YAGT: Not looking for advice... just trying to find a song that fits the situation (male R&B artist?)

[BaDaBooM]

Here's the situation:

I met this amazing woman where she works and I've been going and talking to her there for a few months now. I don't find many women that I really like the way I like her (only 2 in 5 years; dated/met many more women, but only 2 I'm crazy about including her). I know she likes me and wants me around, but I'm getting a little frustrated because she won't go out with me elsewhere. We talk about it and she says it's because she's "messed up" right now. She has a son and is divorced. Also she broke up with her boyfriend not long before meeting me. I dunno, I get the feeling that she wants to keep me around for when she's ready but god knows when that will be. I'm not going to wait forever. I've already been pretty patient given it's been 3 months and still no "real" date.

Anyway, I'm about to go out of the country for a month and am going to see her before I leave. I figure when I get back, I'll see if anything has changed.... perhaps she'll miss me and realize she should at least give it a try. I was gonna have the DJ play a song to make her think about how she might be missing out on something great, but I can't seem to find one that fits. Any ideas? (a few sarcastic answers, as I'm sure there will be, are welcome for humor... but it is a serious question).

 

[spanky]

how about this... not exactly what u want... but sorta close

all 4 one - i will be right there

wherever you go, whatever you do,
whenever you need me
how can i say how much you've done for me
how much i have just knowing i had you
you touched my world
and i'll never be the same
you touched my heart
and know everything has changed
you are the one in this life i'll remember

wherever you go
whatever you do
wherever you are
my heart is with you
no matter how far i'll always be near
whenever you need me
i will be right here

there'll always be a part of you with me
i hope there'll be a part of me with you
oh baby just call my name
and i'll here you on the wind
just close your eyes
and i'll find you once again
just know i'm on your side and remember

wherever you go
whatever you do
wherever you are
my heart is with you
no matter how far i'll always be near
whenever you need me
i will be right here

and when the wind touches you
it will touch me too
and the same star you see
will be the one that shines on me
i'll be here when you need me
i'll be here any time
baby i'm on your side so remember

wherever you go
whatever you do
wherever you are

wherever you go
whatever you do
wherever you are
my heart is with you
no matter how far i'll always be near
whenever you need me
i will be right here
i will be right here
i will be right here

 

[BigPoppa]

Hmm,
New - Michelle branch - "Its you"
Old - Shawn Mullins - "Lullaby" - this one because its about someone going through tough times, etc etc.
If you've both had your hearts broken - Jack Johnson - "Cacoon", fits my girlfriend and I rather well, before we got together.

These are all just off the top of my head.

Everything But The Girl - Missing

 

[BaDaBooM]

Spanky- I should have mentioned that she works at a club/bar... though they will play slower songs sometimes, but not that slow. Also that's a little too mushy I think. I've been looking around for one that talks about missing your chance.... not letting "the one" get away. I dunno... no luck yet. Keep the suggestions coming though.

 

[freakflag]

So I sit here on the stairs
'cause I'd rather be alone
If I can't have you right now
I'll wait here......

sad woman, take it slow
and things will be just fine
you and I got what it takes to make it

 

[spanky]

or....

brandy - have you ever


Have you ever loved somebody so much
It makes you cry
Have you ever needed something so bad
You can't sleep at night
Have you ever tried to find the words
But they don't come out right
Have you ever have you ever
Have you ever been in love
Been in love so bad
You'd do anything to make them understand
Have you ever had someone steal your heart away
You'd give anything up to make them feel the same
Have you ever searched for words to get you in their heart
But you don't know what to say
And you don't know where to start
Have you ever loved somebody so much
It's makes you cry
Have you ever needed something so bad
You can't sleep at night
Have you ever tried to find the words
But they don't come out right
Have you ever, have you ever
Have you ever found the one
You've dreamed of all your life
You'd do just about anything to look into their eyes
Have you finally found the one you've given your heart to
Only to find that one won't give their heart to you
Have you ever closed your eyes and
Dreamed that they were there
And all you can do is wait for that day when they will care
Have you ever loved somebody so much
It's makes you cry
Have you ever needed something so bad
You can't sleep at night
Have you ever tried to find the words
But they don't come out right
Have you ever, have you ever
What do I gotta do to get you in my arms baby
What do I gotta say to get to your heart
To make you understand how I need you next to me
Gotta get you in my world
'Cuz baby I can't sleep
Have you ever loved somebody so much
It's makes you cry
Have you ever needed something so bad
You can't sleep at night
Have you ever tried to find the words
But they don't come out right
Have you ever, have you ever

