A forum search show's the subject is "this ain't love". Not quite sure over the peculiarites of Mudcat with the thread title and subject on thread creation.

There was a previous thread here.

Grace,

There are several methods of finding lyrics.

1 - Listen carefully to the song, over and over. Works much easier now that you can put it onto your computer, and play it over and over.
2 - Pore through the books, until you find it.
3 - Use the various search engines

http://www.google.com
http://www.metacrawler.com
http://www.altavista.digital.com/

Those are three examples of search engines. There are lots more.

Grace, there are several problems here.

One problem is not finding songs for you, it is that you ask them to be e-mailed, instead of finding them in the thread where you asked for it like 99.9% of other requestors.

Another problem is that you do not acknowledge receiving them, in the thread or with a return e-mail of thanks. After awhile, people who are willing to search get tired of doing, for you, things you could do for yourself, when they are not even thanked for their trouble.

A third problem is that when you have been e-mailed to ask you something, you have not replied. It makes me, at least, wonder if you are who you say you are and if that is a valid e-mail address for someone actually requesting songs.

We all have had to learn to use the internet and the tools that run it. You can too. I stopped finding things for you because my time has to go to learning and performing music on a weekly basis. I find things for people who I think may be able to help me find some stuff, too-- not for people who are not willing to learn how to look for themselves and maybe, someday, find things I can use too.

If you have a disability preventing you from doing this yourself, speak up, and people will help. But you need to answer your e-mails, please.
