Comments
One of my favorites
when it comes to love songs is 'Marvelous' by Frank Sinatra. Some other good songs:
Lucky Charm- Stray Cats (more of a fun energetic lust song really but great)
2 become 1- Spice Girls
Isn't it Obvinus- Christina Aguilera
It's True- Ryan Cabrera
Love Fool- The Cardigans (kinda of an anti love song, but most people don't listen that closely to it)
I hope that helps!
Melanie E.
Some of my favourites
My Aprodisiac is You - Katie Melua
Wonderful Tonight - Eric Clapton
From This Moment On - Shania Twain
Without Your Love - Barbra Streisand & Barry Gibb
Breathless - The Corrs
