Love songs w/ out the "L" word?

Hermes

here's a love song of a humorous nature

Lola by The Kinks

I met her in a club down in old soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry-cola [lp version:
Coca-cola]
C-o-l-a cola
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said lola
L-o-l-a lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola

Well I’m not the world’s most physical guy
But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine
Oh my lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola
Well I’m not dumb but I can’t understand
Why she walked like a woman and talked like a man
Oh my lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola

Well we drank champagne and danced all night
Under electric candlelight
She picked me up and sat me on her knee
And said dear boy won’t you come home with me
Well I’m not the world’s most passionate guy
But when I looked in her eyes well I almost fell for my lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola
Lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola

I pushed her away
I walked to the door
I fell to the floor
I got down on my knees
Then I looked at her and she at me

Well that’s the way that I want it to stay
And I always want it to be that way for my lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo lola
Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
It’s a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo lola

Well I left home just a week before
And I’d never ever kissed a woman before
But lola smiled and took me by the hand
And said dear boy I’m gonna make you a man

Well I’m not the world’s most masculine man
But I know what I am and I’m glad I’m a man
And so is lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola
Lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola

Gavin DeGraw - Follow Through

Oh, this is the start of something good
Don't you agree?
I haven't felt like this in so many moons
You know what I mean?
And we can build through this destruction
As we are standing on our feet
So, since you want to be with me
You'll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
You to stick around
I'll see you everyday
But you have to follow through
You have to follow through
These reeling emotions they just keep me alive
They keep me in tune
Oh, look what I'm holding here in my fire
This is for you
Am I too obvious to preach it?
You're so hypnotic on my heart
So, since you want to be with me
You'll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
You to stick around
I'll see you everyday
But you have to follow through
You have to follow through
The words you say to me are unlike anything
That's ever been said
And what you do to me is unlike anything
That's ever been
Am I too obvious to preach it?
You're so hypnotic on my heart
So, since you want to be with me
You'll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
(For) you to stick around
I'll see you everyday
But you'll have to follow through
With every word you say
An I, all I really want is you (For) you to stick around
I'll see everyday
But you have to follow through
You have to follow through
You're gonna have to follow
Oh, this is the start of something good
Don't you agree?

Damn that's a good one. I'll sniff around and see what I can come up with.

hi lola, i've read your other posts about this guy and, ahem, i think i have the PERFECT song to send to him if i do say so myself! this is one of my new favorite songs- soooo sweet and simple. and the sentiment is great (early stages of love, etc). send this one for sure! (it's by bright eyes.)

"First Day Of My Life"

This is the first day of my life
I swear I was born right in the doorway
I went out in the rain suddenly everything changed
Their spreading blankets on the beach

Yours is the first face that I saw
I think I was blind before I met you
Now I don’t know where I am
I don’t know where I’ve been
But I know where I want to go

And so I thought I’d let you know
That these things take forever
I especially am slow
But I realize that I need you
And I wondered if I could come home

Remember the time you drove all night
Just to meet me in the morning
And I thought it was strange you said everything changed
You felt as if you had just woke up
And you said “this is the first day of my life
I’m glad I didn’t die before I met you
But now I don’t care I could go anywhere with you
And I’d probably be happy”

So if you want to be with me
With these things there’s no telling
We just have to wait and see
But I’d rather be working for a paycheck
Then waiting to win the lottery
Besides maybe this time is different
I mean I really think you like me

Perfect!!!!!

Here's my first contribution:

BOB DYLAN I Want You lyrics

The guilty undertaker sighs
The lonesome organ grinder cries
The silver saxophones say I should refuse you
The cracked bells and washed-out horns
Blow into my face with scorn
But it's not that way
I wasn't born to lose you
I want you, I want you
I want you so bad
Honey, I want you.

The drunken politician leaps
Upon the street where mothers weep
And the saviors who are fast asleep
They wait for you
And I wait for them to interrupt
Me drinkin' from my broken cup
And ask for me
Open up the gate for you
I want you, I want you
Yes, I want you so bad
Honey, I want you.

Now all my fathers they've gone down
True love they've been without it
But all their daughters put me down
'Cause I don't think about it.

Well, I return to the Queen of Spades
And talk with my chambermaid
She knows that I'm not afraid
To look at her
She is good to me
And there's nothing she doesn't see
She knows where I'd like to be
But it doesn't matter
I want you, I want you
Yes, I want you so bad
Honey, I want you.

Now your dancing child with his Chinese suit
He spoke to me, I took his flute
No, I wasn't very cute to him - Was I ?
But I did though because he lied
Because he took you for a ride
And because time was on his side
And because I ..
I want you, I want you
Yes, I want you so bad
Honey, I want you.

I kinda always wanted someone to sing this song to me. But it's pretty intense, so you be the judge. Plus, I'm a HUGE Dylan fan.

Second contribution (there's going to be so many I don't think I can keep count):

Bangles Walking Down Your Street lyrics

Oooh, oh I've had sleepless nights
Toss and turn, wake up burning
For what you inspire.

