Tracy (also spelled Tracey or Traci or Trasci) is originally a British personal name, that refers to the family de Tracy or de Trasci from Tracy-Bocage in Normandy, France. There are several places called Tracy in Northern France and there are themselves a combination of the Gaulish male 's name Draccios or Latin Thracius and the well identified Celtic suffix -āko (place, property).
While the name is unisex within the United Kingdom it is more generally considered to be a female name. This may, in part, be due to its association with the' Essex Girl'. Particularly during the 1980s, alongside the name Sharon, it was a name considered to be archetypal of the 'Essex Girl'. Its popularity peaked during the 1960s, when Tracey was the sixth most popular female name and the alternate spelling Tracy was the 12th most popular.

Brian Tracy (born January 5, 1944 in Charlottetown, PEI, Canada) is a self-help author and motivational speaker. He serves as Chairman of Brian Tracy International, a human resource company based in Solana Beach, California, with affiliates throughout the United States and thirty-one other countries.
After dropping out of high school before graduation, Tracy got a job on a tramp steamer and traveled around the world for eight years, eventually visiting more than eighty countries on five continents.
When he could no longer find a job as a laborer, he went into sales. Struggling at first, he decided to ask other successful salesmen for advice, and then to emulate them. By the end of his first year, he attained the status of top salesman. After his second year, he was made a Vice President in charge of 95 people. At the time he was only 25 years old.
Beginning in 1981, Tracy assembled his "success system", which was initially called "The Phoenix Seminar." Three years later, in 1985, he released an updated version of this seminar as a self-help audio tape entitled "The Psychology of Achievement".
Tracy Chapman (born March 30, 1964) is an American singer-songwriter, best known for her singles "Fast Car", "Talkin' 'bout a Revolution", "Baby Can I Hold You", "Crossroads", "Give Me One Reason" and "Telling Stories". She is a multi-platinum and four-time Grammy Award-winning artist.
Tracy Chapman was born in Cleveland, Ohio. She was raised by her mother, who recognized Tracy's love of music and, despite not having much money, bought her a ukulele when she was just three. Chapman began playing guitar and writing songs at the age of eight. She says that she may have been first inspired to play the guitar by the television show Hee Haw.
Chapman was raised Baptist and went to an Episcopal high school. She was accepted into the program "A Better Chance", which helps minority students attend private schools. She graduated from Wooster School in Connecticut, then attended Tufts University. She graduated with a B.A. degree in anthropology and African studies.
In the mid-1990s, Chapman dated author Alice Walker. Chapman maintains a strong separation between her personal and professional lives. “I have a public life that’s my work life and I have my personal life,” she said. “In some ways, the decision to keep the two things separate relates to the work I do."

Tracy, when I'm with you
Something you do
Bounces me off the ceiling
Tracy, day after day
When your this way
I get a lovin' feelin'
Come with me
Don't say no
Hold me close
Tracy never let go
Tracy, your gonna be
Happy with me
I'll build a world around you
Filled with love everywhere
And when your there
You'll be so glad I found you
Come with me
Don't say no
Hold me close
Tracy, never never, ever let me go
(Repeat intro "BA-ba's twice)
(Repeat 2nd Chorus line and add...
Tracy never let me go
When you left me,
You never said goodbye.
Nobody told me,
The reason why.
And when you left me,
A little part of me died.
Would you think less of me now
If I broke down and cried?
Nothing they give me
Will take away this pain
I drunk myself stupid
Again and again and again and again.
And all of my days,
And nights they end the same:
I go to bed happy,
And wake up in pain!!
I'm lonely baby,
Why'd you have to go??
I'm lonely without you (Tracy!)
Cant live without you (Tracy!)
Don't wanna make it on my own
I'm nothin without you (Tracy!)
Go nowhere without you (Tracy!)
Dont wanna live if I'm alone
Well the smile on your face,
Will never be replaced
I'll be grim forever more.
(solo)
I'm lonely baby,
Why'd you have to go??
I'm lonely without you (Tracy!)
Cant live without you (Tracy!)
Don't wanna make it on my own
I'm nothin without you (Tracy!)
Go nowhere without you (Tracy!)
Dont wanna live if I'm alone.
Well the smile on your face,
Will never be replaced
I'll be grim forever more.
When you left me,
You never said goodbye.
Nobody told me,
The reason why.
I'm lonely without you (Tracy!)
Cant live without you (Tracy!)
