When the sun shines
We'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath
I'm gonna stick it out 'till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella

Songwriter Tom Higgenson
Hey there Delilah
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be making history like I do
You know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here's to you
3. Taylor Swift - Teardrops On My Guitar

Songwriters Taylor Swift, Liz Rose
Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see
That I want and I'm needing everything that we should be
I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about
And she's got everything that I have to live without
4. Mika - Grace Kelly

I tried to be like Grace Kelly
But all her looks were too sad
So i tried a little Freddy
I've gone identity mad!!
5. Colbie Caillat - Bubbly

Songwriters Colbie Caillat, Jason Reeves
It starts in my toes
And I crinkle my nose
Where ever it goes
I always know
That you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Where ever you go
6. Maroon 5 - Wake Up Call
Courtesy A&M Records
Songwriters Adam Levine, James Valentine
Wake up call
Caught you in the morning with another one in my bed
Don't you care about me anymore?
Don’t you care about me? I don't think so
Six foot tall
Came without a warning so I had to shoot him dead
He won't come around here anymore
Come around here? I don’t feel so bad
7. Pink - Who Knew
Courtesy La Face Records
Songwriters Luke Gottwald, Max Martin, Pink
If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
Cause they're all wrong
I know better
Cause you said forever
And ever
Who knew
8. My Chemical Romance - Teenagers
Courtesy Reprise Records
Songwriters My Chemical Romance
They say, Oh
Teenagers scare the living shit outta me
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes
Or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me
9. Britney Spears - Piece of Me
Courtesy Jive Records
Songwriters Christian Karlsson, Pontus Winnberg, Klas Åhlund
I’m Mrs. lifestyles of the rich and famous
You want a piece of me?
I’m Mrs. Oh my God that Britney’s shameless
You want a piece of me?
I’m Mrs. Extra! Extra! this just in
You want a piece of me?
I’m Mrs. she’s too big now she’s too thin
You want a piece of me?
10. Daughtry - Home

Songwriter Chris Daughtry
I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me
I'm not running from
No, I think you got me all wrong
I don't regret this life I chose for me
