You’re a real tough cookie with a long history
Of breaking little hearts like the one in me.
That’s okay, lets see how you do it,
Put up your dukes, let’s get down to it.
Hit Me With Your Best Shot – Pat Benatar
-“BB”-
If he didn’t care for me
I could have never made him mad
But he hit me
And I was glad
Yes, he hit me
And it felt like a kiss
You don’t have to be rich to be my girl
You don’t have to be cool to rule my world
Ain’t no particular sign I’m more compatible with
I just want your extra time and your kiss
I guess I should’ve known by the way
You parked your car sideways that it wouldn’t last
See, you’re the kinda person that believes in makin’ out once
Love 'em and leave 'em fast
You might be quite the fickle-hearted rover
So carefree and bold
Who loves a girl and later thinks it over
And just quits cold
It used to be when I’d see a girl that I like
I’d get out my book and write down her name
But when the grass got a little greener on the other side
I’d just tear out that page
But then I fooled around and fell in love
But what a fool believes, he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
Than nothing at all
Why does the rain fall from above?
Why do fools fall in love?
But the fool on the hill sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head see the world spinning round
I’m on the top of the world lookin’ down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I’ve found ever since you’ve been around
Your love’s put me at the top of the world
(Bits of) my creation–Is it real?
It’s my creation–I do not know
No hesitation–No heart of gold
Just flesh and blood–I do not know
I do not know
From my heart and from my hand
Why don’t people understand
My intentions, Ooh, weird science
Such an effort
If he only knew of my plan
In just seven days
I can make you a man
Let’s get down to business to defeat the Huns
Did they send me daughters when I asked for sons?
You’re the saddest bunch I ever met
But you can bet before we’re through
Mister, I’ll make a man out of you
(“I’ll Make a Man Out of You,” Donny Osmond (from Mulan) )
I got a twenty dollar gold piece
Says there ain’t nothing I can’t do,
I can make a dress out of a feed bag
And I can make a man out of you!
I’m a Woman – Peggy Lee
… (that lady could sure belt out a song!)
-“BB”-
And I’m standing on the corner with a dollar in my hand,
Looking for a woman who’s looking for a man
How long, Good God must I wait?
Can I get you now, oh no, must I hesitate.
I got a mom but I ain’t got a dad
My dad’s got a wife but she ain’t my mom
Mom’s looking for a man to be my dad
But I want my mom and dad to be my real
Mom and dad
Is that so bad
Oh, I think I’ve been had
Lost in America
I don’t wanna play house; I know it can’t be fun
I’ve watched mommy and daddy
And if that’s the way it’s done
I don’t wanna play house; It makes my mommy cry
'Cause when she played house
My daddy said good-bye.
Our house is a very, very, very fine house
With two cats in the yard
Life used to be so hard
Now everything is easy 'cause of you
Our house, was our castle and our keep
Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, that was where we used to sleep
Our house, in the middle of our street
She drew her wheel chair to the edge of the shore, and to her legs she smiled
“You won’t hurt me no more”
But then a sight she’d never seen made her jump and say
“Look, a golden winged ship is passing my way”
And it really didn’t have to stop, it just kept on going
And so castles made of sand
Slips into the sea, eventually
