YOU’RE LOVING SOMEBODY ELSE

Duffy “Stepping Stone” (UK)

I remember way back way back when
I said i never wanna see your face again
Cause you were loving yes you’re loving somebody else
And I knew oh yes I knew I couldn’t control myself
And now they bring you back into my life again
And so I put on a face just like your friend’s
But I think you know oh yes you know whats going on
Cause the feelings in me oh yes in me are burning strong

But I will never be your stepping stone
Take it all or leave me alone
I will never be your stepping stone
I’m standing upright on my own

You used to call me up from time to time
And it would be so hard for me not to cross the line
The words of love layed on my lips just like a curse
And i knew oh yes i knew they’d only make it worse
And now you have the nerve to play along
Just like the maestro beats in a song
You got your kicks you get your kicks from playing me
And the less you give the more i want so foolishly

But I will never be your stepping stone
Take it all or leave me alone
I will never be your stepping stone
I’m standing upright on my own…

No I will never be your stepping stone
Take it all or leave me alone
I will never be your stepping stone
I’m standing upright on my own

Never be your stepping stone
Take it all or leave me alone
I will never be your stepping stone
I’m standing upright on my own

truth serum

i made an awful decision several years ago in one fateful night when i agreed to go out on a date with my ex as a way of getting back together. we went to the theater after a delicious dinner at our favorite restaurant before going and getting hammered at a nearby wine bar. the beginning of the night started out awkward since we were a bit confused as to why we were out in the first place. we had broken up for a reason, the same reason, just like the many times before. we fight too much and our hearts are always somewhere else.

but, the night was a blast. we had a great conversation during dinner, were arm and arm at the theater, and all laughs at the wine bar. we decided to go back to her place where she wanted to talk more than make-out. i was disappointed since my horns were already sticking out by that time but i played along. she kept pouring me drinks and i got drunker and drunker. when i was completely smashed, she started asking questions, ones that i would never answer if i was in my right mind.

i somewhat remember struggling to get my stories straight but she had me by the balls (literally). one after another, i confessed all my lovers, how often, how deep, and how long, save one. i didn’t want to tell her about you. i remember struggling real hard to not mention your name. why? because all the other girls didn’t matter to her. they all come and go. but you…she would never forgive. it doesn’t matter that we haven’t seen each other for over a year or that you’ve moved on. she knows. so she asked about you.

i pretended to pass out but she was determined. it became apparent to me that the whole night was a set up for that very question: “do you still love her?” i couldn’t avoid it anymore. if we were to get back together, i would need to come clean and tell her all that we’ve gone through since we met. luckily, i really did start passing out, but not until i mentioned that i will always love you. big mistake.

omg i’m fucking in love with short blonde girls from wales that sing soul deeply! i first caught duffy a few months ago on The View and thought, “omfg, short blonde girls are hot!” then she started singing this deep soul a la motown and i instantly fell for her. her voice is amazing and her hotness is nothing like lily allen or amy whinehouse. she’s only 23 but her songwriting shows some great maturity and genuine heartbreak that most women her age can’t even fathom. plus, she kinda looks like dolly parton crossed with pamela anderson! yeye!
