Yes, I ended up including some big hits but they are some of my favorite love songs ever. I used to roll my eyes at love songs. Having a functional relationship has lessened this somewhat. If the song is well written and has good music, I’m all about it. If it’s lyrical drivel about love I’m still rolling my eyes. A jaguar can only change so many spots.
