A lyrics game...Why, Megan, you sly boots...
I have a headache that is so ferocious, it will not allow me to sleep. BUT this unfortunate turn of events will allow me to give you, my wild and crazy and ever-so-intelligent LJ readers, a little entertainment...
So I give you the lyrics, you tell me the song and the artist. I won't give up the answers until Tuesday.
