G A M E: Name That Tune (6)

For this game, I will post song lyrics that have been translated from one language to another. The winner will

* repost the original lyrics (only the portion I have posted is necessary)
* the correct title of the song
* the song's artist

In order to make this a little more challenging, I've used Google Translate. This makes this more of a competition...let's face it, a spot on translation makes it very easy to simply search for the lyrics on Google!

Today's lyrics have been translated from English to Spanish, and they are:

Usted es el que da su amor en cualquier momento que lo necesita

Pero le das la espalda y está listo y funcionando con la gente

Tú eres el que sacrificar algo para complacerlo

¿De verdad crees que él piensa acerca de usted cuando va a salir?

This is a tribute to all of the other lovely ladies here who grew up listening to bad (late) 80s pop music. smile

Can you name that tune? Good luck!

Cold hearted by Paula Abdul

"Cold Hearted" by Paula Abdul en Youtube

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_Hearted

"Cold Hearted" (often mistitled "Cold Hearted Snake") is a single from Paula Abdul's album Forever Your Girl, written and co-produced by Elliot Wolff. It hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the album's third song to top the US chart. "Cold Hearted" became one of Abdul's best known songs for its then streetwise lyrics and provocative music video.

He's a cold-hearted snake

Look into his eyes

Oh oh oh

He's been tellin' lies

He's a lover boy at play

He don't play by rules

Oh oh oh

Girl don't play the fool--no

-

You're the one givin' up the love

Anytime he needs it

But you turn your back and then he's off and runnin' with the crowd

You're the one to sacrifice

Anything to please him

Do you really think he thinks about you when he's out

-

He's a cold-hearted snake

Look into his eyes

Oh oh oh

He's been tellin' lies

He's a lover boy at play

He don't play by rules

Oh oh oh

Girl don't play the fool--no

-

It was only late last night

He was out there sneakin'

Then he called you up to check that you

were waiting by the phone

All the world's a candy store

He's been trick or treatin'

When it comes to true love girl with him there's no one home

-

He's a cold-hearted snake

Look into his eyes

Oh oh oh

He's been tellin' lies

He's a lover boy at play

He don't play by rules

Oh oh oh

Girl don't play the fool--no

-

You could find somebody better girl

He could only make you cry

You deserve somebody better girl

He's c-cold as ice

-

He's a cold-hearted snake

Look into his eyes

Oh oh oh

He's been tellin' lies

He's a lover boy at play

He don't play by rules

-

Oh oh oh

Girl don't play the fool--no

-

He's a cold-hearted snake

Look into his eyes

Oh oh oh

He's been tellin' lies

He's a lover boy at play

He don't play by rules

Oh oh oh

Girl don't play the fool

I didn't actually know the song, I was abroad in the late 80's so it must be one of the many I missed! - galsally, Jan 14, 2011

Well done, Fidgalo! You win! I had guessed a lady would nab this one first, so I am extra-special impressed! grin

The music of the 80's and 90's made me appreciate the music of the 60's and 70's more and inspired me to listen to more jazz from the 40's and 50's. I'd rather listen to classical music than pop music from any period of my life.
