Nonsensical Song Lyrics:
"One By One"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: We're gonna love one another 'til morning comes
Why They're Nonsensical: Only until the morning? That's some fickle love going on there, unless this is some sort of euphemism for either a one-night stand or escorting.
Submitted by: Devil Jones
| "Believe"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: I need love to feel strong
Why They're Nonsensical: She needs love again??? I thought the whole basis of the song was her ability to keep going without that particular part of her life.

Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics:
"The Way of Love"
The Lyrics: When you meet a boy that you like a lot and you fall in love but he loves you not . . . etc. . . . Then what will you do when he sets you free just the way that you said goodbye to me?
Why: Unless this song is about a lesbian whose girlfriend left her for a man (or a straight woman whose BF just came out) it makes no sense. Starting with the first line the perspective is that of Cher singing to (presumably) a woman, or women in general, about the dangers of fickle men. But at the very last minute the perspective changes to Cher talking to her ex-lover (presumably a man). Additionally, the whole song is a few poorly constructed run-on sentences. This my vote for worst song ever.

Real Places Mentioned in Songs:

Gave him a ride, filled him with a hot meal. I was sixteen; he was twenty-one, He rode with us to Memphis. Why: Refers to the cities of Mobile, Alabama and Memphis, Tennessee.

| "Dark Lady"
The Lyrics: The fortune queen of New Orleans Was brushing her cat in her black limousine On the backseat were scratches from The marks of men her fortune she had won Couldn't see through the tinted glass She said "Home James" and he hit the gas I followed her to some darkened room, She took my money, she said "I'll be with you soon"
Why: "Dark Lady" was a #1 hit song for Cher back in 1974. The opening verse I posted above has a shoutout to New Orleans, a real place.

Upbeat Songs With Depressing Lyrics:
"Believe"
The Lyrics: No matter how hard I try
You keep pushing me aside And I can't break through There's no talkin' to you It's so sad that you're leavin' It takes time to believe it But after all is said and done You're gonna be the lonely one...ohhh Why: It's a pretty upbeat tune for a breakup song, Then again, the woman realizes she's better off after the breakup, so maybe it's appropriate for it to be upbeat. (This song helped me get over a bad breakup.)
