I’m not a person that uses that word casually. In fact if I tell you that I love you then I truly mean it. No cutesy I luv u and all that crap lol. If I love you whether it be in a romantic sense, a sisterly/brotherly sense or a familial one. Please know when I say it I truly do mean it. So to all the folks I love… I love you… to all the folks I like, I like you lol and happy let me try to impress someone and go buy them a card and some chocolate and something ugly and heartshaped from kay/friedmands/jarrods/cheap local jewelry store and show that I like them alot day lol
now on to the meme
Top Fourteen for Valentine’s Day….
my top 14 love songs (in no particular order)
1. “Forever Mine” O’Jays
This song I like for special reasons. Of course this was out before my time. And because it’s by the O’Jays it’s got a whole lot of oohs and ahhs and yeah baby’s in it lol. But this was the song my mom and dad danced to at their wedding. My mom could be half sleep or in a grumpy mood and whenever I play it she smiles and starts reminiscing and sharing stories about her and my dad….
Forever mine
All because, you’re my kind,
I got what you want
You got what I want….
Forever mine
Oh we’re, we’re one of a kind
I need what you need
You need what I need
And we were made for each other
Aww. Let’s move on.
2. “We Must Be In Love” Pure Soul
Another sentimental one. This was sang by the group at my sisters wedding and then they did their first dance to this.
‘Cause you, you are
You are just the one
I want to spend the rest of my life with
You are just the one to bring out the very best in me
You make me so happy
Happy forever
And that’s a mighty long time
3. “Crazy Love” Brian McKnight
I really like this song. Especially because it’s not about a truly crazy person. But just kind of how she makes him crazy in a good way lol
I can hear her heart beat for a thousand miles
And the heavens open up every time she smiles
And when I come home to her that’s where I belong
Yet I’m running to her like a river’s song
she gives me love love love love crazy love
she gives me love love love love crazy love
4. “Embrasse-moi” Les Nubians
This is just a beautiful song in general. I’ve always loved the beat and what they are saying. It’s very sensual. Even if they were saying nonsense the fact that it’s in french just makes it sexy lol. This song also reminds me of this guy that I was driving in my car who was slightly intoxicated and began singing this in French lol. I’d post the lyrics but they are in french lol
5. “At Last” Etta James
The first section of this song makes it perfect. Of course the rest of the song really expresses in a simplistic way how love can make you feel and what more could you want?
At last
my love has come along
my lonely days over
and life is like a song
6. “I’m Ready for love” India.Irie
I have no idea why I feel like crying everytime I hear this song. Doesn’t matter if I’m single or in a relationship it’s something about the words and the way she sings it that makes me sort of exhale. And the voice from which this song is sung can be interpreted in soo many ways. Again I really love this song 
Lately I’ve been thinking
Maybe you’re not ready for me
Maybe you think I need to learn maturity
They say watch what you ask for
Cause you might receive
But if you ask me tomorrow
I’ll say the same thing
7. “Never Felt This Way” Brian McKnight
this song just describes how you feel when you get that warm fuzzy nervous feeling inside and you are all smiling thinking about that persin in your head lol.
How it takes my breath
Starts a pounding in my chest
Make me weak, when I think about you
Makes me want to give my all
Life wouldn’t mean a thing
Not a happy song to sing
Just emptiness if I had to live without you
When I look into your eyes
Then I realize
That all I need is you in my life
All I need is you in my life
I swear fo gawd (as my granny used to say) if a dude said anything remotely close to this to me I’d be in the kitchen every morning kneading dough making him biscuits lol
8. “Head Over Feet” Alanis Morrissette
Not your typical love song but I love her hesitancy about love but her willingness to accept it and place blame on him
You treat me like I’m a princess I’m not used to liking that You ask how my day was….
You’ve already won me over in spite of me
Don’t be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don’t be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn’t help it
It’s all your fault
9. “Be Good To You” Vivian Green
Not your conventional love song. But still one I like. It’s a love song for the once scorned…
I’ll never hurt you
And you will never shed a tear for me
I know you’re tired of
Being in and out of love with nothing to show,
And nowhere to go, but
Back to the same one only with a different face
But now you are in a different place
And if my words don’t comfort you
Time will surely prove,
That I’ll do just what I say
I’ll only be good to you
Be like I should to you…
10. “In a Sentimental Mood” Duke Ellington and John Coltrane
This song has no words at all. But to me just oozes love and romance. I can listen to it and drift and place myself in different situations at different times and it just makes me think of love and all that it embodies.
11. “He Loves Me” Jill Scott
This song just makes me smile. She loves everything about him and she loves him soo much he makes her burst into chorus. That my friend is some love lol
You love me especially different every time
You keep me on my feet happily excited
By your cologne, your hands, your smile, your intelligence
You woo me, you court me, you tease me, you please me
You school me, give me some things to think about
Ignite me, you invite me, you co-write me, you love me, you like me
You incite me to chorus
12. “If this world were mine” Luther (no last name needed)
Did yall think I’d do a list without including him on here. I was late to this song. Heard it on a soundtrack, but after that I’ve loved it ever since. What you know about giving someone the flowers the birds AND the bees lol.
I’d give your each day so sunny and blue
And if you wanted the moonlight
I’d give you that too
If this world were mine, oh, baby
I’d give you anything
13. “Kiss of Life” Sade
I remember hearing this song in like 5th/6th grade like wow thats deep. Then my cousins boyfriend used to play it to her on her answering machine. Then when I grew up and heard the lyrics I realized what a beautiful song it really is
When I was led to you
I knew you were the one for me
I swear the whole world could feel my heartbeat
When I lay eyes on you
Ay ay ay
You wrapped me up in
The color of love
14. “You Got Me” The Roots feat. Erykah Badu
This one is a flashback song. This was me and my boo boo in high schools little song. Why this was our song I’m really not sure. Because I definitely wasn’t in any clubs with my homies (okay yes I was but he didn’t see me there). But this was our song *rolleyes*
If you were worried ’bout where
I been or who I saw or
what club I went to with my homies
baby don’t worry you know that you got me
I hope everyone has a wonderful day. Even though I don’t “celebrate” make sure you let someone know you love them tomorrow
