What songs did Mariah Carey sing for Qaddafi's son?
it says $1 million for four songs, but doesn't say which songs...

The Qaddafi family paid Mariah Carey $1 million to sing only four songs at a New Year's Day family bash in the Caribbean, according to American diplomatic cables obtained by WikiLeaks, as picked up by the New York Times.

The singer was hired to perform at a New Year's Day 2009 celebration on the island of St. Barts, according to cables documenting the lavish lifestyle of the family.

And she's not the only celebrity who has performed for the family. A year ago, Beyonce and Usher were reportedly hired to sing at another New Year's family celebration in St. Barts.

The revelations come as the Qaddafi family, led by Libyan leader Muammar el-Qaddafi, is currently enmeshed in a bloody struggle to hold on to power in Libya.

1. I found one called "Can't Let Go."
Seems to fit Muammar's situation:

Chorus
Do you even realize the sorrow I have inside
Everyday of my life
Do you know the way it feels
When all you have just dies
I try and try to deny that I need you
But still you remain on my mind
No I just can�t get you out of my mind
I never can say goodbye
�Cause every night
I see you in my dreams
You�re all I know
I can�t let you go
Even though I try
I can�t let go of something I need so badly
You�re all I know
I can�t let go
