Didn't I tell you
What I believe?
Did somebody say that
A love like that won't last?

Didn't I give you
All that I've got to give, baby?

I gave you all the love I got
I gave you more than I could give
Gave you love

I gave you all that I have inside
And you took my love
You took my love

I keep crying
I keep trying for you
There's nothing like you and I, baby

This is no ordinary love
No ordinary love
This is no ordinary love

Sade
No ordinary love

BEAVER?? DID YOU SAY BEAVER???

Good morning. This is your final chance of the year to bask in lunar splendor. Tonight is the last supermoon—aka when the moon is full and its orbit is at its closest to Earth—until October 2025. This one is called “Beaver Moon,” because right around now is when beavers fortify their dams for the winter.

MARGARET KNOWS BEST...

WE'RE MALLEABLE
