UNROMANTIC LOVE SONGS

When choosing your perfect song, don't forget to check out the lyrics or you might regret it! 

Angels by Robbie Williams - this song has some beautiful lyrics, but ‘and I feel that love is dead, I’m loving angels instead’, is not as romantic as it first seemed!

Single Ladies by Beyonce - this is NOT a song about getting enaged! The lyrics read ‘Cuz if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it’ - BEWARE!

Something by The Beatles - a closer look at this love song tells a different story. ‘You're asking me, will my love grow? I don't know! I don't know! You stick around and it may show. I don't know! I don't know!’ 

Every Breath You Take by Police - this includes ‘every vow you break, every smile you fake’, then ‘I’II be watching you’ over & over, restraining order please!

With or Without You by U2 - these lyrics soon turn sour ‘On a bed of nails she makes me wait’ and ’my hands are tied, my body bruised, she's got me with nothing to win and nothing left to lose’. Nice.
