    On Saturday - The Clarks

    I'm gonna quit cause it's getting old
    And it'll save my life or so I've been told

    You see I got this thing that I like to do
    But it seems to get between me and you
    You won't understand if you gotta ask why
    But if it's what you want I guess I'll try

    We're breaking up, you're moving out, on Saturday
    I'm losing friends, I'm losing face, I'm losing weight
    So get your things out of my place on Saturday
    On Saturday, on Saturday, on Saturday

    Not Anti-Love its more masochistic love that you need to get away from


    Christina Aguilera - Walk Away

    What do you do when you know something's bad for you
    And you still can't let go?

    I was naive
    Your love was like candy
    Artificially sweet
    I was deceived by the wrapping

    Got caught in your web
    And I learned how to bleed
    I was prey in your bed
    And devoured completely

    And it hurts my soul
    Cause I can't let go
    All these walls are caving in
    I can't stop my suffering
    I hate to show that I've lost control
    Cause I, I keep going right back
    To the one thing that I need to walk away from

    I need to get away from ya
    I need to walk away from ya
    Get away, walk away, walk away

    I should have known
    I was used for amusement
    Couldn't see through the smoke
    It was all an illusion

    Now I've been licking my wounds (licking my wounds)
    But the venom seeps deeper(deeper, deeper)
    We both can seduce
    but darling you hold me prisoner (prisoner)

    I'm about to break
    I can't stop this ache
    I'm addicted to your allure
    And I'm fiendin' for a cure
    Every step I take
    Leads to one mistake
    I keep going right back
    To the one thing that I need

    I can't mend
    This torn state I'm in
    Getting nothing in return
    What did I do to deserve
    The pain of this slow burn
    And everywhere I turn
    I keep going right back
    To the one thing that I need to walk away from

    I need to get away from ya
    I need to walk away from ya

    Every time I try to grasp for air
    I get smothered in despair, it's never over, over
    Seems I'll never wake from this nightmare,
    I let out a silent prayer
    Let it be over, over

    Inside I'm screaming
    Begging, pleading
    No more

    I don't know what to do
    My heart has been bruised
    So sad but it's true
    Each beat reminds me of you

    It hurts my soul
    Cause I can't let go
    All these walls are caving in
    I can't stop my suffering
    I hate to show that I've lost control
    Cause I
    I keep going right back
    To the one thing that I need, oh

    I'm about to break
    And I can't stop this ache
    I'm addicted to your allure
    And I'm fiendin' for a cure
    Every step I take
    Leads to one mistake
    I keep going right back
    To the one thing that I need, Oh

    I can't mend
    This torn state I'm in
    Getting nothing in return
    What did I do to deserve
    The pain of this moment
    And everywhere I turn
    I keep going right back
    To the one thing that I need to walk away from

    I say
    I need to get away from ya
    I need to walk away from ya
    Get away, walk away, walk away

    Only thing I need to do is walk away

    I need to get away from ya
    I need to walk away from ya
    Get away, walk away, walk away

    I need to get away from ya
    I need to walk away from ya
    Get away, walk away, walk away

    I need to get away from ya
    I need to walk away from ya
    Get away, walk away, walk away

    How could I forget:

    Cee Lo Green

    I see you driving 'round town
    With the girl i love and i'm like,
    "Forget" you!
    Oo, oo, ooo
    I guess the change in my pocket
    Wasn't enough i'm like,
    "Forget" you!
    And "Forget" her too!