So, I'm gonna walk right down your street
With a love that I can't hide
I've got one thing on my mind
Yeah, I'll even sacrifice my pride, 'cause I want you.

Oooh, oh how I wish you would be mine
My pulse is weak, I'm blushing brighter
Then a valentine.

'Cause I've been walking down your street
With a love that I can't hide
I've got one thing on my mind
Yeah, I'll even sacrifice my pride.

'Cause I can't stop the way I feel
So, I'll keep walking on, 'cause I want you.

(Walking...down...down...down your street
Walking...down your street)
Walking...down your street (walking)
Down your street (walking...down...down...down)
Oh no (walking) oh-woe-oh.

I can't stop the way I feel
So, I'll keep walking on.

Walking down your street
With a love that I can't hide
Oh, I've got one thing on my mind
Yeah, I'll even sacrifice my pride ('cause I want you).

Walking down your street
With a love that I can't hide
Yeah, I've got one thing on my mind
Yeah, I'll even sacrifice my pride ('cause I want you).

Walking down your street
With a love that I can't hide
Oh, I've got one thing on my mind
Yeah, I'll even sacrifice my pride ('cause I want you).

Norah Jones I've Got To See You Again lyricsLine on your face don't bother me
Down in my chair when you dance over me
I can't help myself
I've got to see you again

Late in the night when I'm all alone
And I look at the clock and I know you're not home
I can't help myself

I've got to see you again
I could almost go there
Just to watch you be seen
I could almost go there
Just to live in a dream

But no I won't go for any of those reasons
To not touch your skin is not why I sing
I can't help myself
I've got to see you again

I could almost go there....

No I won't go to share you with them
But oh even though I know where you've been
I can't help myself
I've got to see you again

blubirde · Chanel

And if you really want to know...

Norah Jones What am I to you? lyrics

What am I to you?

Tell me darlin' true
To me you are the sea
Vast as you can be
And deep the shade of blue

When you're feelin' low
Oh, to whom else do you go?
See, I'd cry if you hurt
I'd give you my last shirt
Because I love you so

Now if my sky should fall
Would you even call?
I've opened up my heart
I never want to part
I'm givin' you the ball

When I look in your eyes
I can feel the butterflies
I'll love you when you're blue
But tell me darlin' true
What am I to you?

Now if my sky should fall
Would you even call?
I've opened up my heart
I never wanna part
I'm givin' you the ball

When I look in your eyes
I can feel the butterflies
Could you find a love in me?
Would you carve me in a tree?
Don't fill my heart with lies
I will love you when you're blue
But tell me darlin' true
What am I to you?

Tower of Learning by Rufus Wainwright

I’m looking for the tower of learning
I’m looking for the copious prize
I saw it in your eyes what I’m looking for
I saw it in your eyes what I’m looking for

I really do fear that I’m dying
I really do fear that I’m dead
I saw it in your eyes what I’m looking for
I saw it in your eyes what will make me live

All the sights of paris
Pale inside your iris
Tip the eiffel tower with one glance
Stained glass cathedrals with one glint

You smashed it with your eyes
What I’m looking for
One blink and then my heart wasn’t there no more

I’m looking for the tower of learning
I’m looking for the copious prize

I'll Find A Way by Rachael Yamagata

I'll find a way to see you again
I'll find a way to see you again

I used to think that anything I'd do
Wouldn't matter at all anyway
But now I find that when it comes to you
I'm the winner of cards I can't play
Wait for me, wait for me
Darling, I need you desperately, desperately here

And I'll find a way to see you again
And I'll find a way to see you again

The rain is like an orchestra to me
Little gifts from above meant to say
Girl, you falling at his feet
Isn't lovely or stunning today
Wait with me, wait with me
I'm alive when you're here with me, here with me, stay

And I'll find a way to see you again
And I'll find a way to see you again

Why do the street lamps die
When you're passing by
Like a hand that won't stay on my shoulder tonight
If you held me close, would you laugh it away
Would you dare the glance that I steal to stay

And I'll find a way to see you again
Yes, I'll find a way to see you again
I'll find a way, a way, a way to see you again
I'll find a way, a way, a way to see you again
I'll find a way, a way, a way to see you again
The rain will bring, the rain will bring, the rain will bring, bring, bring me down
The rain will bring, the rain will bring, the rain will bring, bring, bring me down
The rain will bring, the rain will bring, the rain will bring, bring, bring me down

Anyone Else But You by The Moldy Peaches

You're a part time lover and a full time friend
The monkey on your back is the latest trend
I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else...but you
I'll kiss you on the brain in the shadow of the train
I'll kiss you all starry eyed my body swingin' from side to side
I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else...but you
Here is the church and here is the steeple
We sure are cute for two ugly people
I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else...but you
Pebbles forgive me, the trees forgive
So why can't you forgive me
I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else...but you
I will find my niche in your car
With my MP3, DVD, rumble pack guitar
I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else...but you
Up up down down left right left right B A start
Just because we use cheats doesn't mean we're not smart
I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else...but you
You are always tryin' to keep it real
I'm in love with how you feel
I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else...but you
We both have shiny happy fits of rage
You want more fans, I want more stage
I don't see what anyone can see im anyone else...but you
Don Quixote was a steel driving man
My name is Adam I'm your biggest fan
I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else...but you
Squinched up your face and did a dance
Shook a little terd out of the bottom of your pants
I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else...but you
but you

Sorry, I keep thinking of more. Even though this song is real weird I think it's one of the most romantic songs ever. But it does allude to marriage kind of, despite not saying "love."

blubirde · Chanel

I'm pretty sure he doesn't have blue eyes but this is my ALL TIME favorite love song someone could sing/dedicate/post on myspace for me. You could substitute all the "blue" with "brown" or whatever color eyes he has.

