Cutest quirky love song I''ve heard

[princesss]

Okay, I heard this song on Prairie Home Companion this weekend, and have been obsessed with it all week. I thought a lot of you ladies would like it, so I''m going to attach the lyrics. The song is really adorable, and the main background instrument is the main vocalist and a backup singer playing pattycake.

"Crayola Doesn''t Make A Colour to Draw Your Eyes"

I went to see the doctor. I’d come down with the blues.
She said that “I can’t cure you, but I here’s something you can do.
Take out a piece of paper, and go sit down for a while,
and draw a pretty picture of something that makes you smile.”

Well, I know what makes me happy. I didn’t have to think for long.
But when I tried to draw it, it always came out wrong.
I had a box of 12, 48 and 64,
But nowhere could I find that one shade I was looking for.
I guess I realized shoulda come as no surprise

Crayola doesn’t make a color for your eyes.
There is no way that I could possibly describe you.
Crayola doesn’t make a color to draw my love.

At first I thought of Green Blue, but then I saw Blue Green.
And then again in bright light, they look Aquamarine.
I think at night they’re darker. I looked again for you.
Saw Grey and Black and went out walkin’ after Midnight Blue
But the hues of the deepest skies would be a compromise…

Crayola doesn’t make a color for your eyes.
There is no way that I could possibly describe you.
Crayola doesn’t make a color to draw my love.

Spring Green is much too yellow, Sea Green is far too pale.
Cornflower’s way too mellow, so I’ll try again and fail.
There’s no way I can capture the way you make me feel.
One look from you is rapture, whether Blue or Green or Teal.
No color qualifies. That crayon’s telling lies…
Crayola doesn’t make a color…

Hey look, it’s Periwinkle. So sure I got it now.
But you wink and there’s a twinkle in your eye and still, somehow,
I just can’t get that sparkle. Those glitter crayons won’t.
Maybe Glow-In-The-Dark’ll get it right. Aw, no they don’t.
Mr. Crayola tries, but I’m left to fantasize…
Crayola doesn’t make a color…

For your eyes, something darker let’s see what I can find.
I melted mahogany and got the depth not the shine.
Just about gave up and then I peeled the paper off a little end of…
Really thought it coulda been… ahh, not even Burnt Sienna!
Your passport says they’re brown, but I’m gonna keep lookin’ round…

Crayola doesn’t make a color for your eyes.
There is no way that I could possibly describe you.
Crayola doesn’t make a color to draw my love.

Crayola doesn’t make a…

Crayola doesn’t make a color for your eyes.
There is no way that I could possibly describe you.
Crayola doesn’t make a color to draw my love.
No color to draw my love

Lions, Tigers & Bears - Jazmine Sullivan

I’m not scared of lions and tigers and bears (oh my)
But I’m scared of (loving you)
I’m not scared to perform at a sold out affair (that’s right)
But I’m scared of (loving you)
Am I the only one who thinks an impossible task?
Why it don’t last? Is that too much to ask?
Why do we love love, when love seems to hate us?



Sorry if I sound so filled with gloom
You say you care and I know you do
But this is from my experience
And my conclusion only makes sense
Just cause I love u and u love me,
It doesn’t mean that that we’re meant to be,
I can climb mountains, swim cross the seas,
But the most frightening thing is you and me!



I’m not scared of lions and tigers and bears (oh my)
But I’m scared of (loving you)
I’m not scared to perform at a sold out affair (that’s right)
But I’m scared of (loving you)
Am I the only one who thinks an impossible task?
Why it don’t last? Is that too much to ask?
Why do we love Love, when Love seems to hate us?



Most circumstances I know my fate
But in this love thing I don’t get the game
Why does it feel like those who give in,
They only wind up losing a friend?
Just cause I love u and u love me,
It doesn’t mean that we’ll ever be,
Fly cross the ocean, sing for the Queen,
But the most frightening thing is you and me!



I’m not scared of lions and tigers and bears (oh my)
But I’m scared of (loving you)
I’m not scared to perform at a sold out affair (that’s right)
But I’m scared of (loving you)
Am I the only one who thinks an impossible task?
Why it don’t last? Is that too much to ask?
Why do we love Love, when Love seems to hate us?



I’m not sure no, I’m not sure
But if we never try we’ll never know
It’s better to have loved than not to love at all
But trying is worst than to stumble and fall
And if what we do?
I’d rather it be with you
Cause at least there will be
Sweet memories



I’m not scared of lions and tigers and bears (oh my)
But I’m scared of (loving you)
I’m not scared to perform at a sold out affair (that’s right)
But I’m scared of (loving you)
Am I the only one who thinks an impossible task?
Why it don’t last? Is that too much to ask?
Why do we love love, when love seems to hate us?

I think Colbie C.''s "Oxygen" lyrics are perfect for us LIW!

Oxygen lyrics
I came apart inside a world made of angry people
I found a boy who had a dream
Making everyone smile
He was sunshine
I fell over my feet
Like bricks underwater
How am i supposed to tell you how i feel
I need oxygen
Oh baby if I was your lady
I will make you happy
Im Never gonna leave, never gonna leave
Oh baby i will be your lady
I am going crazy for you
And so i found a state of mind
Where i could be speechless
I had to try it for a while
To figure out this feeling
This felt so right
Pull me upside down to a place
Where you''ve been waiting
How am i supposed to tell you how i feel
I need oxygen
Oh baby if i was your lady
I will make you happy
Im never gonna leave,
Never gonna leave
Oh baby i will be your lady
I am going crazy for you
and You dont wanna keep me waiting i]
Staring at my fingers feeling like a fool
Oh baby i will be your lady
I will make you happy
Im never gonna leave,
Never gonna leave
Oh baby i will be your lady
I am going crazy, yeah-ohhhh
Tell me what you want,
Baby tell me what you need
Anything i ask baby give it to me
Baby give it to me, give it to me

repeat first verse
