Can anyone think of any popular songs (that were hits at one time) that are based on affairs? One that comes to mind is "Secret Lovers" by Atlantic Starr. Does anyone have any others they listen to? If so, list them here! I'm curious...

I always thought 'Follow Me' by Uncle Kracker was about an affair...

Sweet


"FOLLOW ME"

You don't know how you met me

You don't know why

You can't turn around and say goodbye

All you know is when I'm with you

I make you free

And swim through your veins like a fish in the sea I'm singin'

CHORUS

Follow me everything is alright

I'll be the one to tuck you in at night

And if you

Want to leave I can guarantee

You won't find nobody else like me

'm not worried bout the ring you wear

Cuz as long as no one knows than nobody can care

You're feelin' guilty and I'm well aware

But you don't look ashamed and baby I'm not scared

I'm singin'

REPEAT CHORUS

Won't give you money

I can't give you the sky

Your better off if you don't ask why

I'm not the reason that you go astray and

We'll be all right if you don't ask me stay

REPEAT CHORUS

You don't know how you met me

You don't know why

You can't turn around and say goodbye

All you know is when I'm with you

I make you free

And swim through your veins like a fish in the sea

I'm singin'

REPEAT CHORUS



Sweet

How about this one from 3 doors down. My MM told me he went out and bought the CD sat because it reminds him so much of us. Check it out

Here Without You

(Music by Arnold, Roberts & Harrell)

A hundred days have made me older

Since the last time that I saw your pretty face

A thousand lies have made me colder

And I don't think I can look at this the same

All the miles that separate

Disappear now when I'm dreamin' of your face

I'm here without you baby

But you're still on my lonely mind

I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time

I'm here without you baby

But you're still with me in my dreams

And tonight, there's only you and me.

The miles just keep rollin'

As the people leave their way to say hello

I've heard this life is overrated

But I hope that it gets better as we go.

I'm here without you baby

But you're still on my lonely mind

I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time

I'm here without you baby

But you're still with me in my dreams

And tonight girl, there's only you and me.

Everything I know, and anywhere I go

It gets hard but it won't take away my love

And when the last one falls, when it's all said and done.

It gets hard but it won't take away my love

I'm here without you baby

But you're still on my lonely mind

I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time

I'm here without you baby

But you're still with me in my dreams

And tonight girl, there's only you and me

This is one I just found-"If You're Not the One" by Daniel Bedingfield. Although sung by a man, and it mentions becoming a wife, so many of the the emotions I've been feeling in this new love are said so beautifully in this song. *sigh* Ain't love grand (and gruesome)?

If you’re not the one then why does my soul feel glad today?

If you’re not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?

If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call

If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all

I never know what the future brings

But I know you are here with me now

We’ll make it through

And I hope you are the one I share my life with

I don’t want to run away but I can’t take it, I don’t understand

If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?

Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

If I don’t need you then why am I crying on my bed?

If I don’t need you then why does your name resound in my head?

If you’re not for me then why does this distance maim my life?

If you’re not for me then why do I dream of you as my wife?

I don’t know why you’re so far away

But I know that this much is true

We’ll make it through

And I hope you are the one I share my life with

And I wish that you could be the one I die with

And I pray in you’re the one I build my home with

I hope I love you all my life

I don’t want to run away but I can’t take it, I don’t understand

If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am

Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

‘Cause I miss you, body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away

And I breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today

‘Cause I love you, whether it’s wrong or right

And though I can’t be with you tonight

And know my heart is by your side

I don’t want to run away but I can’t take it, I don’t understand

If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am

Is there any way that I could stay in your arms

Hi,just wanted to share my favourite 'affair' tracks.

'Really love to see you tonight' - Bread

'Something In The Way She Moves' - James Taylor

And when our affair was ending:

'When Love Breaks Down' - Prefab Sprout ......this is a real tearjerker...for me anyway.

Just a few my now xmm and i loved.

They still bring tears to my eyes.


hugs,

katie

I just happened across this train of messages. The one song about affairs that I know of is by the Proclaimers (The scottish guys who sang that 500 miles song) It's called heaven right now:

She's everything a married man should look for in a girl

she's married too, but not to you and that's part of the thrill

she's the one who makes you feel alright

her alibi's your alibi, it's watertight

Good luck to all of you in your relationships, whichever ones you choose to go with.

There's one song I cry every time I hear. It's by Faith Hill and it's called "Love Will Always Win." (Lyrics posted below.) This seems to apply to the people I've known who've gotten married to the person they were involved in scandal with. The world DOES eventually seem to 'bend.' Then there's "Nah" by Shania Twain, which I listen to when I'm trying to convince myself I'm strong enough to end this... It helps me get some emotional distance...

Love Will Always Win

Faith Hill

Hold me

Like there's no tomorrow

There can be no sorrow

Right here where we stand

Living

Only for a moment

All I ever wanted

Is right here in my hands

Some will say

That we're sure to fall

Try to build their walls

Between us, yeah

No way over it

No way around it, boy

If we want it

We have to go through it

Fight for love

And the world tries to break us down

But the world will bend

And the fight will end

Love will always win

Hold on

'Til we see tomorrow

There is time to borrow

'Til we own our own

Walk on

And our hearts will lead us

But our hearts will need us

To be steady and strong

So we can stand

And face the fire

Burning higher

Surrounding us, yeah

No way over it

No way around it, boy

If we want it

We have to go through it

Fight for love

And the world tries to break us down

Oh, but the world will bend

And the fight will end

Love will always win

I've always liked "Dilemma" by Nelly/Kelly then one day, I realized that that was kind of my situation. Here's another one, it's called "You're my little secret" by xscape. I also kinda like "Torn between two lovers."

This is one song that i heard called can't leave you alone, "damn" by Faboulous, that really related to my ema, even though it's the guy singing about having an affair and not the woman, the words remind me of the way i feel


chorus: Girl, i want to be with you

got to be real with you, can't leave u alone

and i know i'm living wrong, but i can't let you go


you're the one in my life, already got a wife

cant leave u alone but i know im living wrong, but i cant let you go.
