It's been a while... let's play the Galactic Pot Healer Babel Fish Game!

You know the rules. Or, if you don't, then here they are:

1. Run some song lyrics through through the Babel Fish Translator to convert it from English to some other language.
2. Take that result and run it through the translator, going from your second language back to English.
3. Post the result here and let us try to guess the original song.
4. Have much fun.

I stay up too late, have nothing in my brain
That is what say mmm, this is what people say mmm
I too many dates, but I can't make them remain
At least that's what people say mmm, this is what people say mmm

Greetings from the other side
I have called thousands of times
To tell you, I am sorry for what I did
but I bring you never seem to be home

I walk through the Valley of the shadow of death that looks at my life and realize nothing is left
That is going to laugh 'cause I'm a blast, so long, but my mom is gone in my mind

I kind of like this one. I want to sit in my man's plan.

Or do I?

I tried taking out the contractions, but no dice.

No matter, though. Japanese came to my rescue.
