I can't wait For you to ovulate
Outstanding
Rogue1001 · 04/12/2021 16:46

I'm going out in a bit, but not a late night. If these are still outstanding later, I'll add more lyrics

Rogue1001 · 04/12/2021 16:47

Yeah, the one at the top of this page is still outstanding.

Disgraceful shakes head sadly

If I'm acting so distracted
I'm thinking about the fireworks
That go off when you smile

Even when it cuts so deep
It's true I still want you
But the harder I try
The more I seem to lose

With the way that you left me
I can hardly contain
The hurt and the anger
And the joy of the pain

Anyone who ever held you
Would tell you the way I'm feeling
Anyone who ever wanted you
Would try to tell you what I feel inside

Watch this space
There's a message here for you
No need to read between the lines
I am inside out
There can be no doubt
I want you and no-one else
Please identify yourself

Rogue1001 · 05/12/2021 09:05

I know no 4!!!!!

Just can't quite reach it atm

Morning all.

Another bad night, coffee?

Rogue1001 · 05/12/2021 09:08

Yes to sexual healing. I don't think it's a misheard lyric.

I'll add more lyrics to my outstanding ones. You'll kick yourselves for one of them

Rogue1001 · 05/12/2021 09:15

I, yes I love you and think you should know
Do you know?
With your love light shining
Every cloud's got a silver lining
So

70s

Mama tells me I shouldn't bother
That I ought just stick to another man
A man that surely deserves me
But I think you do

So I cry and I pray and I beg

90s

And I'm stunned no one got:-

In starlit nights I saw you
So cruelly you kissed me
Your lips a magic world
Your sky all hung with jewels

80s

Rogue1001 · 05/12/2021 09:16