Cary Brothers, Blue Eyes

Wish enough, wise man'll tell you a lie
Window broke, torn up screens
Who'd have thought that you'd dream
Of a single tragic scene

I just wanna sing a song with you
I just want to take it off of you

Cause Blue Eyes
You are all that I need
Cause Blue Eyes
You’re the sweet to my mean

Fess it up, dot on the palm of your hand
I can help you to stand
Saved it up for this dance
Tell me all the things you can

I just wanna sing a song with you
I just wanna be the one that's true

Cause Blue Eyes
You’re the secret I keep
Cause Blue Eyes

All the lights on and you are alive
But you can't point the way to your heart
So sublime, when the stars are aligned
But you don't know
You don't know the greatness you are

Cause Blue Eyes
You are destiny's scene
Cause Blue Eyes
I just wanna be the one

I just wanna sing a song with you
I just wanna get it on with you

Cause Blue Eyes
You’re the secret I keep
Cause Blue Eyes
I just wanna sing a song with you…

Lola I think you created a monster - this is freaking addictive!!!!

The Used - I Caught Fire (In Your Eyes)

Seem to stop my breath, with my head on your chest
waiting to cave in, from the bottom of my
Hear your voice again, could we dim the sun
And wonder where we've been, maybe you and me so

Kiss me like you did
My heart stop beating
Such a softer said

(I'm melting)
(I'm melting)

In your eyes, I lost my place
Could stay awhile, and I'm melting
In your eyes, like my first time
That I caught fire, just stay with me, lay with me
Now

Never caught my breath, Every second
I'm without you I'm a mess ever known each other
Trust these words are stalled, i kept on healing
Learning how to love

I'm melting

In your eyes, I lost my place
Could stay awhile, and I'm melting
In your eyes, like my first time
That I caught fire, just stay with me, lay with me
Stay with me, lay with me
Now

You can stay and watch me fall
And of course I'll ask for help
(Woah)
Just stay with me
We can take our hands I'll stay in there
Just make love that's there
(Woah)

Just stay with me now
(I'm melting)
(I'm melting)

In your eyes, I lost my place
Could stay awhile, and I'm melting
In your eyes, like my first time
That I caught fire, just stay with me, lay with me

In your eyes, I lost my place
Could stay awhile, and I'm melting
In your eyes, like my first time
That I caught fire, just stay with me, lay with me
(Stay with me, lay with me, in your eyes)

I'll sleep till the sun burns out
I'm melting in your eyes (I'm melting, In your eyes)
I'll sleep till the sun burns out
I'm melting, In your eyes

Dashboard Confessional - Hands Down

Breathe in for luck, breathe in so deep
This air is blessed, you share with me
This night is wild, so calm and dull
These hearts they race from self control
Your legs are smooth as they graze mine
We're doing fine, we're doing nothing at all

My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me
So won't you kill me, so I die happy
My heart is yours to fill or burst, to break or bury
or wear as jewelery, which ever you prefer

The words are hushed let's not get busted
Just lay entwined here, undiscovered
Safe in here from all the stupid questions
"Hey did you get some?"... Man, that is so dumb
Stay quiet, stay near, stay close they can't hear
So we can get some

My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me
So won't you kill me, so I die happy
My heart is yours to fill or burst, to break or bury
or wear as jewelery, which ever you prefer

Hands down this is the best day I can ever remember
Always remember the sound of the stereo,
the dim of the soft lights,
the scent of your hair that you twirled in your fingers
And the time on the clock when we realized it's so late
And this walk that we shared together

The streets were wet and the gate was locked
so I jumped it, and let you in
And you stood at your door with your hands on my waist
and you kissed me like you meant it
And I knew that you meant it
that you meant it, that you meant it
I knew that you meant it, that you meant it

Lola · Dooney & Bourke

I want to be in the beginning stages of the "L" word with him for a long long time because these are some awesome songs! :) I gotta use em all!

This one is kinda lovey-dovey and may be too much for you...

The Ataris - I.O.U. One Galaxy

stars are out tonight
and you're the brightest one shining in my sky.
it's like every wish I ever made came true.
the day I woke up lying next to you.

will you be my best friend
if I offer you my heart?
'cause it's already yours.
we could hang out every night
and watch the sun go down.
as long as we could watch it rise again.

gave me a valentine.
it's these little things that stand the test of time.
I've saved the tickets from the shows that we've been to.
and a thousand other memories of you.

gave you this i.o.u. today.
it said good for one galaxy.
once I build my rocket to the stars.
we'll fly away just you and me.
