Well you stole my heart
And I'll get it back.
But look me in the eye, babe.
Tell me why you love me like that.
Why you love me like that.
Well I've walked this world
Five times or more.
And after all this walking, babe
Still got me crawlin' on the floor.
Crawlin' on the floor.
And I know
This world keeps on turning.
Keeps me yearning.
(Chorus)
How can you turn and walk away?
Pretending everything's okay.
How can you turn your back?
Tell me why you love me like that.
Why you love me like that.
Well I thought you listened,
But I'm shattered like broken glass.
Well I thought that we'd be different, babe.
Yeah I thought that we would last.
I thought that we would last.
And I know
This world keeps on spinnin'.
Every minute that you're in it.
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
Love me or leave me, baby
But don't lead me on.
With lovin' like yours,
Believe me baby, I'm better off
I'm better off alone.
Well I was your gypsy
Throwin' diamonds at your feet.
Driftin' round you like a satellite
I gave you everything you need.
Everything you need.
And I know
This world keeps on turning.
Keeps me yearning and yearning.
(Chorus)
How could you just break away?
Why can't you find the words to say?
Love is something you work at.
Tell me why you love me like that.
Why you love me like that.
Why you love me like that.
How can you throw us away
Look at what you lost and
Now everything is shades of grey
And now you're pushin' me away
Say all the things you need to say
I thought we were goin' all the way
Play all the games you wanna play
Slowly that we just fade away.
And I'll get it back.
But look me in the eye, babe.
Tell me why you love me like that.
Why you love me like that.
Well I've walked this world
Five times or more.
And after all this walking, babe
Still got me crawlin' on the floor.
Crawlin' on the floor.
And I know
This world keeps on turning.
Keeps me yearning.
(Chorus)
How can you turn and walk away?
Pretending everything's okay.
How can you turn your back?
Tell me why you love me like that.
Why you love me like that.
Well I thought you listened,
But I'm shattered like broken glass.
Well I thought that we'd be different, babe.
Yeah I thought that we would last.
I thought that we would last.
And I know
This world keeps on spinnin'.
Every minute that you're in it.

Everything you need.

Play all the games you wanna play
Slowly that we just fade away.

aah michelle branch... she was always one i disliked... but i'm starting to like her a bit more these days.
this certainly gets an 7ish..
Doesn't entirely suck. I fear a flavor-of-the-week effect for this performer, but for now, this doesn't suck.
Wow, what crap! I have radioparadise on low in my office and the really good stuff jumps out at me, but this is the first time a song jumped out at me yelling "I'm MOR crap"
None of us bat 1.000, though Bill does come close.

Only if this is picked as her next single, because they're only beating another song from this album to death right now. The way I look at it is, RP can not only expose artists that get no play on corporate radio, but also lesser-known songs by artists that do get corporate airplay. Pop does not equal bad automatically.
This is a pretty good song! Not bad for Michelle Branch
I liked her first album. I may like her second one based on this song. Anyone got a problem with that?
Same old drivel that made me stop listening to the radio and tune into Radio Paradise. This is the same as every other female pop star out there today. If this would have come out about 10-15 years ago, I'd call it new and refreshing, but for today, it's just normal.
Another example of an artist who has a LOT of talent but the record company makes her release crappy pop songs as singles. This is a really great tune.

A little popish, but they harmonize well together well.
I missed this song, but I don't mind that Michelle Branch is a pop tart, I like her. She made me bawl with that beautiful rendition of Goodbye To You on Buffy a couple years back, and I've loved her ever since. As long as we avoid the more blatant radio songs, I say MORE MICHELLE (And somebody find a good copy of that live on Buffy version to upload).
