 Stripped...
 I think Christina Aguilera's new CD has a lot of grammy potential. It's not a manufactured pop- teenybopper sales engine as i had projected it would be. It has real soul, and genuine emotion.....its just such a tragedy that such a real  album is getting such a bad rep. because her new image so unequivocally doesn't comply with the lyric lament she expresses for social conformity regarding beauty. But wow....she's got soul. I am very much impressed.
 
 Some lyrics of hers that call for my appraise? Here you go. =) Your Welcome.
 
 Stripped
 "... sorry you cant define me, sorry i break the mold, sorry that i speak my mind, sorry i dont do what im told. Sorry if i dont fake it, sorry i come too real, i will never hide what i really feel..... so here it is, no hype, no glass, no pretense.....just me, stripped."
 
 Beautiful
 "... No matter what we do, no matter what we say
 We're the song inside the tune, full of beautiful mistakes
 And everywhere we go, the sun will always shine,
 And tomorrow we migh awake on the other side..."
 
 Walk Away
 i was naive, your love was like candy.
 Artificially sweet, i was deceived by the wrapping.
 Got caught in your web and i learned how to bleed,
 i was prey in your bed and was devoured completely.
 
 And it hurts my soul cause i can't let go all these walls are cavin in
 I can't stop my sufferin
 I hate to show that i've lost control 'cause i
 i keep going right back to the one thing that i need...
 to walk away from.
 
 I need to get away from ya, need to walk away from ya
 Get away,walk away, walk away...
 
 I should have known that i was used for amusement
 Couldnt see through the smoke, it was all an illusion
 Now i've been lickin my wounds, but the venom seeps deeper
 We both can seduce but darlin' you hold me prisoner...
 
 Oh, i'm about to break, i can't stop this ache.
 I'm addicted to your allure, and i'm fiendin for a cure.
 Every step i take leads to one mistake.
 I keep goin right back to the one thing that i need
 I'm about to break, and i cant stop this ache, getting nothing in return
 What did i do to deserve the pain of this slow burn
 ANd everywhere i turn i keep goin right back to the one thing that i need....
 to walk away from.
 
 Every time i try to grasp for air, i am smothered in despair, its never over, over....
 Seems i'll never wake from this nightmare, i let out a silent prayer...
 Let it be over, over.
 
 Now what to do, my heart has been bruised, so sad but its true...
 Each beat reminds me of you...
 
 Lovin Me 4 Me
 Now people ask why i'm in love with you
 Well, let me start by sayin you got my heart by just being who you are
 And what we got is between me and you
 Doesnt matter bout the money i make or what i do, or that i'm a star.
 
 Unconditionally youre thre for me,
 Undeniably you inspire me, spiritually, so sweet
 This is meaningful, its incredible, pleasurable, unforgettable
 The way i feel, so sweet, makes me wanna say
 
 Its so amazing how something so sweet has come and rearranged my life
 Ive been kissed by destiny, oh heaven came and saved me
 An angel was placed at my feet, this isnt ordinary
 He's loving me for me....
 
 Stripped of all make-up
 No need for fancy clothes
 No cover ups,push ups
 With him, I dont have to put on a show.
 He loves every freckle, every curve
 Every inch of my skin
 Fulfilling me entirely
 Taking all of me in.
 He's real
 He's honest
 He's lovin me for me.....
 
 Underappreciated
 I remember when it all first began, we were tight right from the start.
 It wasn't long before you came on strong, trying hard to win my heart
 I played hard to get but i couldn't help but give up my heart in the end.
 You were thoughtful, careful not to hurt the relationship
 
 What happened to those days when you used to be compassionate?
 Caring what i thought and said, so attentive, a gentleman.
 Now its hard to turn your head away from the TV set
 Taking me for granted lately, and frankly its gotta quit.
 
 I feel underappreciated, underappreciated for all the time and effort i have put in this commitment.
 
 Lets take it back again to the very beginning
 when our love was something new
 Back when romance was important not just another thing to do.
 I was feeling high on loves delight, thought i'd never come back down
 Now it seems that you and me have lost our solid ground.
 
 After time i realized i seem to give more than i get
 Funny how things seem to change after a few years commitment
 Used to talk for hours on end of our dreams while we lay in bed
 I miss those days when you stayed awake,
 now you just roll over and snore instead.
 
 I miss the nice massages
 The long phone calls and the
 way you talked how it'd turn me on.
 Miss the bubble baths, had the sweetest laughs,
 I'm needin those days back...
 
 Keep on Singin my song
 "...i never wanna dwell on the pain again, there's no use in relivin' how i hurt back then.
 Remembering too well the hell i felt when i was running out of faith.
 Every step i'm about to take is towards a better day
 Cause i'm about to....
 Say farewell to every single lie and all the fears i've held too long inside
 Every time i felt i couldnt try, all the negativity and strife
 
 Cause too long i've been strugglin, couldnt go on
 But now i've found i'm feelin strong, and i'm movin on..."
 
 Ok, so i wrote a lot...and even that i really had to pick and choose. This album is really good. Dont sleep on it. =) It has a lotta soul. Ok BYE !

 An Ode To my Fortune Cookie Say
 I have a special friend named Peter
 and to me there is no sweeter =)
 He is smart and oh so kind,
 and boy does he have a nice behind !
 but i will not squeeze it, i have to say
 because if i do, i shall dearly pay.
 He is oh so funny, said if i squeeze,
 i shall have to pay a fee !
 He comforts me when i'm in pain,
 and life is nothing but lots of rain.
 He delights to see me happy,
 even if i'm looking nappy !
 He tells me stories that make me giggle,
 and to music he likes to wiggle !
 He loves to eat, and grub with me,
 and he really loves sushi !
 That is how i became his sushi slut
 and now i have a really big butt.
 Lately i've been feeling like a cow,
 but he makes me feel beautiful, i dont know how.
 This rhyming thing is really fun
 with words i cleverly pun
 I hope you like my ode to fortune cookie,
 and i cant rhyme with cookie.
 What can you rhyme with cookie?
 boy i am really stuck on cookie.
 i just created an AAAA rhyme scheme,
 and for that, i am so keen.
 Fortune cookie, what does that mean?
 its my oh so wise friend, the aphorism machine.
 I think i shall end my lyric here.
 but part two is coming, HAVe FEaR !!
 
 hehehe....Thank you, Thank you !!
 *i love you peter !!! i feel so special that you actually follow my blogg...and hence my ODE ! hehe....buhbye ! *
