She Will Be Loved
by Adam Levine, James Valentine, Jesse Carmichael, Mickey Madden, Ryan Dusick
Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else
I drove for miles and miles
And wound up at your door
I've had you so many times but somehow
I want more
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get so insecure
It doesn't matter anymore
It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along
My heart is full and my door's always open
You can come anytime you want
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
I know where you hide
Alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls
Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain...

I decided to post song lyrics as my poem this week for a couple of reasons. First, I went to a concert this week and now I just can't get this song out of my head. Second, when I hear this song, I see it as a book. I can imagine the back story of the girl and the guy and their friendship. And third, what are songs, after all, if not poems put to music?

Yes, that's what lyrics are.
ReplyDeleteAnd these are beautiful. I read the lyrics through and then your note, and it's funny, bc I was thinking the same thing you were....
Hoping you have a magnificent weekend planned, Miss Em.
When I hear songs, I often see the story in my head. I think I missed my calling as music video script writer. :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful. I'm going to look up the song now.
