Post your favorites here. Be prepared for serious cheesiness, mostly from me 🙂

And what better song to start off with than this one?

Silly Love Songs
Paul McCartney & Wings

You'd think
that people would have had enough of silly love longs
But I look around me and I see it isn't so
Some people wanna fill the world with silly love songs

And what's wrong with that?
I'd like to know 'cause here I go again.

I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you.
I can't explain
the feeling's plain to me
say
can't you see
What's wrong with that?

I need to know 'cause here I go again.
I love you
I love you.
Love doesn't come in a minute

Sometimes it doesn't come at all.
I only know that when I'm in it

It isn't silly
no
it isn't silly
Love isn't silly at all.
How can I tell you about my loved one?
How can I tell you about my loved one?

I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you.
I can't explain
the feeling's plain to me

Say
can't you see?
Ah
he gave me more
he gave it all to me

Say
can't you see?

You'd think
that people would have had enough of silly love songs.

But I look around me and I see it isn't so
oh
no.

Some people wanna fill the world with silly love songs

And what's wrong with that?

(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman
Carole King

Looking out on the morning rain,
I used to feel uninspired.
And when I knew I had to face another day
Lord, it made me feel so tired
Before the day I met you, life was so unkind
But your love was the key to my peace of mind

Cause you make me feel, you make me feel, you make me feel like
A natural woman.

When my soul was in the lost-and-found
You came along to claim it
I didn't know just what was wrong with me
Till your kiss helped me name it
Now I'm no longer doubtful of what I'm living for
Cause if I make you happy, I don't need no more

Oh, baby, what you've done to me
You make me feel so good inside
And I just want to be close to you
You make me feel so alive

Angel Standing By
Jewel

All through the night, I'll be standing over you
All through the night, I'll be watching over you
And through bad dreams, I'll be right there, baby
Holding your hand, telling you everything is all right
And when you cry I'll be right there
Telling you, you were never anything less than beautiful
So don't you worry
I'm your angel standing by

Crash Into Me
Dave Matthews Band

You've got your ball
You've got your chain
Tied to me tight
Tie me up again
Who's got their claws in you my friend?
Into your heart I'll beat again

Sweet like candy to my soul
Sweet you rock and sweet you roll
Lost for you I'm so lost for you
You come crash into me

And I come into you, I come into you
In a boy's dream, in a boy's dream

Touch your lips just so I know
In your eyes, love, it glows so
I'm bare-boned and crazy for you
When you come crash into me, baby
And I come into you
In a boy's dream, in a boy's dream

If I've gone overboard
Then I'm begging you
To forgive me in my haste
When I'm holding you so girl...
Close to me
Oh and you come crash into me, baby
And I come into you

Hike up your skirt a little more
And show the world to me
Hike up your skirt a little more
And show your world to me
In a boy's dream... In a boy's dream

Oh I watch you there through the window
And I stare at you
You wear nothing
But you wear it so well
Tied up and twisted,
The way I'd like to be
For you, for me,
Come crash into me

Every Breath You Take
Police

Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take

I'll be watching you

Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay

I'll be watching you

Oh can't you see?
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take

Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake

I'll be watching you

Since you've gone I been lost without a trace
I dream at night; I can only see your face
I look around but it's you I can't replace
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
I keep crying baby, baby, please

Oh can't you see?
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every breath you take

Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake

Every move you make
Every step you take
I'll be watching you

Everything I Own
Bread

You sheltered me from harm.
Kept me warm, kept me warm
You gave my life to me
Set me free, set me free
The finest years I ever knew
were all the years I had with you

I would give anything I own,
Give up me life, my heart, my home.
I would give everything I own,
just to have you back again.

You taught me how to love,
What its of, what its of.
You never said too much,
but still you showed the way,
and I knew from watching you.
Nobody else could ever know
the part of me that can't let go.

I would give anything I own,
Give up me life, my heart, my home.
I would give everything I own,
just to have you back again.

Is there someone you know,
you're loving them so,
but taking them all for granted.
You may lose them one day,
someone takes them away,
and they don't hear the words you long to say

I would give anything I own,
Give up me life, my heart, my home.
I would give everything I own,
just to have you back again.

Just to touch you once again...

