Happy 50th Birthday Courtney Love: Iconic Blondes Playlist

Oh, make me over
I'm all I wanna be
A walking study
In demonology

Hey, so glad you could make it
Yeah, now you really made it
Hey, so glad you could make it now

Oh, look at my face
My name is might have been
My name is never was
My name's forgotten

Hey, so glad you could make it
Yeah, now you really made it
Hey, there's only us left now

When I wake up in my makeup
It's too early for that dress
Wilted and faded
Somewhere in Hollywood
I'm glad I came here with your pound of flesh

No second billing 'cause you're a star now
Oh, Cinderella, they aren't sluts like you
Beautiful garbage, beautiful dresses
Can you stand up or will you just fall down?

You better watch out
For what you wish for
It better be worth it
So much to die for

Hey, so glad you could make it
Yeah, now you really made it
Hey, there's only us left now

When I wake up in my makeup
Have you ever felt so used up as this?
It's all so sugarless
Hooker, waitress, model, actress
Oh, just go nameless

Honeysuckle, she's full of poison
She obliterated everything she kissed
Now she's fading somewhere in Hollywood
I'm glad I came here with your pound of flesh

You want a part of me

Ow!

It feels like a perfect night
To dress up like hipsters
And make fun of our exes
Ah-ah, ah-ah
It feels like a perfect night
For breakfast at midnight
To fall in love with strangers
Ah-ah, ah-ah

Yeah, we're happy, free, confused and lonely at the same time
It's miserable and magical, oh yeah
Tonight's the night when we forget about the deadlines
It's time, oh-oh

I don't know about you
But I'm feeling 22
Everything will be alright if
You keep me next to you

You don't know about me
But I'll bet you want to
Everything will be alright if
We just keep dancing like we're 22, 22

It seems like one of those nights
This place is too crowded
Too many cool kids
(Who's Taylor Swift anyway? Ew) Ah-ah, ah-ah
It seems like one of those nights
We ditch the whole scene
And end up dreamin' instead of sleeping, yeah

We're happy, free, confused and lonely in the best way
It's miserable and magical, oh yeah
Tonight's the night when we forget about the heartbreaks
It's time, oh-oh

I don't know about you
But I'm feeling 22
Everything will be alright if
You keep me next to you

You don't know about me
But I'll bet you want to
Everything will be alright if
We just keep dancing like we're 22 (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
22
I don't know about you
22, 22

It feels like one of those nights
We ditch the whole scene
It feels like one of those nights
We won't be sleeping
It feels like one of those nights
You look like bad news
I gotta have you
I gotta have you
Ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah

I don't know about you
But I'm feeling 22
Everything will be alright if (Ooh)
You keep me next to you
You don't know about me
But I'll bet you want to
Everything will be alright if
We just keep dancing like we're 22

22 (Dancing like)
22 (Yeah, yeah)
22 (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

It feels like one of those nights
We ditch the whole scene
It feels like one of those nights
We won't be sleeping
It feels like one of those nights
You look like bad news
I gotta have you
I gotta have you

I'm gonna marry the night
I won't give up on my life
I'm a warrior queen
Live passionately tonight

I'm gonna marry the dark
Gonna make love to the stark
I'm a soldier to my own emptiness
I'm a winner

I'm gonna marry the night
I'm gonna marry the night
I'm gonna marry the night

I'm gonna marry the night
I'm not gonna cry anymore
I'm gonna marry the night
Leave nothing on these streets to explore

Ma-ma-ma-marry, ma-ma-ma-marry
Ma-ma-ma-marry the night
Oh, ma-ma-marry, ma-ma-ma-marry
Ma-ma-ma-marry the night

I'm gonna lace up my boots
Throw on some leather and cruise
Down the street that I love
In my fishnet gloves, I'm a sinner

Then I'll go down to the bar
But I won't cry anymore
I'll hold my whiskey up high
Kiss the bartender twice, I'm a loser

I'm gonna marry the night
I'm gonna marry the night

I'm gonna marry the night
I'm not gonna cry anymore
I'm gonna marry the night
Leave nothing on these streets to explore

Ma-ma-ma-marry, ma-ma-ma-marry
Ma-ma-ma-marry the night
Oh, ma-ma-marry, ma-ma-ma-marry
Ma-ma-ma-marry the night

