What makes me smile?

Okay so it was really hard for me to pick a song that i love and that makes me smile, so i picked 4 but even that was hard. the first song i picked is Perfectly Lonely by John Mayer, i have NEVER ever been a big John Mayer fan but his new album is really fantastic. I like this song because i feel like in society today there is alot of pressure put on people to find and be in relationships, but this song says that you can be happy alone.


Had a little love, but I spread it thin
Falling in her arms and out again
Made a bad name for my game around town
Tore up my heart, and shut it down

Nothing to do
Nowhere to be
A simple little kind of free
Nothing to do
No one but me
And that's all I need

I'm perfectly lonely
I'm perfectly lonely
I'm perfectly lonely (Yeah)
'Cause I don't belong to anyone
Nobody belongs to me

I see friends around from time to time
When their ladies let them slip away
And when they ask me how I'm doing with mine
This is always what I say

Nothing to do
Nowhere to be
A simple little kind of free
Nothing to do
No one to be
Is it really hard to see

Why I'm perfectly lonely
I'm perfectly lonely
I'm perfectly lonely
I'm perfectly lonely (Yeah)
'Cause I don't belong to anyone
Nobody belongs to me

And this is not to say
There never comes a day
I'll take my chances and start again
And when I look behind
On all my younger times
I have to thank the wrongs that led me to a love so strong

I'm perfectly lonely
I'm perfectly lonely
I'm perfectly lonely (Yeah)
'Cause I don't belong to anyone
Nobody belongs to me

(It's the way, it's the way, it's the way that I want it)

My second song is called Waving Flag by Knaan. Knaan opened for Jason Mraz at the concert i saw in august. all of his songs were pretty good but this one struck a chord with me. It makes me feel strong and never fails to make me smile.


when i get older i will be
stronger they'll call me freedom just
like a wavin flag

when i get older i will be
stronger they'll call me freedom just
like a waving flag
and then it goes back (3x)
ahhho ahhho ahhho

born to a throne
stronger than rome
but violent prone
poor people zone
but its my home
all i have known
where i got grown
streets we would roam

out of the darkness
i came the farthest
among the hardest survive
learn form these streets
it can be bleak
accept no defeet
surrender retreat
(so we struggling)
fighting to eat
(and we wondering)
when we will be free
so we patiently wait
for that faithful day
its not far away
but for now we say

when i get older i will be
stronger they'll call me freedom just
like a waving flag
and then it goes back (3x)

ahhho ahhho ahhho

so many wars
settling scores
bring us promises
leaving us poor
i heard them say
love is the way
love is the answer
thats what they say

but look how they treat us
make us believers
we fight there battes
then they deceive us
try to control us
they couldn't hold us

cause we just move forward
like buffalo soldiers
(but we strugglin)
fighting to eat
(and we wonderingg)
when we will be free
so we patiently wait
for that faithfully day
its not far away
but for now we say

when i get older i will be
stronger they'll call me freedom just
like a waving flag
and then it goes back (3x)

and then it goes when i get older i will be
stronger they'll call me freedom just
like a wavin flag
and then it goes back (3x)
ahhhooo ahhhoooo ahhhooo

and everybody will be singing it
and you and i will be singing it
and we all will be singing it
wo wah wo ah wo ah

when i get older i will be
stronger they'll call me freedom just
like a wavin flag
and then it goes back (3x)

and then it goes when i get older i will be
stronger they'll call me freedom just
like a wavin flag
and then it goes back (3x)
a oh a oh a oh

when i get older
when i get older
i will be stronger

just like a wavin flag (3x)
flag flag
just like a wavin flag

The third song is called You Got Me by Colbie Calliat. I dont really have a reason for loving this song.



You're stuck on me and my laughing eyes
I cant pretend though I try to hide
I like you. I like you.

I think I felt my heart skip a beat
I'm standing here and I can hardly breathe
You got me. Yeah, you got me.

The way you take my hand is just so sweet
And that crooked smile of yours
it knocks me off my feet

Oh, I just cant get enough
How much do I need to fill me up?
It feels so good it must be love
Its everything that Ive been dreaming of.
I give up. I give in. I let go.
Lets begin.
Cuz no matter what i do,
Oh (oh)
My heart is filled with you.

I cant imagine what it'd be like
Livin each day in this life
Without you. Without you.
One look from you
I know you understand
This mess we're in you know is just so out of hand.

Oh, I just cant get enough
How much do I need to fill me up?
It feels so good it must be love
Its everything that Ive been dreaming of.
I give up. I give in. I let go.
Lets begin.
Cuz no matter what i do,
Oh (oh)
My heart is filled with you.

I hope we always feel this way
(I know we will)
And in my heart I know youll always stay

Oh, I just cant get enough
How much do I need to fill me up?
It feels so good it must be love
I give up. I give in. I let go. Lets begin.
Cuz no matter what I do,

Oh, I just cant get enough
How much do I need to fill me up?
It feels so good it must be love
(Its everything that I've been dreaming of)
I give up. I give in. I let go.
Lets begin.

Cuz no matter what I do,
Oh (oh)
My heart is filled with you.

Oh (oh)
You got me. You got me.
Oh (oh)
You got me. You got me.

Okay DONT LAUGH AT ME. but my last song is a Justin Bieber song. I know i know, but i just cant help it. Something about this kids sugar sweet voice and equally sweet lyrics just get to me. I might be Justin Biebers only 18 year old fan. oh well. This song is called U Smile. Just give it a listen. you might like what you hear.



Oh
Yeah
Mmmm

I'd wait on you forever and a day
Hand and foot
Your world is my world
Yeah
Ain't no way you're ever gon' get
Any less than you should
Cause baby
You smile I smile (oh)
Cause whenever
You smile I smile
Hey hey hey

Your lips, my biggest weakness
Shouldn't have let you know
I'm always gonna do what they say (hey)
If you need me
I'll come right there
From a thousand miles away
When you smile I smile (oh whoa)
You smile I smile
Hey

Baby take my open heart and all it offers
Cause this is as unconditional as it'll ever get
You ain't seen nothing yet
I won't ever hesitate to give you more
Cause baby (hey)
You smile I smile (whoa)
You smile I smile
Hey hey hey
You smile I smile
I smile I smile I smile
You smile I smile
Make me smile baby

Baby you won't ever work for nothing
You are my ins and my means now
With you there's no in between
I'm all in
Cause my cards are on the table
And I'm willing and I'm able
But I fold to your wish
Cause it's my command
Hey hey hey

You smile I smile (whoa)
You smile I smile
Hey hey hey
You smile I smile
I smile I smile I smile
You smile I smile
Oh

You smile I smile

You smile I smile

Enjoy.
With Love,
