Bad Company - Anna

I got a sweet little angel and I love her soShe's there when I need her, she understands when I say goIn the night, when she says "Hold me", it makes me feel so strongLiving with her unfolds me, she gives me strength to carry on

I don't need anyone elseIf I did I would be fooling myselfAnna, Anna

And I know if she left me, my world would turn coldShe's the best little lady that a man could ever holdWhen I'm down, she knows what to sayShe clears my blindness awayAnd in the night, she says "Hold me", it makes me feel so strong

Oh, how cool! That's very convenient!

I'm Muzzy, big Muzzy. GrrrrrWTF?

Wow, are you sure she is not a robot?

Zarpa – Rosas y espinas (Roses and thorns)

I met you, and I fell in loveYou became a part of my ownAnd I marked my skin;Two hearts, a pact between you and me.

And all of a sudden you say „no“You say that you don't love me anymoreLike a dagger stuck in my soulYou give me pain

You give me roses and thornsFirst you reject me and say „no“ to meYou give me roses and thornsBecause I no longer notices you, you made me notice (the hard way)

I gave with great passionA sweet Angel, result of our loveAnd I surrendered to you, womanLike a prey to its predator

You are trapped by the temptation of living your own lifeYou hurt me and with no compassionYou are running away from me.

Wait...

Oh, oh...

Uh? WTF?

And it wasn't even her birthday!

HOW DARE YOU?!

- Passive agressiveness- Childdish behaviour

- Myth of completeness- Possession

That's nice, congrats!
