Favorite Sappy Song

What's your favorite sappy love type song you could never admit to your friends back when that you liked. One of mine would have to be from Prefab Sprout "When Love Breaks Down " . Come on , we're adults now , you can tell [;)]

OK, I'll confess to a few.

Chicago - If You Leave Me Now
Walter Egan - Magnet and Steel
Suzanne Vega - Gypsy
Bob Welch - Sentimental Lady

I ususally hate this kind of stuff, but once in a while a song finds the chinks in my armor.

Try Olive's very cool remake of it. It's totally surprising how good it is in an electro-pop version.
