Never made it as a wise man
ReplyDeleteI could not cut it as a poor man stealing.
tired of living like a blind man,
I am sick of sight without a sense of feeling, and
THIS IS HOW YOU REMIND ME.
THIS IS HOW ,YOU REMIND OF WHAT I REALLY AM.
THIS IS HOW ,YOU REMIND ME OF WHAT I REALLY AM
it is not like you , to say sorry,
I was waiting on a different story
this time I am, mistaken for handing you a heart worth breaking
,and I have been wrong ,I have been down, into the bottom of every bottle
these five words in my head, screaming: "Are we having fun yet?"
yeah yeah yeah, no no.
yeah yeah yeah, no no
It is not like you did not know that.
I said I love you and swear I still do,
It Must HAVE BEEN so bad, cause living with me must have killed you, and
THIS IS HOW YOU REMIND ME OF WHAT I REALLY AM
THIS IS HOW, YOU REMIND ME OF WHAT I REALLY AM...

DeleteI remember WHEN WE BROKE UP THE FIRST TIME
ReplyDeleteSaying, "This is it, I've had enough," 'cause like
We hadn't seen each other in a month
When you said YOU NEEDED SPACE. (What?)
Then you come around again and say
"Baby, I miss you and I swear I'm gonna change, trust me."
Remember HOW THAT LASTED FOR A DAY?
I say, "I hate you," we break up, you call me, "I love you."
Oooh we called it off again last night
But oooh, this time I'm telling you, I'm telling you
WE ARE NEVER EVER EVER GETTING BACK TOGETHER
We are never ever ever getting back together
You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together
Like, ever...
I'm really gonna miss you picking fights
And me, falling for it screaming that I'm right
And you, would hide away and find your peace of mind
With some indie record that's much cooler than mine
Oooh, you called me up again tonight
But oooh, this time I'm telling you, I'm telling you
WE ARE NEVER EVER EVER GETTING BACK TOGETHER
We are never ever ever getting back together
You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me (talk to me)
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together
Oooh yeah, oooh yeah, oooh yeah
Oh oh oh
I used to think THAT WE WERE FOREVER
And I used to say, "Never say never..."
Uggg, so he calls me up and he's like, "I still love you,"
And I'm like... "I just... I mean this is exhausting, you know, like,
We are never getting back together. Like, ever"
No!
We are never ever ever getting back together
We are never ever ever getting back together
You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together
We, ohhh, getting back together,ohhh,
We, ohhh, getting back together
You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me (talk to me)
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together
I HATE this song but it's all the time on the radio, and has some noun clauses
Taylor Swift "We are never ever getting back together"
Good noun clauses... I think its a good choice for the contest even though you hate it.
DeleteAdele
ReplyDeleteI've been walking in the same way as I did
Missing out the cracks in the pavement
And tutting my heel and strutting my feet
"Is there anything I CAN DO for you dear? Is there anyone I COULD CALL?"
"No and thank you, please Madam. I ain't lost, just wandering"
Round my hometown
Memories are fresh
Round my hometown
Ooh the people I've met
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of this world
Are the wonders of my world
I like it in the city WHEN THE AIR IS so thick and opaque
I love to see everybody in short skirts, shorts and shades
I like it in the city WHEN TWO WORLDS COLLIDE
You get the people and the government
Everybody taking different sides
Shows THAT WE AIN'T GONNA STAND
Shows THAT WE ARE UNITED
Shows THAT WE AIN'T GONNA TAKE IT
Shows THAT WE AIN'T GONNA STAND SHIT
Shows THAT WE ARE UNITED
Round my hometown
Memories are fresh
Round my hometown
Ooh the people I've met
(Do da di di da da da da do do do do oh oh oh yaaaaaa yaa aye)
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of this world
Are the wonders of my world
Of my world
Yeah
Of my world
Of my world yeah
By Adele..I love Adele and she's not a homewrecker$:
She's not a home wrecker, perhaps, but the character in that song sure is!
DeleteI like it in the city WHEN THE AIR IS so thick and opaque
NOT a noun clause; it's an adverb clause of time. You can move it to the front and it makes sense.
You think I'm pretty
ReplyDeleteWithout any makeup on
You think I'm funny WHEN I TELL THE PUNCH LINE WRONG
I know you get me
So I let my walls come down, down
Before you met me I was alright
But things were kinda heavy
You brought me to life,
Now every February
You'll be my Valentine, Valentine
(Pre-chorus)
Let's go all the way tonight
No regrets, just love
We can dance until we die
You and I, we'll be young forever
(Chorus)
You make me
Feel like I'm living a
Teenage dream
The way you turn me on
I can't sleep
Let's run away and
Don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
My heart stops
WHEN YOU LOOK AT ME
Just one touch
Now baby I believe
This is real
So take a chance and
And don't ever look back
Don't ever look back.
(Verse)
We drove to Cali and got drunk
On the beach
Got a motel and built a fort
Out of sheets
I finally found you,
My missing puzzle piece
I'm complete
(Pre-chorus)
Let's go all the way tonight
No regrets, just love
We can dance until we die
You and I, we'll be young forever
(Chorus)
You make me
Feel like I'm living a
Teenage dream
The way you turn me on
I can't sleep
Let's run away and
Don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
My heart stops
WHEN YOU LOOK AT ME
Just one touch
Now baby I believe
This is real
So take a chance
And don't ever look back
Don't ever look back.
"Teenage dream" by Katy Perry
Not a noun clause--its an adverb clause of time. It answers the question "when?"
DeleteMy heart stops when you look at me.
When you look at me, my heart stops.
Turn off the lights
ReplyDeleteAnd touch me in the dark
Fade into the feeling
Whisper in my ear
WHAT YOU WANT
WHAT YOU NEED
Tell me my name
Tell me my name
Again, again, again, again
Just yell out my name baby
I got your nights (I got your nights)
I got your days (I got your days)
I got you on (I got you on)
My time
I got your nights (I got your nights)
I got your days (I got your days)
I got you on (I got you on)
The sweat rolls down your thigh
Were making moves so blind
It's WHAT YOU WANT
It's WHAT YOU NEED
I'm just the same baby
I got your nights (I got your nights)
I got your days (I got your days)
I got you on (I got you on)
My time
I got your nights (I got your nights)
I got your days (I got your days)
I got you on (I got you on)
My time
And you're holding on to me like an old love
THAT YOU KNOW EVERY ENCH OF
WHEN I FEEL YOU START TO GO
Take it slow, 'til your body's saying more...baby!
I got your nights (I got your nights)
I got your days (I got your days)
I got you on (I got you on)
My time
I got your nights (I got your nights)
I got your days (I got your days)
I got you on (I got you on)
My time
Gonna be on
My time
My time
I got your nights (I got your days)
I got your days (I got you on)
I got you on
My time
Minus the Bear - My Time
Sorry i can't post any Hip Hop song.
Wow, this is a very sexy song which I had never heard before.
DeleteAbdulaziz, what kind of clause is this? Hint: It's not a noun clause.
"And you're holding on to me like an old love
THAT YOU KNOW EVERY INCH OF"
And what about this one?
"WHEN I FEEL YOU START TO GO
Take it slow."
Hint: It's not a noun clause either.
Why can't you post a hip hop song? Couldn't find a noun clause?
