Adjective Clause Song Contest

Although the noun clause song contest has not officially ended yet, you can start thinking of your entries for this next contest on adjective clauses.

When you include the lyrics, please CAPITALIZE the adjective clause.

For this contest I'd like everyone to enter a song!

I have posted some examples on the blog for you, and here is one more from my childhood. Enjoy!

"You're the One that I Want," by Olivia Newton John and John Travolta

B= boy/ Danny
G=Girl/Sandy
B: both

G: Tell me about it stud!

B: I got chills.
They're multiplyin'.
And I'm losin' control.
'Cause the power you're supplyin',
it's electrifyin'!

G: You better shape up,
'cause I need a man
and my heart is set on you.
You better shape up;
you better understand
to my heart I must be true.

B: Nothin' left, nothin' left for me to do.

Both: You're the one that I want.
(you are the one i want), o,o, oo, honey.
The one that I want.
(you are the one i want want), o,o,oo, honey.
The one that I want
(you are the one i want want), o,o, ooooo
The one I need.
Oh, yes indeed.

G: If you're filled
with affection
you're too shy to convey,
meditate in my direction.
Feel your way.

B: I better shape up,
'cause you need a man
G: i need a man
who can keep me satisfied.
B: I better shape up
if I'm gonna prove
G: you better prove
that my faith is justified.

B:Are you sure?
Both:Yes, I'm sure down deep inside.

You're the one that I want.
(you are the one i want want), o, o, oo, honey.
The one that I want.
(you are the one i want want), o,o,oo, honey.
The one that I want
(you are the one i want),o, o, oo
The one I need.
Oh, yes indeed.

  1. Holly, I think we can not do any format on writing comment here. I try to do in many ways but it doesn't work. The only thing I can do here is to make capital letter. I guess everybody has the same problem with me but if anybody have a cure, kindly share it.

  2. I see what you mean. Okay, so capital letters for the clauses are good.

  3. I want somebody to share
    Share the rest of my life
    Share my innermost thoughts
    Know my intimate details
    SOMEONE WHO'LL STAND BY SIDE
    And give me support
    And in return
    She'll get my support
    She will listen to me
    When I want to speak
    About the world we live in
    And life in general
    Though my views may be wrong
    They may even be perverted
    She'll hear me out
    And won't easily be converted
    To my way of thinking
    In fact she'll often disagree
    But at the end of it all
    She will understand me
    Aaaahhhhh....

    I WANT SOMEBODY WHO CARES FOR ME PASSIONATELY
    With every thought
    With every breath
    SOMEONE WHO'LL HELP ME SEE THINGS IN A DIFFERENT LIGHT
    All the things I detest
    I will almost like
    I don't want to be tied
    To anyone's strings
    I'm carefully trying to steer clear of
    Those things
    But when I'm asleep
    I WANT SOMEBODY WHO WILL PUT THEIR ARMS AROUND ME
    And kiss me tenderly
    Though things like this
    Make me sick
    In a case like this
    I'll get away with it
    And in a place like this
    I'll get away with it
    Aaaahhhhh....

  4. I KNOW IT : MADONNA

    I don't know why I thought that I could make you happy

    THESE TEARS I CRY FOR YOU are so hopeless, yeah

    I don't know why I thought that we were going somewhere
    But you grabbed your coat and you were out the door
    And now I know you don't care

    I know you're gonna take your love and run
    I know you think I'm the foolish one
    I know you're gonna turn around and say goodbye

    I used to think you were MY PRETTY ANGEL COMIN' DOWN
    Well now you've just proven me wrong
    What about THE LETTER WE HAVE WRITTEN
    All THE THING WE'VE SAID AND DONE
    I'll just stand here while you count THE BATTLES YOU HAVE WON

    But I'm not gonna cry for you
    'Cause that's what you want me to do
    No I'm not gonna cry for you anymore

    Take your love and run from me
    Is this THE WAY LOVE'S SUPPOSED TO BE
    You don't think that I can see
    But you can't fool me

    But I'm not gonna cry for you
    'Cause that's what you want me to do
    No I'm not gonna cry for you anymore

  6. WHAT MAKES YOU BEAUTIFUL - ONE DIRECTION

    You're insecure,
    Don't know what for,
    You're turning heads when you walk through the door,
    Don't need make-up,
    To cover up,
    Being the way THAT YOU ARE IS ENOUGH,

    Everyone else in the room can see it,
    Everyone else but you,

    Baby you light up my world like nobody else,
    The way THAT YOU FLIP YOUR HAIR GETS ME OVERWHELMED,
    But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell,
    You don't know,
    Oh oh,
    YOU DON'T KNOW Ø [THAT] YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL,
    If only you saw what I can see,
    You'll understand why I want you so desperately,
    Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe,
    You don't know,
    Oh oh,
    YOU DON'T KNOW Ø [THAT] YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL,
    Oh oh,
    THAT'S WHAT MAKES YOU BEAUTIFUL.

    LIGHTS - ELLIE GOULDING

    I had a way then losing it all on my own
    I had a heart then but the queen has been overthrown
    And I'm not sleeping now, the dark is too hard to beat
    And I'm not keeping now, the strength I need to push me

    You show the lights THAT STOP ME TURN TO STONE
    You shine it when I'm alone
    And so I tell myself THAT I'LL BE STRONG
    And dreaming when they're gone

    'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
    Calling, calling, calling home
    You show the lights THAT STOP ME TURN TO STONE
    You shine it when I'm alone

    Noises, Ø [THAT] I PLAY WITHIN MY HEAD
    Touch my own skin and hope THAT I'm still breathing
    And I think back to when my brother and my sister slept
    In an unlocked place the only time Ø [THAT] I FEEL SAFE.

    1. YOU DON'T KNOW Ø [THAT] YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL,
      Oh oh,
      THAT'S WHAT MAKES YOU BEAUTIFUL.

      Christian, those are noun clauses (objects of the verb)! Wrong contest for this song!!!

    2. The second song is also better suited to the noun clause contest. Sorry, Cute Christian!

  7. ‪”The One You Love,” by Glenn Frey‬

    I know you need a friend, someone YOU CAN TALK TO
    Who will understand what you're going through
    When it comes to love, there's no easy answer
    Only you can say what you're gonna do

    I heard you on the phone, you took his number
    Said you weren't alone, but you'd call him soon
    Isn't he the guy, the guy WHO LEFT YOU CRYIN' ?
    Isn't he the one WHO MADE YOU BLUE ?

    When you remember those nights in his arms
    You know you gotta make up your mind

    Are you gonna stay with the one WHO LOVES YOU
    Or are you goin' back to the one YOU LOVE ?
    Someone's gonna cry when they know they've lost you
    Someone's gonna thank the stars above

    What you gonna say when he comes over?
    There's no easy way to see this through
    All the broken dreams, all the disappointment
    Oh girl, what you gonna do?

    Your heart keeps sayin' IT'S JUST NOT FAIR
    But still you gotta make up your mind

    Are you gonna stay with the one WHO LOVES YOU
    Or are you goin' back to the one YOU LOVE ?
    Someone's gonna cry when they know they've lost you
    Someone's gonna thank the stars above
