Please help me make a CD for...

[Ariel Wanna-be]

...my friend who just found out her DH of 12 years has a girlfriend. That revalation led to a whole cartload of other things. Long story short, he's a complete snake in the grass, pathological liar, con artist, and an all-around slime ball. I could go on and on, but I won't.

Anyway, her self-esteem is *completely* shattered, and I'd like to cheer her up with a CD of "Keep your chin up"-ish types of songs. Not any cry-in-your-drink, poor-me songs, but some "girlfriend, you are better off without him" songs. I've thought of a couple, but I'd welcome any more suggestions. She really needs a boost right now.

- "Respect" by Aretha Franklin
- "Hit the Road Jack" by Ray Charles
- "Kiss This" by Aaron Tippin
- "Unwound" by George Strait
- "Before He Cheats" by Carrie Underwood
- "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor

What else?

I feel a whole Lot Better When You're gone (by the Byrds maybe? I know its on Tom Pettys Full Moon Fever CD and he does a great version of it)
here are those lyrics

Tom Petty - Feel A Whole Lot Better Lyrics

The reason why, oh I can't say
I have to let you go babe, and right away
After what you did I can't stay on
And I'll probably feel a whole lot better
When you're gone

Baby for a long time you had me believe
That your love was all mine
And that's the way it would be
But I didn't know that you were puttin' me on
And I'll probably feel a whole lot better
When you're gone

Now I gotta say that it's not like before
And I'm not gonna play your games anymore
After what you did I can't stay on
And I'll probably feel a whole let better
When you're gone

never heard it..but looked it up and found this..
The Salt In My Tears
Song InformationBy: Dolly Parton


I've tried and I've tried for so long to please you
Gave you every bit of my time
Gave you everything I could possibly give you
My body, my heart, and my mind
I turned my family and good friends against me
Listened to my own heart break
And I did it all in the name of love
Gave up myself for your sake
And you never cared about me
You only hurt and deceive
I realize after all of these years
That you ain't worth the salt in my tears
You've cheated, you've lied and you've hurt me
Over and over again
You promised to love me forever
But forever reached a bitter sweet end
Been blinded by love to your actions
But at last I can see my way clear
I've cried and I've tried, and I've tried and I've cried
But you, you've never shed one tear

'Cause you never cared about me
You only hurt and deceive
I realize after all of these years
That you ain't worth the salt in my tears

You ain't worth, you ain't worth the salt in my tears
Treated like dirt, I'm hurt, I ain't hangin' 'round here
You've left me crying, left me crying for years
But you ain't worth the salt in my tears

You never cared about me
You only hurt and decieve
I realize after all of these years
That you ain't worth the salt in my tears
No you ain't worth the salt in my tears

By any chance is your friend the poster who thought her husband of 12 years was cheating when she found a note on a Christmas card while doing laundry?
