If you have been with me awhile here, you know I post lyrics of songs with the purpose of bringing the words out from under the music. Sometimes the words are profound and sometimes they are less so. I think this falls in the latter category. However, with that said, my favorite lines are the first two. "Ah, now I don't hardly know her, But I think I could love her."
I guess that's how it starts on the attraction level, but hopefully not on the love level. Coming soon, I have a number of scheduled posts about the difference between Pop Love and True Love. Stay tuned.
