I love Alison Moyet music

...and this song is one reason why:

Is This Love? Alison Moyet

...

I would not have believed you, had I never seen
Now you and I are intimately pictured in my dreams
I could not forsake you all for tumbling away
And if I live in wonderland I'm better off this way

I choose never to forget
I want our lips to kiss and our limbs to entwine
Let our bodies be twisted but never our minds

Is this love? Is this love? Is this love? Is this love?
Set to work idle hands shake these thoughts
Had I planned them they never would be teasing me
As viciously as these

So is this one:

Honesty Billy Joel

If you search for tenderness
It isn't hard to find
You can have the love you need to live
But if you look for truthfulness
You might just as well be blind
It always seems to be so hard to give

CHORUS

Honesty is such a lonely word
Everyone is so untrue
Honesty is hardly ever heard
And mostly what I need from you

I can always find someone
To say they sympathize
If I wear my heart out on my sleeve
But I don't want some pretty face
To tell me pretty lies
All I want is someone to believe

...

And, yes, this one:

Piece of My Heart Janis Joplin

...

And each time I tell myself that I, well I think I've had enough,
But I'm gonna show you, baby, that a woman can be tough.

I want you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it,
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby, (break a..)
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah. (have a..)
Hey! Have another little piece of my heart now, baby, yeah.
You know you got it if it makes you feel good,
Oh yes indeed.

...

Baby, I cry all the time!
And each time I tell myself that I, well I can't stand the pain,
But when you hold me in your arms, I'll sing it once again.

...

Have another little piece of my heart now, baby, yeah.
Well, You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good
