Lyrics Quiz: Survivor


In honor of the return Survivor last night, I thought I would take the only pop song ever inspired by the show (Destiny Child’s Survivor which they wrote in response that the group kept voting out members like the reality show) and run it through iTunes’ Genius feature and these are the songs that came back. As always leave your guesses, both artist and song title, in the comment section or e-mail me. If you are correct I will un-bold the lyric and give you credit. Please keep in mind the lyrics quiz is for entertainment purposes only so please only use your own meandering mind to guess them.

17. Love, love will come find you, just to remind you of who you are. Love, it will forsake you, threaten to break you. Take what you got.
18. What’s your problem? Let’s resolve it. We can solve it, what’s the causes? It’s official, you got issuses, I got issues.

19. I want your body ‘til the very last drop. I want you to holler, when you want me to stop. And who can love you like me? (Nobody - Keith Sweat; guessed by Doug)

24. I left out in a cloud of taillights and dust. Swore I wasn’t coming back. Said I’d had enough. Saw you in the rear view standing, fading from my life. But I wasn’t turning round. No not this time.
