One song I didn't include in this week's Thursday Thirteen list is Marcus' and my song. It's by Bad Company called "How About That" from the album Here Comes Trouble. It was in the rotation on 106.7 KAZY when Marcus and I first got together in 1992. Sadly, not too many people remember it. In fact, on the official Bad Company site, they don't even list the album on the discography page.

As I read through the lyrics, it strikes me how much this is still "our song" today after 14 years together. Marcus and I truly are best friends. I can't speak for him, but the room still brightens up for me the minute I catch a glimpse of him. We enjoy spending time together, but we still understand that each of us needs our own space to be ourselves. We could've have picked a better song back then.

Anyway, here it is if you want to hear it:

Bad Company - "How About That"


How About That
by Bad Company

Last night, when the moon was new, I couldn't sleep, I was thinkin' of you
And how much I need ya, how about that

I act like I'm tougher than steel
With a heart like a stone, but you know it ain't real
I need you baby, how about that, hey

Oooh, how about that

I used to spend my life on the town, it took your lovin' to turn me around
I'm crazy about you, how about that

People used to tell ya I'm a crazy fool
But you taught me more than I could learn in school, I say
I really need ya, baby, how about that

If ever you need time and space
Don't run away, just tell me face to face, yeah

Oooh, how about that, how 'bout that, oooh, how about that, baby
Oooh, how about that, yeah alright, oh baby

(Solo)

When I think back of how it used to be, before we met it's just a mystery
I can't live without you, no, how about that

And you got my heart and you got my soul
Ooh you got my whole life under control
Looks like we made it, yeah, how about that, ooh yeah

And everytime I see your face, it lightens up the whole damn place
Yeah, I wanna see this whole thing through
Yeah, there's nothing I won't do for you, oh yeah

Oooh, how about that, how 'bout it, baby
Oooh, how about that, yeah, t-tell me
Oooh, how about that, how 'bout it, baby, oooh, yeah

Last night, when the moon was new
I couldn't sleep, I was there, lookin' at you
Yeah I'm glad that I found you, how about that, hey

Everytime I see your face, it lightens up the whole damn place
Yeah, I wanna see this whole thing through
Yeah, I wanna spend my life with you, oh yeah

Oooh, how about that, hey, how 'bout it baby
Oooh, how about that, t-tell me
Oooh, how about that, tell me baby
Oooh, how about that, baby yeah
Oooh, hey how about that, how about that, how about it baby
Oooh, yeah how about that, oh, oh...