I Second That Emotion
Smoky Robinson

Maybe you want to give me kisses sweet
But only for one night with no repeat
Maybe you'd go away and never call
And a taste of honey is worse than none at all (oh little girl)

Oh little girl, in that case I don't want no part
That would only break my heart
Oh, but if you feel like loving me
If you got the notion
I second that emotion
Said, if you feel like giving me
A lifetime of devotion
I second that emotion

Maybe you think that love would tie you down
You ain't got the time to hang around
Maybe you think that love was made for fools
So it makes you wise to break the rules

Oh little girl, in that case I don't want no part
That would only break my heart
Oh, but if you feel like loving me
If you got the notion
I second that emotion
Said, if you feel like giving me
A lifetime of devotion
I second that emotion

Maybe you want to give me kisses sweet
But only for one night with no repeat
Maybe you'd go away and never call
And a taste of honey is worse than none at all (oh little girl)

Oh little girl, in that case I don't want no part
That would only break my heart
Oh, but if you feel like loving me
If you got the notion
I second that emotion
Said, if you feel like giving me
A lifetime of devotion
I second that emotion

Maybe you think that love would tie you down
You ain't got the time to hang around
Maybe you think that love was made for fools
So it makes you wise to break the rules

Oh little girl, in that case I don't want no part
That would only break my heart
Oh, but if you feel like loving me
If you got the notion
I second that emotion
Said, if you feel like giving me
A lifetime of devotion
I second that emotion

Well, if you feel like giving me
A lifetime of devotion, I second that emotion... (to fade)

I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch)
The Four Tops

Sugar pie, honey bunch
You know that I love you
I can't help myself
I love you and nobody else

In and out my life
You come and you go
Leaving just your picture behind
And I kissed it a thousand times

When you snap your finger or wink your eye
I come a-running to you
I'm tied to your apron strings
And there's nothing that I can do
Can't help myself
No, I cant help myself

Sugar pie, honey bunch
I'm weaker than a man should be
I cant help myself
I'm a fool in love you see

Wanna tell you I don't love you
Tell you that we're through
And I've tried
But every time I see your face
I get all choked up inside

When I call your name
Girl, it starts the flame
Burning in my heart
Tearing it all apart
No matter how I try
My love I cannot hide

'Cause sugar pie, honey bunch
You know that I'm weak for you
Can't help myself
I love you and nobody else

Sugar pie, honey bunch
Do anything you ask me to
Can't help myself
I want you and nobody else

I'll Have to Say I Love You In a Song
Jim Croce

Well, I know it's kind of late
I hope I didn't wake you
But what I got to say can't wait
I know you'll understand
Every time I tried to tell you
The words just came out wrong
So I'll have to say I love you in a song

Yeah, I know it's kind of strange
But every time I'm near you
I just run out of things to say
I know you understand
Every time I tried to tell you
The words just came out wrong
So I'll have to say I love you in a song

Every time the time was right
All the words just came out wrong
So I'll have to say I love you in a song

Yeah, I know it's kind of late
I hope I didn't wake you
But there's something that I just got to say
I know you understand
Every time I tried to tell you
The words just came out wrong
So I'll have to say I love you in a song

I'm Gonna Be (500 miles)
Proclaimers

When I wake up
Yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you
When I go out
Yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you
If I get drunk
Yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you
And if I haver yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's havering to you

But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walked 1000 miles
To fall down at your door

When I'm working
Yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's working hard for you
And when the money comes in
For the work I'll do
I'll pass almost every penny on to you

When I come home
Yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who comes back home to you
And if I grow old
Well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's growing old with you

When I'm lonely
Yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's lonely without you
When I'm dreaming
Yes I know I'm gonna dream
Dream about the time when I'm with you

Layla
Eric Clapton

What'll you do when you get lonely
And nobody's waiting by your side?
You've been running and hiding much too long.
You know it's just your foolish pride.

Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.

I tried to give you consolation
When your old man had let you down.
Like a fool, I fell in love with you,
Turned my whole world upside down.

Let's make the best of the situation
Before I finally go insane.
Please don't say we'll never find a way
And tell me all my love's in vain.

Such a cute song (also on the When Harry Met Sally soundtrack) 😛

Let's Call the Whole Thing Off
Fred Astaire

Things have come to a pretty pass,
Our romance is growing flat,
For you like this and the other
While I go for this and that.

Goodness knows what the end will be;
Oh, I don't know where I'm at...
It looks as if we two will never be one,
Something must be done.

You say either and I say eyether,
You say neither and I say nyther;
Either, eyether, neether, nyther,
Let's call the whole thing off!