 

[spanky]

dudE!!! i got the perfect song... gimme a sec...

edit - oh fak.... a few stupid words fsck up the whole song.... argh! it be perfect if u were a woman looking for a guy tho. anyway... here it is anyway...


Groove Theory - Tell Me

I've been doing my own thing
Love has always had a way of having bad timing
But to my great surprise
Ever since I looked in your eyes
I had one question for you

1-Tell me if you want me to
Give you all my time
I wanna make it good for you
Cuz you blow my mind
I promise boy that I'll be true
You're the perfect find
So tell me if you want me to

Yeah
If you thought I'd sleep on this
Boy, you're wrong cuz all I dream about is
Our first kiss
And you're the first one to make me feel like this
And this is one opportunity that I can't resist
No no

Boy you wanna know the deal
You are wondering if the words I'm saying are for real
Cuz you got more appeal
Than any man in this whole world
And baby I got to know how you feel
(rpt 1)

Sweetheart now it's time I let you know
I don't want to rush
We should take it slow
Boy, I can love you, can you help me grow
Give me a new beginning

The Thong Song?

 

[BaDaBooM]

Man... trying to find some samples of these songs.... I'll respond as I hear the songs.

Mustangrrl - already seen her thong, my friend

 

[MovingTarget]

ummm...dunno quite if this fits, but how about Guns n' Roses - November Rain?

When I look into you eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin' when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same

'Cause nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain

We've been through this such a long long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain
But lovers always come and lovers always go
And no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
Walking away

If we could take the time
to lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin' that you were mine
All mine

So if you want to love me
then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin'
In the cold November rain

Do you need some time...on your own
Do you need some time...all along
Everybody needs some time...
on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone

I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you

Sometimes I need some time...on my own
Sometimes I need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...
on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone

And when your fears subside
And shadows still reamin
I know that you can love me
When there's no one left to blame

So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
Even cold November rain

Don't ya think that you need somebody
Don't ya think that you need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one

[BaDaBooM]

Damn, spanky... you're right. If it had just been written from a guy's perspective. As it is though I think it might make her think about how hetero I am and that's not the desired effect. LOL

 

[Schadenfroh]

She was a fast machine
She kept her motor clean
She was the best damn woman I had ever seen
She had the sightless eyes
Telling me no lies
Knockin' me out with those American thighs
Taking more than her share
Had me fighting for air
She told me to come but I was already there

'Cause the walls start shaking
The earth was quaking
My mind was aching
And we were making it and you -

Shook me all night long

Working double time
On the seduction line
She was one of a kind, she's just mine all mine
She wanted no applause
Just another course
Made a meal out of me and came back for more
Had to cool me down
To take another round
Now I'm back in the ring to take another swing

'Cause the walls were shaking
The earth was quaking
My mind was aching
And we were making it and you -

Shook me all night long

[BaDaBooM]

The club plays mainly current stuff.... R&B, rap, some hard rock, and sometimes slow stuff like purple rain. Has to be something you can dance to though.

 

[spanky]

hehehe....

