You know you’re screwed when you can relate to love songs written by gay men.<\/p>\n
Elton John – I Want Love<\/b><\/p>\n
I want love, but it’s impossible
\nA man like me, so irresponsible
\nA man like me is dead in places
\nOther men feel liberated<\/p>\n
I can’t love, shot full of holes
\nDon’t feel nothing, I just feel cold
\nDon’t feel nothing, just old scars
\nToughening up around my heart<\/p>\n
But I want love, just a different kind
\nI want love, won’t break me down
\nWon’t brick me up, won’t fence me in
\nI want a love, that don’t mean a thing
\nThat’s the love I want, I want love<\/p>\n
I want love on my own terms
\nAfter everything I’ve ever learned
\nMe, I carry too much baggage
\nOh man I’ve seen so much traffic<\/p>\n
So bring it on, I’ve been bruised
\nDon’t give me love that’s clean and smooth
\nI’m ready for the rougher stuff
\nNo sweet romance, I’ve had enough <\/p>\n
Other gay men who write such beautiful songs are Freddie Mercury and Rufus Wainwright.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
