Worst Lyrics

[riddle350]

So I thought it would funny if we all posted the lyrics to a song that we think is absolutely horrible. My pick is for LL Cool J's "I Need Love". I laugh so hard everytime I hear this song. Hands down the worst lyrics ever.

"I Need Love"

When I'm alone in my room sometimes I stare at the wall

and in the back of my mind I hear my conscience call

Telling me I need a girl who's as sweet as a dove

for the first time in my life, I see I need love

There I was giggling about the games

that I had played with many hearts, and I'm not saying no names

Then the thought occured, tear drops made my eyes burn

as I said to myself look what you've done to her

I can feel it inside, I can't explain how it feels

all I know is that I'll never dish another raw deal

Playing make believe pretending that I'm true

holding in my laugh as I say that I love you

Saying amor kissing you on the ear

whispering I love you and I'll always be here

Although I often reminsce I can't believe that I found

a desire for true love floating around

Inside my soul because my soul is cold

one half of me deserves to be this way till I'm old

But the other half needs affection and joy

and the warmth that is created by a girl and a boy

I need love

I need love

Romance sheer delight how sweet

I gotta find me a girl to make my life complete

You can scratch my back, we'll get cozy and huddle

I'll lay down my jacket so you can walk over a puddle

I'll give you a rose, pull out your chair before we eat

kiss you on the cheek and say ooh girl you're so sweet

It's deja vu whenever I'm with you

I could go on forever telling you what I do

But where you at you're neither here or there

I swear I can't find you anywhere

Damn sure you ain't in my closet, or under my rug

this love search is really making me bug

And if you know who you are why don't you make yourself seen

take the chance with my love and you'll find out what I mean

Fantasy's can run but they can't hide

and when I find you I'm gon' pour all my love inside

I need love

I need love

I wanna kiss you hold you never scold you just love you

suck on you neck, caress you and rub you

Grind moan and never be alone

if you're not standing next to me you're on the phone

Can't you hear it in my voice, I need love bad

I've got money but love's something I've never had

I need your ruby red lips sweet face and all

I love you more than a man who's 10 feet tall

I'd watch the sunrise in your eyes

we're so in love when we hug we become paralyzed

Our bodies explode in ecstasy unreal

you're as soft as a pillow and I'm as hard as steel

It's like a dream land, I can't lie I never been there

maybe this is an experience that me and you can share

Clean and unsoiled yet sweaty and wet

I swear to you this is something that I'll never forget

I need love

I need love

See what I mean I've changed I'm no longer

a play boy on the run I need something that's stronger

Friendship, trust honor respect admiration

this whole experience has been such a revelation

It's taught me love and how to be a real man

to always be considerate and do all I can

Protect you you're my lady and you mean so much

my body tingles all over from the slightest touch

Of your hand and understand I'll be frozen in time

till we meet face to face and you tell me you're mine

If I find you girl I swear I'll be a good man

I'm not gonna leave it in destiny's hands

I can't sit and wait for my princess to arrive

I gotta struggle and fight to keep my dream alive

I'll search the whole world for that special girl

when I finally find you watch our love unfurl

I need love

I need love

Girl, listen to me

When I be sittin in my room all alone, staring at the wall

fantasies, they go through my mind

And I've come to realize that I need true love

and if you wanna give it to me girl make yourself seen

I'll be waiting

I love you

thats why ladies love cool james

Did you ever hear Necro's version of this -- "I Need Drugs"?

If not, I advise you download it ASAP. It'll give you a whole new respect for the song. Here are the lyrics (to the tune of "I Need Love"