Tonight
I know in my heart I want to be with you
Let me love you tonight

How can I make you want me?
How can I make it for real?
I wanna love you forever
I hope that you feel the same

I'd give everything for you
To make you want to stay
I'll give everything I have
I love you more than I can say

Let me love you tonight
And I'll make you feel alright
I know in my heart I want to be with you

Oh, baby, let me love you tonight
And I'll make you feel alright
In a million years I won't be over you
Let me love you tonight

I know you don't want to
Be without my love
And if you're gonna kiss me
You know that you'll have to stay

I'd give everything for you
To make you want to stay
I'll give everything I have
I love you more than I can say

Let me love you tonight
And I'll make you feel alright
I know in my heart I want to be with you

Oh, baby, let me love you tonight
And I'll make you feel alright
In a million years I won't be over you

Let me love you tonight
Let me love you tonight

In the light I see your face
But only in my dreams
Let me be the one to hold your hand
And make you understand

Oh let me love you
I want to make you feel alright
Yes I know in my heart I want to be with you

Oh baby let me love you

Let me love you tonight
And I'll make you feel alright
I know in my heart I want to be with you

Let me love you tonight
And I'll make you feel alright
In a million years I won't be over you

Let me love you tonight
Let me love you tonight

Sorry spanky.... I think posting pictures of her thong on the internet isn't quite the impression I want her to have of me.

I Just Want To Be Your Everything, Andy Gibb

For so long
You and me been finding each other for so long
And the feeling that I feel for you is more then strong, girl
Take it from me
If you give a little more then you're asking for
Your love will turn the key
Darling mine
I would wait forever for those lips of wine
Build my world around you, darling
This love will shine girl
Watch it and see
If you give a little more then you're asking for
Your love will turn the key

I, I just want to be your everything
Open up the heaven in your heart and let me be
The things you are to me and not some puppet on a string
Oh, if I stay here without you, darling, I will die
I want you laying in the love I have to bring
I'd do anything to be your everything

Darling for so long
You and me been finding each other for so long
And the feeling that I feel for you is more then strong girl
Take it from me
If you give a little more then you're asking for
Your love will turn the key

 

[BaDaBooM]

Hmm.... still looking for something that grabs me. I think an R&B male artist would be the right way to go, style wise. There's got to be a song that has something to that effect from one of those guys.... or are they all just about getting her in the bed?

[RalphWiggum]

This looks like fun, so I'll take a shot at it.

How about Hi-Five - I can't Wait Another Minute? Or, the remake of Wonderful Tonight by Damage?

EDIT: I Can't Wait Another Minute
Hi-five

You know I've been waiting so long for this chance...
Can we talk alone?

But I can't wait another minute
I can't wait another minute

Verse 1:
Little lady you look so fine
Can't turn my eyes away
So much I wanna say, and
Tonight I wanna make you mine
We'll turn the lights down low
And dance so very slow
I know that we don't know each other well
But I can't believe I'm wasting your time, oh no
So tell me what to do
For the love of you tonight

Chorus:
Cuz I've been holding back what I feel
Love's so real
But I can't wait another minute
I can't wait another minute
Cuz I've been holding back all I feel
I'm for real
Cuz I can't wait another minute
I can't wait another minute for your love

Your love...
No...
No no baby

Verse 2:
Sweet lady
Don't you look away
I don't mean to make you shy
But we haven't got much time
Tonight I know just what to say, yeah
I'll love your cares away
And you and I will find a way
You know that there's a possibility
That we'll never get this chance once again, oh no
So tell me what to do
For the love of you tonight
Baby tonight

Chorus:
Cuz I've been holding back what I feel love's so real
But I can't wait another minute
I can't wait another minute
Cuz I've been hnolding back all I feel
I'm for real
Cuz I can't wait another minute (oh no I can't)
I can't wait another minute for your love

Your love...
Oh yeah

Bridge:
I know that we don't know each other well
But I can't believe I'm wasting your time, oh no
So tell me what to do for the love of you
Tonight...
Tonight baby

Chorus:
Cuz I've been holding back what I feel
Love's so real
But I can't wait another minute (I can't wait)
I can't wait another minute
Cuz I've been holding back all I feel
I'm for real
Cuz I can't wait another (wait another)
I can't wait another minute
For your love
(I can't wait another minute)
(Not another minute baby)
But I can't wait another minute
I can't wait another minute
Cuz I've been holding back all I feel
I'm for real
Cuz I can't wait another minute
I can't wait another minute for your love
Oohhh...nooo...

Don't make me wait another minute
Oh no baby

For your love

 

[BaDaBooM]

Hmm, having trouble finding those last two suggested by RalphW