Nothing's too cool to take me from you
New York is not just a tan that you'll never lose
Love is the new denim or black
Skeleton guns are wedding bells in the attic
Get Ginger ready, climb to El Camino front
Won't poke holes in the seats with my heels
'Cause that's where we make love
Come on and run
Turn the car on and run

I'm gonna marry the night
I'm gonna burn a hole in the road
I'm gonna marry the night
Leave nothing on these streets to explore

Ma-ma-ma-marry, ma-ma-ma-marry
Ma-ma-ma-marry the night
Oh, ma-ma-marry, ma-ma-ma-marry
Ma-ma-ma-marry the night
Oh, ma-ma-marry, ma-ma-ma-marry
Ma-ma-ma-marry the night

I'm gonna marry, marry
I'm gonna marry, marry
Come on, come on
The night, the night, the night (I'm gonna)
The night, the night, the night (I'm gonna)
The night, the night, the night
The night, the night, the night
The night, the night, the night

Sweet love yeah
I didn't mean it when I said I didn't love you so
I should have held on tight, I never should have let you go
I didn't know nothing I was stupid
I was foolish, I was lying to myself

I couldn't have fathomed I would ever be without your love
Never imagined I'd be sitting here beside myself
'Cause I didn't know you, 'cause I didn't know me
But I thought I knew everything I never felt

The feeling that I'm feeling now that I don't hear your voice
Or have your touch and kiss your lips
'Cause I don't have a choice
Or what I wouldn't give to have you lying by my side
Right here
'Cause baby

When you left I lost a part of me
It's still so hard to believe
Come back baby please
'Cause we belong together

Who else am I gon' lean on when times get rough?
Who's going to talk to me on
The phone 'til the sun comes up?
Who's going to take your place?
There ain't nobody better
Oh, baby baby, we belong together

I can't sleep at night, when you're on my mind
Bobby Womack's on the radio
Saying to me, "If you think you're lonely now"
Wait a minute this is too deep (too deep)
I gotta change the station

So I turn the dial trying to catch a break
And then I hear Babyface
I only think of you
And it's breaking my heart
I'm trying to keep it together but I'm falling apart

I'm feeling all out of my element
Throwing things crying trying to figure out
Where the hell I went wrong
Pain reflected in this song
Ain't even half of what I'm feeling inside
I need you need you back in my life baby

When you left I lost a part of me
It's still so hard to believe
Come back baby please
'Cause we belong together

Who else am I gon' lean on when times get rough?
Who's going to talk to me on the phone 'til the sun comes up?
Who's going to take your place?
There ain't nobody better
Oh, baby baby, we belong together, baby

When you left I lost a part of me
It's still so hard to believe
Come back baby please
'Cause we belong together
Who am I gon' lean on when times get rough?

Who's going to talk to me on the phone 'til the sun comes up?
Who's going to take your place?
There ain't nobody better
Oh, baby baby, we belong together

What are you looking at?

Here we are
And I can't think from all the pills, hey
Start the car and take me home
Here we are
And you're too drunk to hear a word I say
Start the car and take me home

Just tonight, I will stay
And we'll throw it all away
When the light hits your eyes
It's telling me I'm right
And if I, I am through
Then it's all because of you
Just tonight

Here I am
And I can't seem to see straight
But I'm too numb to feel right now
And here I am
Watching the clock that's ticking away my time
I'm too numb to feel right now

Just tonight, I will stay
And we'll throw it all away
When the light hits your eyes
It's telling me I'm right
And if I, I am through
Then it's all because of you
Just tonight
Just tonight

Do you understand who I am?
Do you wanna know?
Can you really see through me?
Now I have got to go

Just tonight, I won't leave
And I'll lie and you'll believe
Just tonight, I will see
That it's all because of me

Just tonight, I will stay
And we'll throw it all away
When the light hits your eyes
It's telling me I'm right
And if I, I am through
Then it's all because of you
Just tonight (do you understand who I am?)

