about that fear of spending your life chasing a career you don't really want."

J told The Sun: "There were so many versions of Busy Earnin'. We had a seven minute psychedelic version that got cut down, but I do think there was a point where it came together like glue, and I sat down and thought, 'This sounds really good.'"

The video shows an unidentified street dance crew who hold their pose before completing an aggressive routine choreographed by Birdgang member Kendra J Horsburgh. J told NME: "The guys in 'Busy Earnin' represent the meanings of the song, but just in their eyes. I love that human emotion. It's true to what we're about."

For this is gonna hurt like hell.

Hold on

You know that only time can tell

What is it in me that refuses to believe
This isn't easier than the real thing.

My love
You know that you're my best friend.
You know that I'd do anything for you
And my love
Let nothing come between us
My love for you is strong and true.

Am I in heaven here or

At the crossroads I am standing.

So now you're sleeping peaceful
I lie awake and pray
That you'll be strong tomorrow
And will see another day
And we will praise it
And love the light that brings a smile
Across your face.

Oh God,
If you're out there won't you hear me.
I know that we've never talked before

And oh God,
The man I love is leaving
Won't you take him when he comes to your door.

Am I in heaven here or
Am I in hell
At the crossroads I am standing.

So now you're sleeping peaceful
I lie awake and pray
That you'll be strong tomorrow
And we'll see another day
And we will praise it
And love the light that brings a smile
Now you're sleeping peaceful

Ten thousand stories sent
Two lovers disguise
You've seen the future now
A love that is blind

Makes you want to Kiss and Not Tell
Makes you want to kiss and not tell

You've dialed that number now
So where's the surprise
Temptations calling you
A secret reply

Makes you want to kiss and not tell
Makes you want to kiss and not tell

All along I've had feelings I can't help
Makes me want to kiss and not tell

You say in evidence
They won't take you alive
But when the sun goes down
You cover your lies

Makes you want to kiss and not tell
Makes you want to kiss and not tell

You like the elegance
But it's weighing you down
And sometimes you just need a night on the town, oh

Makes you want to kiss and not tell
Makes you want to kiss and not tell

All along I've had feelings I can't help
Makes me want to kiss and not
And all I want is to come right out of my shell
Makes me want to kiss and not tell

All along I've had feelings I can't help
Makes me want to kiss and not
And all I want is to come right out of my shell
Makes you want to kiss and not tell

All along I
Feelings I can't
Feelings I can't help
All I want is
To come right out my
Come right out my shell

All along I
Feelings I can't
Feelings I can't help
All I want is
To come right out my
To come right out my shell (Makes me want to kiss)

Feelings I can't help (Makes me want to kiss)
All I want is
To come right out my
To come right out my shell (Makes me want to kiss)

Kiss and Not Tell

Singing in a lower register and with more controlled tones than on La Roux's debut record, Elly Jackson sounds like a different person on this song. "I wasn't just an angry young girl when I made the first album, I was f---ing FURIOUS," she laughed to Q magazine, "That's why I sang in a register only dogs could hear."

So what changed?

"I'm not in pain any more," Jackson replied. "The first album was all, 'Ohhh, you don't love me.' I would drive to Ben's studio in tears every day. It's different this time because I didn't have that ache to write - I'm not writing songs to say, 'Yeah, that's what I f---ing feel about you!' I'm writing about characters instead."

The song features cult performer Chilly Gonzalez pounding the piano. The Canadian pianist and producer is best known for playing the outro on Drake's "Marvin's Room" and the flamenco solo that opens Daft Punk's "Within."

One-time La Roux collaborator, Ben Langmaid, is missing from Trouble In Paradise. The pair were on different pages sonically and the final split came during the recording of this song. Jackson recalled to The Sun: "The moment I realised it wasn't working was one afternoon in the barn studio we worked in. We had been desperately trying to record the guitar part of 'Kiss and Not Tell.' There was a lot of hum and noise in the barn because it wasn't designed for recording. It was frustrating. Then we finally got this great sound and I did the best guitar performance I've ever done. But Ben didn't want it, and that turned into a huge argument."

"He left that night and that was the last time we saw each other," she added.

The song's music video was directed by Alexander Brown (James Blake's "The Wilhelm Scream"). The clip channels a 1980s adult chat line commercial with Elly Jackson playing host.

