Sucker For Love Songs

Before I admit I'm a sucker for love songs
Be assured I'm a masculine man
My sensitive side's a big hit with ladies
Which I nurture as much as I can

By the way ladies talk, our numbers are few
Probably why I'm so appealing
Believe me at times sure wish it weren't true 
And had more control of my feelings

I weep at sad movies and stuff on TV
I'm embarrassed to say that it's so
To hide it I try but the tears in my eyes
Are a sure sign I don't have control

Okay I've accepted this man that I am
It's probably much better like this
To be thought of as a cruel and unfeeling guy
Would certainly not be my wish

Before I admit I'm a sucker for love songs
Be assured I'm a masculine man
My sensitive side has turned out to be a blessing
It defines the man that I am

Toquyen Harrell February 12, 2013 at 8:08 AM Jack, you will probably love Channel 17 -love channel- on Xirus XM satellite radio. That's my favorite channel and that is all they play -love songs.