Don't wanna make it on my own
I'm nothin without you (Tracy!)
Go nowhere without you (Tracy!)
Don't wanna live if I'm alone.
Well the smile on your face,
Will never be replaced
And all the things that people do
And say from day to day
They seem so meaningless to me
Since you were taken away
My life is grim and lame and sore
I don't know if I can make you mine
I don't know for sure if love is blind
Have a heart girl, let me spoil you once for a day
You may be smart, you've got the brains
But I've got adrenaline in my veins
If you want to, I could try to make you stay
We can do things you like to do
Go see a play and a movie too
We could stop for a takeaway
And if you don't have fun
You could walk away
But if you do
You'll miss what I have to say
I said Tracy, come on Tracy
You could love me if you try
I wanna sleep with you tonight
I may be dumb, but then I ain't no troglodyte
Sometimes you make me wonder why
Sometimes I think it's do or die
Let me show you, why don't you give me a break
I see that you're having second thoughts
You look at the roses that I bought
I hear you sigh which means that you don't really know what to say
We can do things you like to do
Go see a play and a movie too
It'll be like a holiday
And if you don't have fun
You could walk away
But if you do
You'll miss what I have to say
I said Tracy, come on Tracy
You could love me if you tried
I wanna sleep with you tonight
I may be dumb, but then I ain't no troglodyte
We can do things you like to do
Go see a play and a movie too
Or go to a cabaret
And if you don't have fun
You could walk away
But if you do
You'll miss what I have to say
I said Tracy, come on Tracy
You could love me if you tried
I wanna sleep with you tonight
I may be dumb, but then I ain't no troglodyte
I said Tracy, come on Tracy
You could love me like I am
You know that I don't give a damn
Look Tracy, how you doing? I ain't seen you for years
Are you married yet? Any kids? Tell me how it;s going
I cried so much when I heard you was going
And my eyes hurt alot when I heard you was going
While you reading this grab a tissue and smile
And look at our pictures from school and just smile
You had the cutest smile
I won't lie, I pictured you walking down the aisle
We could have been so happy together
I wonder if your parents didnt want us together?
Beautiful, silly at times but real clever
I won't be surprised if I dont see you, ever
But that is the reason I wrote this letter
And if you write back I'd feel ten times better
I know good things come to an end
But sometimes its like the wrong things end.
Chorus:
Oh Tracy, when im sad i think back
I get the sweetest memories running through my head, so write back
Oh baby when i see us together, our love will never leave
I wanna feel it forever so baby come with me
Lets run away ay ay ay ay ay [x4]
I didn't get a chance to tell you how i felt
Only my mum knew how i really felt
My heart was crushed and broke into two
I wish i could turn back time just for you
Its funny how i see all these girls and dont care
They know to do music for me, I dont care
Girls like you come rare, I mean it
And you dont even have to show it 'cause I believe it
I made a promise to you and didn't get to keep it
Best friends forever, remember, forever.
I need you forever, I'll keep you forever
But now it's never and I feel so down
My love's so strong, I need yours now
Without you I feel like I'm just down
Could have travelled the world together up and down
I love you babe, so tell me how you feel right about now
Chorus:
Oh Tracy, when I'm sad I think back
I get the sweetest memories running through my head, so write back
Oh baby when I see us together, our love will never leave
I wanna feel it forever so baby come with me
Lets run away ay ay ay ay ay [x4]
Oh Tracy, when I'm sad I think back
I get the sweetest memories running through my head, so write back
Oh baby when I see us together, our love will never leave
I wanna feel it forever so baby come with me.
