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...

Those are all great affair songs! (I love that Richard Marx one) There is a new hiphop song that is getting alot of radio play about affairs. It's called "Can't Let You Go" by Fabolous. Here are part of the lyrics:


Chorus - lil mo]

I really wanna be with you (be with you)

But I gotta be real with you (real with you)

I can't leave you alone (lone)

And I know I'm livin' wrong

But i can't let ya go

Your the one i want in my life (want in my life)

Already got a wife (got a wife)

Can't leave you alone (lone)

And I know I'm livin' wrong

But I can't let ya go

**********************************************************************************

I also found the lyrics to secret lovers: (so appropriate!)

(HER)

Here we are, just the two of us together

Takin' this crazy chance to be all alone

We both know that we should not be together

‘Cause if we’re found out, it could mess up

Both our happy homes

(HIM)

I hate to think about us all meetin' up together

‘Cause as soon as I look at you it will show on my face, yeah

Then they’ll know that we’ve been loving each other

We can’t let ‘em know, no, no, no

We can’t leave a trace

(BOTH)

Secret lovers, yeah, that’s what we are

We shouldn't be together

But we can’t let go, no, no

‘Cause we love each other so

Ooh…ooh…

(HER)

Sittin’ at home, I do nothin’ all day

But I think about you and hope that you’re okay

Hopin’ you’ll call before anyone gets home

I wait anxiously alone by the phone

(HIM)

How could something so wrong be so right

I wish we didn’t have to keep our love out of sight, yeah

Livin' two lives just ain’t easy at all

But we gotta hang on in there or fall

CHORUS:

(BOTH)

Secret lovers, yeah, that’s what we are

Tryin’ so hard to hide the way we feel

‘Cause we both belong to someone else

But we can’t let go

‘Cause what we feel is, oh, so real

So real, so real

(BOTH)

You and me, are we fair

Is this cruel or do we care

Can they tell what’s in our minds

Maybe they’ve had secret loves all of the time

(HIM)

In the middle of makin' love we notice the time

We both get nervous ‘cause it’s way after nine

(HER)

Even though we hate it, we know it’s time that we go

We gotta be careful so that no one will know

CHORUS

So real, so real

Here's an old one by Kenny Rogers..."What about me?" And I also always thought that the oldie "We've got tonight" by Kenny Rogers and Sheena Easton was a good "A" song.

A lot of "my" A songs were posted already, but

I still have a few to add. Not all of them are

specifically about A's, and not all are for the

happiest times, but I'm sure you can relate to

those all the same too, now and then.

"Destiny" -Gloria Estefan

"Heaven's What I Feel" -Gloria Estefan ("I was not

supposed to fall in love w/ you. I have someone else

and someone else is loving you...")

"Words Get In The Way" -Gloria Estefan

"Here We Are" -Gloria Estefan

"Don't Wanna Lose You Now" -Gloria Estefan

(Cuts Both Ways is excellent too, but was mentioned)

"It's So Easy" -Sheryl Crow + ? (Some guy from the

Eagles I think) ("All I wanna know is when u go, do

u think of me? Cause I could let u go, but there'd be

a hole where my heart used to be. Its so easy holding

u near, I could melt in ur arms disappear. Lovin u, baby,

is breakin my heart tonight cause its so easy but it

isn't right....its so easy but it isnt right. Every night

I lay here alone after u leave me and go home. And she doesn't

know that we can't let go, and its hurting me so...")

"Right Kinda Wrong" -Leann Rimes

"All The Man That I Need" -Whitney Houston

"All I've Ever Wanted" -Mariah Carey

"Just Because" -Carolyn Dawn Johnson ("..Ive seen it too many

times before, the minute she leaves ur at my door. U know that

I care for u but this time I aint gonna be ur fool. Just b/c ur

lonely doesnt mean that ur in love. Just b/c u want me now baby

that ain't good enough. I know what I want n its not what ur

thinking of. And I aint gonna give my heart away, just b/c...

Just b/c u want validation. Just b/c u need a good conversation.

Just b/c I've done it before doesnt mean I'll do it again..")

"I Love Me Some Him" -Toni Braxton

"I Want You" -Bon Jovi

"No Regrets" -Bon Jovi

"(Its Hard) Letting You Go" -Bon Jovi

"In These Arms" -Bon Jovi

"You Had Me From Hello" -Bon Jovi

"Every Word Was A Piece Of My Heart" -Bon Jovi

"I Can't Ever Get Enough Of You" -Darren Hayes

"Impossible" -Christina Aguilera

"When Can I See You Again" -Babyface

"Is This Love" -Whitesnake

"Piece of My Heart" -Lionel Richie

Ok... so I like to listen to a lot of music ;o)

Think you've got more than enough songs to pick from

now lol :op

One that I listened to non-stop at first was 'Delimma' by Nelly. Also 'Here's to the Night' Eve 6 and 'Think Twice' Eve 6 (More recent). Also, I'm not sure if it's specifically about A's but I love the lyrics to 'Dosed' by Red Hot Chile Peppers:

'I got dosed by u

closer than most to u

what am i s'possed to do?

In u a star is born

u cut a perfect form

someone for ever warm



waiting for the night where she dies

all i ever wanted was your life

deep inside the canyon i can hide

all i ever wanted was your life


show love w/ no remorse

climb onto your sea horse

this ride is right on course

this is the way i wanted it to be w/ u

this is the way i knew that it could be w/ u

(refrain)

i got dosed by u

closer than most to u

what am i s'posed to do?

take it away i never had it away

take it away and everything will be okay

(refrain)


I tend to listen to this one when I'm most melancholy. There are a lot of others I relate to as well - but i'm out of time and don't want H to see me posting on this disscussion board!

How about these lyrics to "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" sung by Frankie Valle?

Seem to apply.


You're just too good to be true.

Can't take my eyes off you.

You'd be like heaven to touch. I wanna

Hold you so much. At long last love has

Arrived. And I thank God I'm alive. You're

Just too good to be true. Can't take my

Eyes off yoy.

Pardon the way that I stare. There's nothing

Else to compare. The sight of you leaves me

Weak. There are no words left to speak.

But if you feel like I feel. Please let me know

That it's real. You're just too good to be true.

Can't take my eyes off you.

I need you baby, and if it's quite all right,

I need you baby to warm a lonely night. I love

You baby. Trust in me when I say: Oh pretty

Baby, don't bring me down I pray. Oh pretty

Baby, now that I found you, stay. And let me

Love you, oh baby let me love you, oh baby...