    The problem is all inside your head", she said to me
    The answer is easy if you take it logically
    I'd like to help you in your struggle to be free
    There must be fifty ways to leave your lover

    She said it's really not my habit to intrude
    Furthermore, I hope my meaning won't be lost or misconstrued
    But I'll repeat myself, at the risk of being crude
    There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
    Fifty ways to leave your lover

    You just slip out the back, Jack
    Make a new plan, Stan
    You don't need to be coy, Roy
    Just get yourself free
    Hop on the bus, Gus
    You don't need to discuss much
    Just drop off the key, Lee
    And get yourself free

    Ooo slip out the back, Jack
    Make a new plan, Stan
    You don't need to be coy, Roy
    Just listen to me
    Hop on the bus, Gus
    You don't need to discuss much
    Just drop off the key, Lee
    And get yourself free

    She said it grieves me so to see you in such pain
    I wish there was something I could do to make you smile again
    I said I appreciate that and would you please explain
    About the fifty ways

    She said why don't we both just sleep on it tonight
    And I believe in the morning you'll begin to see the light
    And then she kissed me and I realized she probably was right
    There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
    Fifty ways to leave your lover

    You just slip out the back, Jack
    Make a new plan, Stan
    You don't need to be coy, Roy
    Just get yourself free
    Hop on the bus, Gus
    You don't need to discuss much
    Just drop off the key, Lee
    And get yourself free

    Slip out the back, Jack
    Make a new plan, Stan
    You don't need to be coy, Roy
    Just listen to me
    Hop on the bus, Gus
    You don't need to discuss much
    Just drop off the key, Lee
    And get yourself free

    Gonzo reminded me of the recent Train song - Ways to Say Goodbye (which I think was inspired by the movie Happy Gilmore, but that is pure speculation and has no basis in anything)

    "That's cool, but if my friends ask where you are I'm gonna say

    She went down in an airplane
    Fried getting suntanned
    Fell in a cement mixer full of quicksand
    Help me, help me, I'm no good at goodbyes!
    She met a shark under water
    Fell and no one caught her
    I returned everything I ever bought her
    Help me, help me, I'm all out of lies
    And ways to say you died"

    Julia Roberts - Unlove Me

    Unloose this hold you've got on me
    Unlock this heart that can't get free
    Unlive the night you kissed and hugged me
    Undream the dreams that we both shared
    Unfeel the feelin' that you cared
    Before you leave me, please unlove me
    Unlove me
    Unmake all the memories I can't forget
    Unlove me
    Let me go back to the way I was before we met
    Back to the days when I was strong
    When it wasn't sad to be alone
    When I was happy-go-lucky
    And I didn't know how good it felt
    To hold you and feel my heart melt
    Show me a little mercy and unlove me
    Unlove me
    Untie all the strings between your heart and mine
    Unlove me
    But do it real slow, so I don't have to lose you all at one time
    Before you pack your bags and leave
    One thing I wish you'd do for me
    Take a little time to just unlove me
    Unlove me
    Unmake all the memories I can't forget
    Unlove me
    Let me go back to the way I was before we met
    Unlose this hold you've got on me
    Unlock this heart that can't get free
    Before you leave me, please unlove me
    Show a little mercy and unlove me

    FOREIGNER "Cold As Ice"

    You're as cold as ice
    You're willing to sacrifice our love

    You never take advice
    Someday you'll pay the price

    Not really break up songs, but certainly good anti-love songs...

    96 Tears by ? and the Mysterians
    Under My Thumb by Rolling Stones

    And one of my favorite song lyrics of all time, from Crestfallen by Smashing Pumpkins "You were easy, you are forgotten, you are the ways of my mistake."

    I hate the rain and sunny weather
    And I hate beach and mountains too
    (And) I don't like a thing about the city, no, no
    And I, I, I, hate the countryside too!

    And I, hate everything about you!
    ...Everything about you!

    And I don't like a thing about your mother
    And I, I hate your daddy's guts too
    And I don't like a thing about your sister, no, no
    'Cause I, I, I think sex is overrated too

    And I get sick when I'm around, I can't stand to be around
    I hate everything about you!
    Everything about you, everything about you, everything about you!

    Some say I've got a bad attitude
    But that don't change the way I feel about you
    And if you think this might be bringing me down
    Look again 'cause I ain't wearing no frown!