gonna tell you all a story now
about a girl that lives in my own town
if god had meant for twins she might be me
from the moment that she wakes up
she starts taking on my life
and she plays the role so well I can't believe
she's outrageous - she's contagious
and there's really not a lot that I can do
her name is Tracy - she's on the second floor
twenty-four-seven she tries to live my life
hello Tracy - I hear you through the door
and I don't even think you know just who you are
now she dresses just the way I do
changed her hair 'cause I did too
from her head down to her ugly little toes
and she's hittin' on this guy I like
knowin' that it's all in spite
I really think she's tryin' to freak me out
she's outrageous - she's contagious
and there's really not a lot that I can do
her name is Tracy - she's on the second floor
twenty-four-seven she tries to live my life
hello Tracy - I hear you through the door
and I don't even think you know just who you are
if you would only tell me who you are
maybe then I'd understand
all the mess you made
you can't hide away
Tracy - she's on the second floor
twenty-four-seven she tries to live my life
Tracy
Tracy - I hear you through the door
and I don't even think you know just who you are
the red light shines in back of me and im tired of satans company and its bed time for the troubled sea thats been raging and pouring out of me well i found them beneath the marble stairs an they asked me if anyone who cares would join them for lunch with brandied pears bring tracy we have her missing tears chasing tracy is all i do tracys rotten all the way through captain killjoy said that it was true two lovers lost and searching for sat naked on the casino floor be brave boy show your broken wings but dont listen it hurts when tracy sings chasing tracy is all i do tracys rotten all the way through captain killjoy said that it was true dont know what to do well i waited beneath the giving tree and wondered if it would set me free rest gentle beneath the emerald sea theres tracy cool hands of mercury chasing tracy is all i do tracys rotten all the way through captain killjoy said that it was true dont know what to do
We gotta... we gotta do something about this.
When do you think you could make it over here? How long?
I could try and get... 45 minutes maybe.
Right.
I'll try.
OK.
But we got to sort this out.
OK. I'm just gonna go, I'm going to head off just now and just try to speak to some people about this.
Well you got to do something.
Yeah.
Cause if we don't take care of this then... I don't even want to think about it. Hello.
Hi Colin.
Hiya.
It's Martin.
Hi Martin.
I'm sorry to bother you.
It's alright.
But we've got a bit of a sketch going on here.
What? What?
Well, it's pretty hard to explain.
So tell us. What?
Right. We were down at Vics and Stuart and Dominic got into a bit of a row.
Hmm hmm
And Stuart was getting a bit stroppy with Dominic and it ended up with Dominic punching Stuart and walking out.
Hmm hmm
Saying he's not coming back. Stuart's saying that he's out and stuff like that.
Right.
Stuart's away as well.
Where's Stuart away to?
He just phoned his dad and left.
And is John still there?
No he went away with Stuart for some reason. To try and calm him down or something. It was a full bloody sketch man. I don't know what to do. We've this thing on Tuesday.
Right. Kind of limited to what I can do. ??????
Tracy, if we make it, we'll make a difference
Clocks will make it hard, carve numbers in our age
Let's start running backwards like our brothers
From our neighbourhood
They'll say we are dancing, but we aren't
You revolt!
You revolt!
Reversed began racing, became heroes
You clutched someone else's hand
Saw grandeur in your eyes
Matching bandage, kids followed, now we were leaders
But we drowned in the sound of marching, of marching
Yeah, we drowned in the sound of marching
If you don't know where you're going
In the dark side of our brains
Can be hidden cruel desires
Sodomy, blood, death and sadism
It's so good to turn them into reality
Tracy you hurt me and broke my heart
Don't giving me pleasure acting so coldly
Putting my lust and feelings apart
Tracy I loved you and didn't wanna do it
Your rotten flesh is now so sweet
Too cold you are driving me to a intense orgasm
Licking your body I realize my dream
Why did you force me to kill?
You lied to me
And just now I can see it
You closed your legs
But I couldn't resist
Now I remember that night of lust
When you gave me your last scorn
Was so tasty to see you dying
And your last breath when
You looked to me
With blood in your eyes
Slowly your flesh
Look tracy how you doing I ain't seen you for years
Are you married yet any kids? tell me how it's going
I cried so much when I heard you was going
My eyes hurt alot when I heard you was going
Why you reading this grab a tissue and smile
Look at our pictures from school and just smile
You had the cutest smile
I won't lie I pictured you walkin down the aisle
We coulda been so happy together
I wonder if your parents didn't want us together
Beautiful silly at times but real clever
I won't be surprised if I don't see you ever
But that is the reason I wrote this letter
And if you wrote back id feel ten times better
I no good things come to an end but sometimes it's like the wrong things end
[Chorus:]
Okay, when I'm sad I think back
I get the sweetest memories running through my head, so write back
Ah babe when I see us together our love will never leave
I wanna feel it forever so baby come with me
Let's run away ay ay ay ay ay [x4]
I didn't get a chance to tell you how I felt
Only my mum knew how I really felt
My heart was crushed and broke into two
I wish I could turn back time jus for you
It's funny how I see all these girls and don't care
They know to do music for me and don't care
Girls like you come rare I mean it and you don't even have 2 show it cause I beleve it

Best friends forever, remember, forever