You like potato and I like potaeto,
You like tomato and I like tomaeto;
Potato, potaeto, tomato, tomaeto!
Let's call the whole thing off!

But oh! If we call the whole thing off,
Then we must part.
And oh! If we ever part,
Then that might break my heart!

So, if you like pajamas and I like pajahmas,
I'll wear pajamas and give up pajahmas.
For we know we need each other,
So we better call the calling off off.
Let's call the whole thing off!

You say laughter and I say lawfter,
You say after and I say awfter;
Laughter, lawfter, after, awfter,
Let's call the whole thing off!

You like vanilla and I like vanella,
You say parilla and I say parella;
Vanilla, vanella, Chocolate, strawberry!

So, if you go for oysters and I go for orsters
I'll order oysters and cancel the orsters.
For we know we need each other,
So we better call the calling off off!

My Funny Valentine
Frank Sinatra

My funny valentine
Sweet comic valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you're my favorite work of art

Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak?
Are you smart?

But don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay, little valentine... stay
Each day is valentine's day

Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak?
Are you smart?

But don't you change one hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay, little valentine... stay
Each day is valentine's day

Never My Love

You ask me if there'll come a time
when I grow tired of you;
never my love, never my love.

You wonder if this heart of mine
will lose its desire for you;
never my love,
never my love.

What makes you think love will end
when you know that my whole life
depends on you?

You say you fear I'll change my mind
I won't require you,
Never my love,
never my love.

How can you think love will end
when I've asked you to spend your
whole life with me?

Sea of Love
Honeydrippers

Do you remember when we met
That's the day I knew you were my pet
I want to tell you how much I love you

Come with me, my love
To the sea, the sea of love
I want to tell you how much I love you

Come with me, to the sea

Do you remember when we met
That's the day I knew you were my pet
I want to tell you how much I love you

Come with me, to the sea

Come with me, my love
To the sea, the sea of love
I want to tell you how much I love you

Come with me, to the sea

I Feel The Earth Move
Carole King

I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down
I feel my heart start to trembling
Whenever you're around

Ooh, baby, when I see your face
Mellow as the month of May
Oh, darling, I can't stand it
When you look at me that way

I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down
I feel my heart start to trembling
Whenever you're around

Oh, darling, when you're near me
And you tenderly call my name
I know that my emotions
Are something I just can't tame
I've just got to have you, baby

I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down
I just lose control
Down to my very soul
I get a-hot and cold all over
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down,
Tumbling down, tumbling down...

Band Of Gold
Freda Payne

Now that you're gone,
All that's left is a band of gold.
All that's left of the dream I hold
Is a band of gold.
And the memories
Of what love could be
If you were still here with me

You took me
From the shelter of a mother I had never known
Who loved any other
We kissed after taking vows
But that night on our honeymoon
We stayed in separate rooms

I wait
In the darkness of my lonely room
Filled with sadness; filled with gloom
Hoping soon
That you'll walk
Back through that door
And love me
Like you tried before

Since you've been gone
All that's left is a band of gold
All that's left of the dream I hold
Is a band of gold
And the dream of what love could be
If you were still here with me

Ooh, don't you know that I wait
In the darkness of my lonely room
Filled with sadness; filled with gloom
Hoping soon
That you'll walk
Back through that door
And love me
Like you tried before

Since you've been gone
All that's left is a band of gold
All that's left of the dream I hold
Is a band of gold
And the dream of what love could be
If you were still here with me

Old-Fashioned Love Song

Just an old-fashioned love song playin' on the radio
And wrapped around the music is the sound
Of someone promising they'll never go
You swear you've heard it before
As it slowly rambles on and on
No need in bringin' `em back,
`Cause they're never really gone

Just an old-fashioned love song
One I'm sure they wrote for you and me
Just an old-fashioned love song
Comin' down in 3-part harmony

To weave our dreams upon and listen to each evening
When the lights are low
To underscore our love affair
With tenderness and feeling that we've come to know
You swear you've heard it before
As it slowly rambles on and on and
No need in bringin' `em back,
`Cause they're never really gone

Just an old-fashioned love song
Comin' down in 3-part harmony
Just an old-fashioned love song
One I'm sure they wrote for you and me
Just an old-fashioned love song
Comin' down in 3-part harmony
Just an old-fashioned love song
One I'm sure they wrote for you and me

To weave our dreams upon and listening to a song . . .
