Songs I Wish Were Written About Me...

I Need Love (LL Cool J)- The ultimate couple's skate song at the roller rink. A heartfelt and touching song. To be the girl that could melt a tough guy's heart so thoroughly, is an amazing thing.

Something/Layla (George Harrison/Eric Clapton)- A 2 for 1. Who wouldn't want to be Patti Hansen getting two songs written about them? And, two amazing songs written about them? Two really great songs in totally different styles.

Lay Lady Lay (Bob Dylan)- Dylan is the ultimate "hey babe, I wrote this song just for you" guy. But what girl wouldn't melt to "his clothes are dirty but his hands are clean/ and your the best thing that he's ever seen"?

When I Fall in Love (it will be forever) (Stevie Wonder)- Stevie wrote a lot of really beautiful songs and My Cherie Amour is just as good, but nothing makes me swoon like this one.

Wild Horses (Jagger/Richards)- This also ties with Beast of Burden. The Stones wrote some amazingly misogynistic songs like "Brown Sugar" and "Under my Thumb" but this one is a beauty and the lyrics with Mick's fake black dude voice is stunning.

Tiny Dancer (Bernie Taupin)- A song about a groupie. But, the best groupie. The lyrics are not really romantic, but the feeling the song evokes makes you want to be this girl.
