That is NOT a love song

I am often shocked at what song some couples give as "their song". More often than not I think...what the? That is NOT a love song. OK - for example. "Every Breath You Take" by The Police. That song is about a stalker. True.
Here are the lyrics....
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've 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 step you take.
Every move you make.
Every vow you break.
Every smile you fake.
Every claim you stake.
I'll be watching you.
Every move you make.
Every step you break.
I'll be watching you.
I'll be watching you...
Creeeepy huh? Not the sultry love song that some may have thought. Or how about "Crash" by Dave Matthews Band. Uh folks....this song is about a peeping tom.
Here are the lyrics.....
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 boys dream.
In a boys 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 boys dream.
In a boys 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 boys dream.. in a boys 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.
Or my personal favorite, that I actually heard at a wedding as the newlywed's First Dance "Only You" by Yaz. This is a BREAK UP song for Pete's sake. In the category of ironic....They are divorced now.
Here are the lyrics....
Looking from a window above.
It's like a story of love.
Can you hear me.
Came back only yesterday.
I'm moving further away.
Want you near me.
All I needed was the love you gave.
All I needed for another day.
And all I ever knew.
Only you.
Sometimes when I think of her name.
When it's only a game.
And I need you.
Listen to the words that you say.
It's getting harder to stay.
When I see you.
All I needed was the love you gave.
All I needed for another day.
And all I ever knew.
Only you.
This is going to take a long time.
And I wonder what's mine.
Can't take no more.
Wonder if you'll understand.
It's just the touch of your hand.
Behind a closed door.
All I needed was the love you gave.
All I needed for another day.
And all I ever knew.
Only you.
