Month of Music Meme - Day 8 — A Song That You Know All The Words To

[csberry]

I am severely handicapped by my utter ignorance to lyrics to songs. There are TONS of songs that I only know bits and pieces of lyrics and yet I sing along to the whole song as phonetically as my attention allows. There are only a hand full of songs that if I had to sing without assistance that I could actually do so.

Honestly, the first song that jumped to mind was "Please Do Not Go" by Violent Femmes, so I decided to go with my first impulse rather than debate the song selection with myself. I would like to apologize for the video. There weren't any album versions that I could find online and other recent live performances with better video/audio quality use a alternate version of the song.

Tell ya man
I'm stuck on this lovely girl
Of course to me she mean all the world
But then
She like another guy
I fall down dead
She never see the tears I cry

So please please please
Do not go
Please please please
Do not go
Please please please
Do not go

How long can the days go on
When my love is so strong
And I know I cannot tell a lie
I want to see him go bye
Goodbye bye goodbye bye bye bye bye bye bye
Now I wonder, I wonder what she would say
If I told her, If I told her I felt this way
You know it might make her turn
Might make her turn, might make her turn
Either way
So all I can do is patiently pray pray
pray pray pray

So please please please
Do not go
Please please please
Do not go
Please please please
Do not go

How long can the days go on
When my love is so strong
And I know I cannot tell a lie
I wanna see him go bye
Goodbye bye goodbye bye bye bye bye bye bye

I'll tell you man I'm stuck
I'm stuck, I'm stuck on this lovely girl
And y'know I'd travel, I could travel over the whole world
And you know what she does
She turn around and like another guy
I fall down dead
She never see the tears I cry

Please please please
Do not go
Please please please
Do not go
Please please please
Do not go
Please please please
Do not go
Please please please
You hurt me
Please please please
You hurt me so
Please please please
I've got something to show