It's all because of you
Just tonight (do you understand who I am?)
It's all because of you
Just tonight (do you understand who I am?)
It's all because of you
Just tonight

Turn around
Every now and then I get a little bit lonely
And you never coming 'round
Turn around
Every now and then I get a little bit tired
Of listening to the sound of my tears

Turn around
Every now and then I get a little bit nervous
That the best of all the years have gone by
Turn around
Every now and then I get a little bit terrified
And then I see the look in your eyes

Turn around, bright eyes
Every now and then I fall apart
Turn around, bright eyes
Every now and then I fall apart

Turn around
Every now and then I get a little bit restless
And I dream of something wild
Turn around
Every now and then I get a little bit helpless
And I'm lying like a child in your arms

Turn around
Every now and then I get a little bit angry
And I know I've got to get out and cry
Turn around
Every now and then I get a little bit terrified
But then I see the look in your eyes

Turn around, bright eyes
Every now and then I fall apart
Turn around, bright eyes
Every now and then I fall apart

And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
'Cause we'll never be wrong
Together we can take it to the end of the line
Our love is like a shadow on me all of the time

I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight

Once upon a time, I was falling in love
Now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart

A total eclipse of the heart

And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
'Cause we'll never be wrong
Together we can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time (all of the time)

I don't know what to do, I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
(Forever's gonna start tonight)

Once upon a time, I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
Nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart

A total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart

A total eclipse of the heart

Broke my heart on the road
Spent the weekends sewing the pieces back on
Crayons and dolls pass me by
Walking gets too boring when you learn how to fly

Not the homecoming kind
Take the top off, and who knows what you might find
Won't confess all my sins
You can bet all trying, but you can't always win

'Cause I'm a gypsy, are you coming with me?
I might steal your clothes and wear them if they fit me
Never made agreements just like a gypsy
And I won't back down 'cause life's already bit me
And I won't cry, I'm too young to die
If you're gon' quit me
'Cause I'm a gypsy

'Cause I'm a gypsy

I can't hide what I've done
Scars remind me of just how far that I've come
To whom it may concern
Only run with scissors when you want to get hurt

'Cause I'm a gypsy, are you coming with me?
I might steal your clothes and wear them if they fit me
I don't make agreements just like a gypsy
And I won't back down 'cause life's already bit me
And I won't cry, I'm too young to die
If you're gonna quit me
'Cause I'm a gypsy

And I say, hey you, you're no fool if you say, no
Ain't it just the way life goes?
People fear what they don't know
Come along for the ride (Oh yeah)
Come along for the ride (Woo-hoo!)

'Cause I'm a gypsy, are you coming with me?
I might steal your clothes and wear them if they fit me
Never made agreements just like a gypsy
And I won't back down 'cause life's already bit me
And I won't cry, I'm too young to die
If you're gon' quit me
'Cause I'm a gypsy

Lying in my bed
I hear the clock tick and think of you
Caught up in circles
Confusion is nothing new

Flashback, warm nights
Almost left behind
Suitcase of memories
Time after
Sometimes you picture me
I'm walkin' too far ahead
You're callin' to me
I can't hear what you've said

Then you say, "go slow"
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds

If you're lost, you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time
If you're lost, you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time

After my picture fades
And darkness has turned to gray
Watching through windows
You're wondering if I'm okay

Secrets stolen
From deep inside
The drum beats out of time

If you're lost, you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time

You said, "go slow"
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds

If you're lost, you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time
If you're lost, you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time

Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time

Oh-oh, hey
Oh-oh, mmh

Baby, baby, yeah
Are you listening?
Wondering
Where you've been all my life
I just started living
Ooh-oh, baby
Are you listening?
Oh-oh

When you say you love me (love me)
Know I love you more
And when you say you need me (need me)
Know I need you more
Boy, I adore you-ou-ou-ou-ou
I adore you-ou-ou-ou-ou

Baby, can ya hear me
When I'm crying out for you? (For you)
I'm scared, oh
So scared (scared)
But when you're near me
I feel like I'm standing with an army (with an army)
Of men armed with weapons
Hey, oh-oh

When you say you love me (love me)
Know I love you more
And when you say you need me (need me)
Know I need you more
Boy, I adore you-ou-ou-ou-ou
I adore you-ou-ou-ou-ou

I love lying next to you
I could do this for eternity
You and me
We're meant to be in holy matrimony
God knew exactly what He was doing
When He led me to you

When you say you love me (love me)
Know I love you more (I love you more)
And when you say you need me (need me)
Know I need you more
Boy, I adore you-ou-ou-ou-ou
I adore you-ou-ou-ou-ou

When you say you love me (love me)
Know I love you more
And when you say you need me (need me)
Know I need you more
Boy, I adore you-ou-ou-ou-ou
I adore you-ou-ou-ou-ou