When I come home from work

I'm fiendin' for an eight-ball

I got crack on my mind

I'm hearing cocaine call

Telling me to beep the dealer to deliver me stuff

Keep it a secret from my wife, cuz she thinks I don't use

drugs

There I was, bleeding from my nose and damn

I couldn't breathe, but I'm still thinking about the next

gram

It's Friday night and I'm not trying to leave my crib doped

I'll kill myself while the dealer's eating Japanese food

I ain't got no pride, While buying the shit

I'm lying to myself telling the runner I'm trying to quit

It's all make believe, I pretend that I'm true

When you give me credit, I'll dodge you every chance that I

get to

Even if its good, I'll sniff it up in a minute

Beep you back and complain that you put too much cut in it

If you fall for that and bring me a new sack

I'll be making more crazy faces than a JIM CAREY on crack

Cuz yo I'm ripped, I owe you loot

Plus I annoy you

I deserve to be murdered, but the coke is doing it for you

I got nerve, can you put them pills on my bill

Yo I tell you we're friends and yo we don't even chill

I need drugs

I need drugs

Baking soda, cocaine, how sweet

I need to find me a crack pipe and I'm complete

I got these crack dealers chasing me through the cement

jungle

Cuz they gave me shit to sell and yo I smoked the whole

bundle

Yo I can't front - I got dope in my spleen

And I'm telling everyone at this N.A. meeting I'm thirty

days

clean

I won't die even with tuberculosis

I could go on forever mixing dope with my methadone dosage

You could find me at Brighton Beach or Coney Island

Or Rikers Island

My crack pipe's my violin

I play along to the police siren

My eyes squint looking for crack on the floor

picking up breadcrumbs and lint

I don't know who I am, ask me I couldn't say

I took a chance and tried to get clean and it lasted one day

Tried to go to rehab too but couldn't get admitted

And if money's missing from your pocketbook you know

who did it

I need drugs

I need drugs

As a young teen I started with marijuana

Then graduated to coke cuz I needed something stronger

Mescaline, dust, downers, injections sensation

I love to experience a patient's medication

I smoked the drugs off the back of my hands

All I need is a hit of it and I'll create a new dance

Protect yourself, baby cover yourself up

My body swings all over once my seizure erupts

Into a frenzy, on the phone I got thirty sack

But when we meet face-to-face, I got ten dollars less

Made up my mind, I'm quittin' I'm swearing in tears

I'm not gonna get high, I'll only drink beers

Can't sit and wait for my dealer to come provide it

Gotta party to go to and I'm the only one invited

I'll search the whole house for the damn white mouse

And when I finally find it, I'll sniff the whole ounce

I need drugs

I need drugs

(Spoken)

Dealer, listen to me

When I come home from work

Fiendin' for an eight-ball

Nose candy on my mind

I've come to realize, you need me

And if you want me to keep coppin'

Give me a free piece

It's my birthday

Yesterday

Anyway

I'm gonna go sniff this

I'll beep you in an hour

I hate you

[riddle350]

God that is horrible.

[Guest falloutcollapse]

worst lyrics ever? probably R. Kelly's Trapped in the Closet 1-12.

[skumbucket]

anything by panic! at the disco...

[benchwarmer]

anything by panic! at the disco...

I read that really fast and thought you typed "Picnic! at the disco"

that would so be a better name

[bicyclepirate]

I love these lyrics, this is Rush-the Trees off their Hemispheres album

There is unrest in the forest

There is trouble with the trees

For the maples want more sunlight

And the oaks ignore their pleas

The trouble with the maples

(And they're quite convinced they're right)

They say the oaks are just too lofty

And they grab up all the light

But the oaks can't help their feelings

If they like the way they're made

And they wonder why the maples

Can't be happy in their shade

There is trouble in the forest

And the creatures all have fled

As the maples scream 'Oppression!'

And the oaks just shake their heads

So the maples formed a union

And demanded equal rights

'The oaks are just too greedy

We will make them give us light'

Now there's no more oak oppression

For they passed a noble law

And the trees are all kept equal

By hatchet, axe and saw

[Guest scriptedrain]

Me and a couple friends were going to buy some cheap, kiddie instruments from Wal-Mart and form "Panic! At the Daycare" last summer. Nothing ever came from it, but maybe someday lol

icicles by punchline I on the santas cause comp)

i got as far as:

"Frostbite

You are an icicle (you are an icicle, warmth of the season can't melt)

You are an icicle (you are an icicle, coldest that I've ever felt)"

I've always liked Punchline but I've got to admit that they almost always have really bad lyrics.

How has there been no Nickelback posted in here yet?

I'm through with standin' in line

to clubs I'll never get in

It's like the bottom of the ninth

and I'm never gonna win

this life hasn't turned out

quite the way I want it to be

(Tell me what you want)

I want a brand new house

on an episode of Cribs

And a bathroom I can play baseball in

And a king size tub big enough

for ten plus me

--(Yea, So what you need)--

I need a credit card that's got no limit

And a big black jet with a bedroom in it

Gonna join the mile high club

At thirty-seven thousand feet

--(Been there done that)--

I want a new tour bus full of old guitars

My own star on Hollywood Boulevard

Somewhere between Cher and

James Dean is fine for me

(So how you gonna do it?)

I'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fame

I'd even cut my hair and change my name

[CHORUS]

'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars and

Live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars

The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap

We'll all stay skinny as we just won't eat

And we'll hang out in the coolest bars

in the VIP with the movie stars

Every good gold digger's

Gonna wind up there

Every Playboy bunny

With her bleach blonde hair

And well...

Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar

Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar

I wanna be great like Elvis without the tassels

Hire eight body guards that love to beat up assholes

Sign a couple autographs

So I can eat my meals for free

--(I'll have the quesadilla, ha-ha,)--

I'm gonna dress my ass

with the latest fashion

Get a front door key to the Playboy mansion

[Rockstar lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]

Gonna date a centerfold that loves to

blow my money for me

(So how you gonna do it?)

