[fanmix] Loving You's a Dirty Job

[For [livejournal.com profile] aplayfulpup.]





1. I Just Wanna Make Love to You ~ Etta James
I don't want you to be no slave;
I don't want you to work all day;
But I want you to be true,
And I just wanna make love to you.
...Love to you...
...Love to you...Ooooohhooh...
...Love to you...

This is pretty self-explanatory. Because if either of them could afford to keep each other in bed all day, they would.

2. Loving You’s a Dirty Job ~ Bonnie Tyler and Meatloaf
Why don't you believe it when you finally found the truth
You’ve been drinking poison water from the fountain of youth
Why don't you stop tearing up everyone you need the most
You're so busy trying to get even
You never even try to get close

I can't explain it away
It doesn't make any sense
To know what it's like
I guess you gotta go through it
It doesn't matter baby
Loving you's a dirty job
But somebody's gotta do it

This is the title track of the mix mostly because this is such a them song. Aaron’s always pulling away from her, and she’s always clawing at him to get him back, for a reason that she doesn’t even understand. She knows that a lot of people probably wouldn’t bother to put in the effort, but she thinks he’s worth it, which is all that matters to her.

3. Mercy ~ Glee Cast
I love you
But I gotta stay true
My morals got me on my knees
I'm beggin' please
Stop playin' games

I don't know what this is
Cause you got me good
Just like you knew you would

I don't know what you do
but you do it well
I'm under your spell.

This is just a general Felicity song, but sometimes I wonder about her and Aaron sometimes and how attached to him she is, when she’s getting nothing in return. Because regardless of the fact that she’s happier with him than without him, she’s got a long road ahead of her.

4. Starstrukk ~ 3OH!3 featuring Katy Perry
I think I should know how to make love to something innocent without leaving my fingerprints
Out,
Now,
L-o-v-e's just another word I never learned to pronounce,
How do I say I'm sorry 'cause the word is just never gonna come out,
Now,
L-o-v-e's just another word I never learned to pronounce

This is more of an Aaron song, but I think it applies to Felicity in a big way. He just wants something simple, but she’s always trying to make things complicated for him, and while he resents that, for some reason he keeps coming back.

***

5. I’m Always Chasing Rainbows ~ Judy Garland
I'm always chasing rainbows,
Watching clouds drifting by,
My dreams are just like all my schemes,
Ending in the sky.

This is a straight up Felicity song. But it’s how she feels with regards to Aaron, because she knows she’s biting off more than she can chew with him.

***

6. Maybe I Like it This Way ~ The Wild Party
I like the way he laughs
His strange and silent stare
I like the way he moves
The way he's always there
The way he calls my name
The way he takes control
I like the way this man has stirred my soul

This is a flat out Felicity song, and explains perfectly the way she feels about Aaron. She wants to just take care of him, and have him take care of her. Which they do do, in their own interesting ways.

7. Hotter Than Hell ~ Kiss
She looked good
She looked hotter than hell
All dressed in satins and lace
I looked at her and it was just too clear
I had to get on the case
I said "Lady, oh lady, can I take you home
There's just so much we could do
I'll take you all around the whole wide world
Before the evening is through"

This is just them. Otherwise it’s pretty self-explanatory.

***

8. Love Me ~ Elvis Presley
Treat me like a fool,
Treat me mean and cruel,
But love me.

Break my faithful heart,
Tear it all apart,
But love me.

If you ever go,
Darling, I'll be oh so lonely
I'll be sad and blue,
Crying over you, dear only.

This is another one that’s pretty self-explanatory. Felicity’s waiting for him to swing her way, but she knows that’s going to take a while.

***

9. You Can be as Loud as the Hell You Want (When You’re Making Love) ~ Avenue Q
You're not allowed to be loud
At the library
At the art museum
Or at a play
But when you and your partner
Are doing the nasty
Don't behave like you're
At the ballet!

This is an Aaron song, through and through. But it does work for both of them.

***

10. In His Eyes ~ Jekyll and Hyde
In his eyes I see a gentle glow,
And that's where I'll be safe, I know!
Safe in his arms, close to his heart...
But I don't know quite where to start...
By looking in his eyes,
Will I see beyond tomorrow?
By looking in his eyes,
Will I see beyond the sorrow
That I feel?
Will his eyes reveal to me
Promises or lies?

I think this is what Felicity is looking for from him, but I’m not sure she’s ever going to find it. She wants to know if there’s more to them than just what she feels, but Aaron tends to give her a run for her money that way.

***

11. One of Us ~ ABBA
One of us is crying
One of us is lying
In her lonely bed
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
One of us is lonely
One of us is only
Waiting for a call
Sorry for herself, feeling stupid feeling small
Wishing she had never left at all

Felicity feels this way every time they have a fight. It makes me really sad.

***

12. C’mon and Love Me ~ Kiss
I'm a man, I'm no baby
And you're lookin' every inch a lady
You're good lookin' and you're lookin' like you should be good
You were distant, now you're nearer
I can feel your face inside the mirror
The lights are out and I can feel you, baby, with my hand

So baby, baby, don't you hesitate
'Cause I just can't wait
Lady, won't you take me down on my knees
You can do what you please
Come on and love me

This is such an Aaron song. Every time it comes up in my shuffle, she thinks of him, and it’s in a good way. So few songs actually get to do that.

***

13. Summerboy ~ Lady Gaga
Nowhere
Yeah we're going nowhere fast
Maybe this time, I’ll be yours you'll be mine
c-c-c-crazy, get your ass in my bed
Baby you'll be, just my summer boyfriend
Summer boy

Let’s get lost you can take me home
Somewhere nice we can be alone
Bikini tops, coming o-o-off
Don't be sad when the sun goes down
You'll wake up and I’m not around
I’ve got to go oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
We'll still have the summer after all

This is another happy song for them. She actually really likes this song and reminds her of him a lot.

***

14. Dead Ringer for Love ~ Meat Loaf
Rock 'n roll and brew, rock 'n roll and brew
They don't mean a thing when I compare 'em next to you
Rock 'n roll and brew, rock 'n roll and brew
I know that you and I oh we got better things to do
I don't know who you are or what you do, or where you go when you're not around
I don't know anything about you baby, but you're everything I'm dreaming of
I don't know who you are, but you're a real dead ringer for love
A real dead ringer for love

Another one that’s the same as above. Just a fun song that makes me happy when I think of them.

***

15. Gravity ~ Sara Bareillis
Something always brings me back to you.
It never takes too long.
No matter what I say or do, I still feel you here 'till the moment I'm gone.

You hold me without touch.
You keep me without chains.
I never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love and not feel your rain.

And the heartbreaking song for last. But this is so incredibly them, as much as I hate that it is. They make me so sad, yet so happy all at the same time.
