Every day I hear a different story,
People say that you’re no good for me.
Saw your lover with another
And he’s making a fool of you, oh.
If you loved me, baby, you’d deny it
But you laugh and tell me I should try it.
Tell me I’m a baby and I don’t understand.But you know that I’ll forgive you
Just this once, twice, forever
‘cos, baby, you could drag me to hell and back
Just as long as we’re together – and you do.I don’t want your freedom, I don’t want to play around.
I don’t want nobody, baby, part time love just brings me down.
I don’t need your freedom, girl, all I want right now is you.Like a prisoner who has his own key
But I can’t escape until you love me.
I just go from day to day knowing all about the other boys.
You take my hand and tell me I’m a fool to give you all that I do.
I bet you, someday, baby, someone says the same to you.
But you know that I’ll forgive you just this once, twice, forever …I don’t want your freedom, I don’t want to play around. …
Can’t you see I’m hurting, baby,
You’re hurting me, baby, hurting me, baby.
You’re hurting me, baby, hurting me, baby.
But you know that I’ll forgive you just this once, twice, forever …I don’t want your freedom, I don’t need to play around. …
I don’t want your freedom, I don’t want to play around. …

Paul Hardcastle ’19’
Well the song suits me much as it’s mainly about military combat, politics, history. Well I’m from military background, now would like to join militart, politics I study it much and history is my favourite. The views expressed in the song, they’re the same which I have:)A little something about Paul Hardcastle
Paul Hardcastle has put together an impressive career as a producer with his own Fast Forward record label, and as a composer scoring video and film works. He also enjoyed a brief period of pop fame, when in 1985 he had a surprise number 1 hit (UK) with “19.” “19” was an interesting combination of preachy spoken word, testimonials, looping news reports, synths and heavy beats, concerning a subject that dominated music two decades earlier: the Vietnam War. The number nineteen was significant in the song as the reported “average age” of the combat soldier during the conflict. While those of us who were of high school age (or there-abouts) at the time were not terribly concerned with the political fallout that surrounded the Vietnam war, there was so little popular music with socio-political messages in 1985 that we really latched on to it. Plus for some reason it felt really cool to repeat the line “I wasn’t really sure what was going on.”19
In 1965 Vietnam seemed like just another foreign war,
but it wasn’t.
It was different in many ways, as so were those that did the fighting.
In World War II the average age of the combat soldier was 26…
In Vietnam he was 19.
In inininininin Vietnam he was 19.(TV announcer’s voice)
The shooting and fighting of the past two weeks continued today
25 miles west of Saigon
I really wasn’t sure what was going on (Vet’s Voice)Nininini Nineteen, 19, Ni-nineteen 19
19,19,19,19In Vietnam the combat soldier typically served a twelve month tour of duty but
was exposed to hostile fire almost everyday
Ninininininininininin 19 nininininninin 19Hundreds of Thousands of men who saw heavy combat in Vietnam were arrested since discharge Their arrest rate is almost twice that of non-veterans of the same age.
There are no accurate figures of how many of these men have been incarcerated.
But, a Veterans Administration study concludes that the greater of Vets
exposure to combat could more likely affect his chances of being arrested or convicted.This is one legacy of the Vietnam War
(Singing Girls)
All those who remember the war
They won’t forget what they’ve seen..
Destruction of men in their prime
whose average was 19

War, WarAfter World War II the Men came home together on troop ships, but the Vietnam
Vet often arrived home within 48 hours of jungle combat
Perhaps the most dramatic difference between World War II and Vietnam was
coming home.. .none of them received a hero’s welcome
None of them received a heroes welcome, none of them, none of them
Nenene Nenene None of them, none of them, none of them (etc…)
None of them received a hero’s welcome
None of them received a hero’s welcomeAccording to a Veteran’s Administration study
Half of the Vietnam combat veterans suffered from what Psychiatrists call
Post-Traumatic-Stress-Disorder
Many vets complain of alienation, rage, or guilt
Some succumb to suicidal thoughts
Eight to Ten years after coming home almost eight-hundred-thousand men are
still fighting the Vietnam War(Singing Girls)

When we came back it was different.. Everybody wants to know “How’d it
happened to those guys over there
There’s gotta be something wrong somewhere
We did what we had to do
There’s gotta be something wrong somewhere
People wanted us to be ashamed of what it made us
Dad had no idea what he went to fight and he is now
All we want to do is come home
All we want to do is come home
What did we do it for
All we want to do is come home
Was it worth it?

Whitney Houston – I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me).
Hmm… not sure what I think of that… could be worse though.