I'm gonna trade this life

For fortune and fame

I'd even cut my hair

And change my name

'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars and

Live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars

The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap

We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat

And we'll hang out in the coolest bars

in the VIP with the movie stars

Every good gold digger's

Gonna wind up there

Every Playboy bunny

With her bleach blonde hair

And we'll hide out in the private rooms

With the latest dictionary of

today's who's who

They'll get you anything

with that evil smile

Everybody's got a

drug dealer on speed dial, well

Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar

I'm gonna sing those songs

That offend the censors

Gonna pop my pills

from a Pez dispenser

Get washed-up singers writing all my songs

Lip --sync-- 'em every night so I don't get 'em wrong

Well we all just wanna be big rockstars

And live in Hilltop houses driving fifteen cars

The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap

We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat

And we'll hang out in the coolest bars

in the VIP with the movie stars

Every good gold digger's

Gonna wind up there

Every Playboy bunny

With her bleach blond hair

And we'll hide out in the private rooms

With the latest dictionary of

today's who's who

They'll get you anything

with that evil smile

Everybody's got a

drug dealer on speed dial,well

Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar

Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar

Bloody hell, Scott. Just why?

[riddle350]

Thank you Scott my eyes are now bleeding.

[destroyingthescene]

At least you don't live in the hometown of Nickleback. Fuck, it blows my mind that people actually listen to them on their own time. I mean I get why they're on the radio with their Hell's Angels connections and all, but seriously, is there nothing better out there?

Oh yes there is: Hinder.

[skumbucket]

you americans have no idea how bad it is for us. by law, 35% of all music played on canadian radio has to be canadian artists. or fill two of the four following criteria: artist is canadian, canadians wrote the lyrics, the music was written by canadians, or it was produced by canadians. but commercial radio doesn't want to take chances on new artists, so they just play the same bad canadian music over and over and over again. the company i work for has three stations in my city, all housed out of the same building. they usually put the music stations on over the building PA and when it's on our rock station i usually hear nickleback literally ten times a day during the course of an eight hour shift. and that's just when i'm walking the hallways; we don't hear it from the newsroom.

every time i heard that rockstar song i really want to punch or general manager, music directors, and dj's in the face.

[steventangent]

or that song about the wife beater or whatever. how banal!

[faith]

its not like that in Montreal, skumbucket

I don't see why that law is a bad thing... shouldn't Canada be interested in promoting its own cultural/music/art industry and supporting its own artists?

Canada is interested in promoting its own product, I'm sure, but shouldn't people be interested in music / art / etc. because of what it is and not where it comes from? I can see what you're saying but I also think that it's a bit excessive to form a law around it.

I see your point, but I think it's cool of an English-speaking country so close to the U.S. make sure that their own culture is played on the radio, too, instead of just becoming "America Junior" in terms of what popular music gets played on the radio/TV. If it weren't for that law, you probably wouldn't see bands like Billy Talent or Alexisonfire achieve the success they have in Canada (which in turn lets them garner more respect in other countries), and you DEFINITELY wouldn't have seen Fucked Up playing live on MTV.

[skumbucket]

now don't get me wrong folks -- the canadian content regulations are absolutely necessary and allow for a lot of great things to happen. but the fact of the matter is that for every alexisonfire that gets some success, there are thousands upon thousands of spins on commercial radio/muchmusic of the same old canadian artists like our lady peace, default, nickleback, tragically hip, etc. it's supposed to promote variety and canadian culture but in the majority of the country (montreal, vancouver aside) it really creats a sameness on radio. that's why our campus and community radio stations are so vital, because people (like myself) play canadian music that goes beyond the same old retread artists.

It would be if it was a level playing field, but movies/music/pop culture from the US is so dominant in many parts of the world, that without some sort of legal protection or government promotion of art within the national territory, Canadian artists might never have the chance to break out of a very small scene, since most people wouldn't even be aware of local "art." I obviously don't know the specifics of the Canadian situation, in the abstract, it seems worthwhile to me.

Venezuela passed a law similar to this in the last couple years because (from what I heard from Venezuelans) the radio was totally dominated by foreign music. Now, the government is promoting previously marginalized Venezuelan artists to fill the mandatory quotas on the radio, and other mediums.

[skumbucket]

i read a great article in a free monthly music publication here in canada that profiled a least a dozen indie bands/artists that couldn't get the time of day from canadian labels and music fans...but signed contracts with the bigger indies in the UK and have burgeoning careers over there. and that's happening despite the canadian content laws because music directors don't use that guideline as encouragement to seek new product outside of a very limited scope of the mainstream.