    Well, I don't really care about your sister
    Forget the little *****, 'cause I already kissed her
    One thing that I did to your lady
    I put her on the bed and she didn't say maybe

    I know you know everybody knows
    The way it comes, the way it's gonna go
    You think it's sad
    Well that's too bad
    'Cause I'm havin'
    A ball hatin'
    Every little thing about you! ha-ha!

    Everything about you, everything about
    I get sick when I'm around
    I can't stand to be around

    I hate everything about...

    YOU!

    I like F*** You by Lily Allen. Who doesn't love a peppy little song telling someone off lol.

    Also "Since You've Been Gone" by Kelly Clarkson. That came out around the time my last relationship ended and it was so true. I can breathe for the first time...

    "What's Love Got to Do with It" Tina Turner

    "No More Drama" Mary J. Blige

    "I Changed My Mind" Keyshia Cole

    I need your arms around me,
    I need to feel your touch,
    I need your understanding, I need your love,
    So much,

    You tell me that you love me so,
    You tell me that you care,
    But when I need you, (BABY)
    Baby, (You're never there),

    On the phone,
    Long long distance,
    Always through such,
    Strong resistance,

    When first you say,
    You're too busy,
    I wonder if you,
    Even miss me,

    Never there,
    You're never there,
    You're never, ever,
    Ever ever there,

    A golden bird that flies away,
    A candle's fickle flame,
    To think I held you yesterday,
    Your love was just a game,

    A golden bird that flies away,
    A candle's fickle flame,
    To think I held you yesterday,
    Your love was just a game,

    You tell me that you love me so,
    You tell me that you care,
    But when I need you, (BABY)
    Baby,

    Take the time,
    To get to know me,
    If you want me,
    Why can't you just show me,

    We're always on,
    This roller coaster,
    If you want me,
    Why can't you get closer,

    Never there,
    You're never there,
    You're never, ever,
    Ever ever there,

    Never there,
    You're never there,
    You're never, ever,
    Ever ever there

    "Sick Of You" l
    Your socks they smell, your feet they stink
    You never take a bath
    Your nose it runs, you bust your buns
    You always finish last

    Sick of you, I'm so sick, so sick of you
    Sick of you, I'm so sick, so sick of you

    Your face is gross, you eat white toast
    You don't know what to do
    And just your luck, you really suck
    That's all I'm sick of you

    Sick of you, I'm so sick, so sick of you
    Sick of you, I'm so sick, so sick of you

    Bring it down, I said bring it down, thank you

    Don't you know? So sick of you
    Things you say and things you do
    Don't you know? So sick of you
    Things you say and things you do
    [ From: http://www.elyrics.net ]

    So don't you know? I am so sick of you
    Things you say and all the things you do
    So don't you know? I am so sick of you
    The things you say and all the things you do

    Don't you know? That I'm sick of you
    With all the things you say and the things you do
    Said, don't you know? I'm so sick of you
    With all the things you say and all the things you do

    Sick of you, I'm so sick of you
    Sick of you, I'm so sick of you

    Sick of you, I'm so sick of you
    Sick of you, I'm so sick of you

    Sick of you, I'm so sick of you
    Sick of you, I'm so sick of you

    Human filth, sick

    and

    "(I Hate) Everything About You"
    Every time we lie awake
    After every hit we take
    Every feeling that I get
    But I haven't missed you yet

    Every roommate kept awake
    By every sigh and scream we make
    All the feelings that I get
    But I still don't miss you yet

    Only when I stop to think about it

    I hate everything about you
    Why do I love you
    I hate everything about you
    Why do I love you

    Every time we lie awake
    After every hit we take
    Every feeling that I get
    But I haven't missed you yet
    [ From: http://www.elyrics.net ]

    Only when I stop to think about it

    I hate everything about you
    Why do I love you
    I hate everything about you
    Why do I love you

    Only when I stop to think about you
    I know
    Only when you stop to think about me
    Do you know

    I hate everything about you
    Why do I love you
    You hate everything about me
    Why do you love me

    I hate
    You hate
    I hate you
    Love me!

    I hate everything about you
    Why do I love you
