The Police's, "Can't Stand Losing You"
The Lyrics:
You can call it lack of confidence,
but to carry on living doesn't make no sense.
but to carry on living doesn't make no sense.
Why:
Sting's thinking suicide. Simple as that.

The Police's, "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic"
The Lyrics:
I resolve to call her up a thousand times a day
And ask her if shell marry me in some old fashioned way
But my silent fears have gripped me
Long before I reach the phone
Long before my tongue has tripped me
Must I always be alone?
And ask her if shell marry me in some old fashioned way
But my silent fears have gripped me
Long before I reach the phone
Long before my tongue has tripped me
Must I always be alone?
Why:
Cheerful little number in the chorus, but in this section of the song, Sting reveals quite explicitly that his nerves prevent him from even giving this admired lady a telephone call. Poor, shy Sting! :)
