There’s been a couple of sappy 90’s love songs that refuse to leave my brain and I reluctantly must admit, I kinda like 'em: “I Love You Always Forever” - Donna Lewis (where is SHE now?) “You Were Meant For Me” - Jewel Oh, the shame of it all… ---

I have a bunch of these … 70s/80s light rock is one of my favorite genres of music. I second “Lady” and “Glory of Love”. Here are some of my personal favorites: “If You Leave Me Know” by Chicago “Baby Come Back” by Player “Miracles” by Jefferson Starship “Same Auld Lang Syne” by Dan Fogelberg “Just Once” by Quincy Jones (vocals by James Ingram) “Kiss You All Over” by Exile “How Much I Feel” by Ambrosia “Hearts” by Marty Balin “Sweetheart” by Franke & the Knockouts “A Little Bit More” by Doctor Hook “Never Knew Love Like This Before” by Stephanie Mills “Fooled Around and Fell in Love” by Elvin Bishop (lead vocals by Starship’s Mickey Thomas) ---

_Hard to Say I’m Sorry_ by fucking **Chicago**. Kill me now. If it counts, _Here’s to the Night_ by **Eve 6**. It’s sappy, but I absolutely love it. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sappy-love-songs-you-hate-to-admit-you-like/185054.md?page=2)