Cleanin Out My Closet Lyrics

Where's my snare?
I have no snare in my headphones
there you go
Yeah
yo, yo

Have you ever been hated or discriminated against?
I have, I've been protested and demonstrated against
Picket signs for my wicked rhymes, look at the times
Sick as the mind of the motherfucking kid that's behind
All this commotion emotions run deep as ocean's exploding
Tempers flaring from parents just blow 'em off and keep going
Not taking nothing from no one give 'em hell long as I'm breathing
Keep kicking ass in the morning and taking names in the evening
Leave 'em with a taste as sour as vinegar in they mouth
See they can trigger me, but they'll never figure me out
Look at me now, I bet ya probably sick of me now ain't you momma?
I'mma make you look so ridiculous now

I'm sorry momma!
I never meant to hurt you!
I never meant to make you cry, but tonight
I'm cleaning out my closet (one more time)
I said I'm sorry momma!
I never meant to hurt you!
I never meant to make you cry, but tonight
I'm cleaning out my closet

Ha! I got some skeletons in my closet
And I don't know if no one knows it
So before they thrown me inside my coffin and close it
I'mma expose it, I'll take you back to '73
Before I ever had a multi-platinum selling CD
I was a baby, maybe I was just a couple of months
My faggot father must have had his panties up in a bunch
'Cause he split, I wonder if he even kissed me goodbye
No I don't. On second thought I just fucking wished he would die
I look at Hailie, and I couldn't picture leaving her side
Even if I hated Kim, I grit my teeth and I'd try
To make it work with her at least for Hailie's sake
I maybe made some mistakes, but I'm only human
but I'm man enough to face them today
What I did was stupid, no doubt it was dumb
But the smartest shit I did was take the bullets outta that gun
'Cause I'da killed him, shit I would've shot Kim and him both
It's my life, I'd like to welcome y'all to "The Eminem Show"

I'm sorry momma!
I never meant to hurt you!
I never meant to make you cry, but tonight
I'm cleaning out my closet (one more time)
I said I'm sorry momma!
I never meant to hurt you!
I never meant to make you cry, but tonight
I'm cleaning out my closet

Now I would never diss my own momma just to get recognition
Take a second to listen for who you think this record is dissing
But put yourself in my position, just try to envision
Witnessing your momma popping prescription pills in the kitchen
Bitching that someone's always going through her purse and shit's missing
Going through public housing systems, victim of Munchhausen's Syndrome
My whole life I was made to believe I was sick when I wasn't
'Til I grew up, now I blew up, it makes you sick to ya stomach
Doesn't it? Wasn't it the reason you made that CD for me Ma?
So you could try to justify the way you treated me Ma?
But guess what? You're getting older now and it's cold when you're lonely
And Nathan's growing up so quick he's gonna know that you're phony
And Hailie's getting so big now, you should see her, she's beautiful
But you'll never see her, she won't even be at your funeral!
See what hurts me the most is you won't admit you was wrong
Bitch do your song, keep telling yourself that you was a mom!
But how dare you try to take what you didn't help me to get
You selfish bitch, I hope you fucking burn in hell for this shit
Remember when Ronnie died and you said you wished it was me?
Well guess what, I am dead, dead to you as can be!

I'm sorry momma!
I never meant to hurt you!
I never meant to make you cry, but tonight
I'm cleaning out my closet (one more time)
I said I'm sorry momma!
I never meant to hurt you!
I never meant to make you cry, but tonight
I'm cleaning out my closet

Cleanin Out My Closet

In this song Eminem talks about his mother who he feels neglected and mistreated him. When he says "Remember when Ronnie died and you said you wished that was me," he is referring to his uncle Ronnie who committed suicide in 1991. Eminem has a tattoo with his name on his left arm which reads R.I.P. with Ronnie written below it. (thanks, Modi Palmer - Houston, TX)

This was used in some of the first trailers for Eminem's movie 8 Mile. It was going to be featured in the film, but Eminem objected because he thought it was too personal. He wrote "Lose Yourself" to use in the movie and made sure to write it as the character he played in the movie.

The phrase "Cleaning out my closet" is saying that he is tired of keeping the truth about his past inside, and he wants to let everyone know about the things that happened in his childhood.

At one point, Eminem raps about his mother having Munchausen Syndrome, which is a condition where someone fakes illness to get attention. In this case, Eminem accuses him mom of keeping him sick for this purpose. (thanks, Mary - Baltimore, MD, for above 2)

When Eminem raps, "Wasn't it the reason you made that CD for me, ma, so you could try to justify the way you treated me?," he's referring to a 2001 CD called "Set The Record Straight" by the rap duo ID-X. The disc contains a song called "Dear Marshall" where Debbie Mathers, who is Eminem's mom, reads a letter to her son. (thanks, Bryan - Rockville, MD)

On his 2013 track "Headlights," Eminem apologizes to his mother for this song when he raps, "I'm sorry mama for 'Cleanin' Out My Closet.'" He also includes a line about how he dropped the song from his setlist: "That song I no longer pay at shows and I cringe every time it's on the radio."
