Non soppy love song suggestions please

[mymaudlincareer]

What song would you recommend that sends a certain message but isn't too naff and soppy...?

Friends - I'm His Girl

Call Me , Blondie

@Angrymum22

Just don’t send ‘Red light spells danger’ Billy Ocean. He’ll run for the hills. Adele’s lyrics can be pretty good and I love Paloma Faith love song. Strong woman type lyrics.

Adele couldn’t be more soppy!

I remember someone once text me “the exodus is here, the happy ones are near...” and left it hanging in the air (both Who fans!) I was not on the same page as him and did not want to get together 🙈🤣

The Rembrandts - I'll be there for you. A hit in the 90's (your era?) and if he's not interested, you could say it meant you wanted to be 'friends'.

'You make me forget about' by Sybille Baier. Profound and touching rather than soppy.

The Divinyls: "I touch myself"

Into you like a train by The Psychedelic Furs?
Love me Like a Reptile by Motörhead ?

You Make Loving Fun - Fleetwood Mac

Depending on exactly what you're interested in...

Drive but Melissa Ferrick

If you want this
If you want this
If you want this, you're gonna have to ask
Nicely please
Yeah if you want this
You're gonna have to ask me
You're gonna have to ask me
Whatever you want
I'll give it to you
I'll give it to you slowly
Till you're just begging me to hold you
Ya whatever you want
Whatever you want
But you're gonna have to ask me
Your mouth waters
Stretched out on my bed
Your fingers are trembling
And your heart is heavy and red
And your head is bent back
And your back is arched
My hand is under there
Holding you up
I'll hold you up
And drive you all night
I'll hold you up
And drive you, baby, till you feel the daylight
I'll hold you up
And drive you all night
I'll hold you up
And drive you till you feel the daylight
That's right
That's right
In the kitchen
In the shower
And in the back seat of my car
I'll hold you up
In your office
Preferably during business hours
'Cause you know how I like it when there's people around
And I know how you like it
Yeah I know how you like it
I know how you like it when I tease you for hours

Oasis stand by me. Love that song for the feels.

Fleetwood Mac's Wanna Be With You Anywhere (sorry, I'm old)

Oops, Everywhere, not anywhere

Ha ha ...thanks for the suggestions, some laugh out loud ones there. It is a bit cheesy but it's a laugh.

Weirdly, I just mentioned this on the Bob Dylan thread. 'I Want You' by Bob Dylan is cool and sexy (but maybe a bit more overt than you were looking for!)
Good luck.

I Touch Myself

The Jam ..I need you

Send 'Oh Love' by Green Day

Love it!

Times are hard when things have got no meaning
I've found a key upon the floor
Maybe you and I will not believe in
The things we find behind the door
So what's the matter with you?
Sing me something new
Don't you know, the cold and wind and rain don't know
They only seem to come and go away
Stand by me, nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand by me, nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand by me, nobody knows the way it's gonna be

Love and affection - Joan armitrading.

Sugar spin sister by the stone roses

@XEbonyrose1X I LOVE that song. It’s one of my favourites ever. The key change towards the end never fails to make me well up and get goosebumps. “The way it’s gonna beeee..” 😭

This with the video - cracks me up every time
