Lover

Post by Tiki Bar »

:lol: :lol: I wonder if I need to bring this up with my shrink... just typing the word lover makes me laugh!

Am I the only one? Does the rest of the country / world actually use the word "lover" in their vocabulary? :D :D

By conversation, I'm talking about spoken or written, but not singing along to the many lyrical "lover" 's that are out there, or reading and / or reciting poetry and whatnot! (But if it's lyrics or poetry you've written, that counts!)

And I'm asking about the word in the context of "lovers", not as in dog lover, cat lover, buffet lover, etc! :wink: :lol: (intentionally one 't')

Thanks for playing! :D

reminds me of an old ACDC song........

Little Lover

Saw you in the front row
Moving to the beat
(Just movin' and groovin')
Killed me when I saw
The wet patch on your seat
(Wasn't Coca Cola)
Oh baby
I hope you liked the show
When the band said good night
I had to say hello

CHORUS:
Little lover, I can't get you off my mind (no)
Little lover, I've been trying hard to find
Someone like you

Oh baby
You sure looked sweet
(Cruisin')
A leg either side
Of my motorcycle seat
(Just oozin')
Could have been a nightmare
Could have been a dream
But on my way home, baby
I thought I heard you scream

Little lover, I can't get you off my mind
Little Lover, I've been trying hard to find
someone to give me the things that I need, ow!

You had my picture
On your bedroom wall
(Next to Gary Glitter)
I was standing on the stage
Playing rock 'n' roll
(I was a guitar picker)
Never had a record
Never had a hit
Oh baby
You didn't mind a bit

CHORUS

Baby I know you're a -
Little lover





And yeah I use it in joking or flirting with the ladies at my job.
Like "hey lover" or "take care my serendipitous lover"

I've always felt there's no sense using a $10 word when a 5 cent word will do. :lol:

I had a different opinion in law school, especially when I was writing a paper. big words = more characters when you're typing = more pages :lol:

I love me some Paul Simon... :D

The problem is all inside your head, she said to me
The answer is easy if you take it logically
Id like to help you in your struggle to be free
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover

She said its really not my habit to intrude
Furthermore, I hope my meaning wont be lost or misconstrued
But Ill repeat myself at the risk of being crude
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
Fifty ways to leave your lover

Just slip out the back, jack
Make a new plan, stan
You dont need to be coy, roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, gus
You dont need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, lee
And get yourself free

What's worse, is I'm thinking maybe my problem is that I've never really loved any of my lovers, so it does not apply! :o :oops: :oops: :(

One of my girlfrieds from waayyyy back....Kimmy.

She met, dated and married the first man she fell in love with, in 1978....They are still married, with 2 grown children, and she still calls him "Lover" to this day....

To his face, and when talking about him....





Course she calls me "Puddin'". and her children "Bohicket" and "Pookie"...so what does she know? :wink:

More Paul Simon...

I met my old lover
On the street last night
She seemed so glad to see me
I just smiled
And we talked about some old times
And we drank ourselves some beers
Still crazy afler all these years
Oh, still crazy after all these years

How d'you do, I see you've met my faithful handyman
He's just a little brought down, because when you knocked
He thought you were the candyman....

Don't get strung out by the way that I look,
Don't judge a book by its cover
I'm not much of a man by the light of day,
But by night I'm one hell of a lover.....



Love this Soundtrack....
