neko case şarkısı;

and if you knew what i know
you wouldn't go to see her
and least of all believe her when she says
that she wants you

you're just another puppet
she's not even keeping score
and the lazy way she cheats you leaves me cold
she'll laugh about you to her petty friends
but you don't know

cause if you knew what i know
you wouldn't go to see her
and least of all believe her when she says
that she wants you

she spends her daddy's money
and she drives her daddy's car
and what's crazy is the way you think that's style
and all the while my heart is breaking
you're not even on her mind

cause if you knew what i know
babe, you wouldn't leave me
you wouldn't turn away from my love
it's what you said that you believed in

i say this as your friend:
you'll be the poor boy in the end

nina simone sarkisi;

if you knew how i missed you
you would not stay away today
don't you know how i love you
stay here my dear with me

i need you here my darling
together for a day a day
together never parting
just you just me my love

i can't go on without you
your love is all i'm living for
i love all things about you
your heart your soul my love

i need you here beside me
forever and a day a day
i know whatever betides me
i love you i love you i do

adeta bir dişi yakarış niteliğindeki mélanie pain şarkısı:

if you knew just what to do,
if you knew just what to say,
i will hand it over to you on a plate
if you tell me what you like,
if you tell me what you don't,
i can give you happy hippie...happy time.

but you don't know what to do,
and you don't know what to say,
if you say yes i could stay,
if you say no i would go,
are you ever satisfied..anyway?

you pretend to be a fool,
but at you i'm not that cool,
use your bullets on me,
i will be your pray.
oh you just keep me in suspense,
got me hanging for a dance,
i'm a really tasty bite if you try.

so if you do not tell me soon,
i might have to leave the room,
as i'm losing all my patience,
and you're not looking so gracious,
i am fast for getting wild... anyway.

if you just tell me what to do,
if you just tell me what to say,
i could be what you need,
i could be what you want,
if you just tell me how to play,
if you just tell me day by day,
i could be all you need,
i could be all you want.

if i knew just what to do,
and if i knew just what to say,
you will hand it over to me on a plate,
i have tried so tenderly
to not fully torture me,
but i'm doomed to wait on you,
oh i'm doomed to wait on you... when you too are free.

bir çok cover'ı gibi bu cover'ı da inanılmaz güzel olan, jeff buckley'nin yorumladığı şarkı.
