    Eg:
    I SEE A RED DOOR AND I WANT IT PAINTED BLACK

    What's that from?

    The very fact that I don't know it probably indicates that I'm not going to be much good at providing lyrics though.

    "I was in your arms thinking I belonged there"

    "bet you gonna find some people who live"

    "who'd have believed you'd come along"

    "nobody knows what it's like to be the bad man"

    "I can't light no more of your darkness"

    "you climbed on the ladder with the wind in your sails"

    "she came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge"

    I can come up with tons more! I have a knack for remembering lyrics

    I know just one of those. I love music, but don't always pay attention to lyrics.

    It can be fun to try to find songs that most people know half a line of and the rest as phonetic nonsense. Songs you doobie doo through. Like "Take On Me" or most of Roxy Music.

    “I gotta feeling that you have a heart like mine,
    So let it show, let it shine.”


    “Just because we are married
    Don't mean we can't slip around”


    “Once in a while I hear the sound of music in the winter night ”


    “When first I saw the love-light in your eyes,
    I dreamed the world held not but joy for me.”
