Love My Way - by The Psychedelic Furs

From Songfacts:

[quote] Furs frontman Richard Butler had a specific audience in mind when he penned the lyrics to this song. He explained in an interview with Creem in 1982: "It's basically addressed to people who are f--ked up about their sexuality, and says 'Don't worry about it.' It was originally written for gay people."

Another gay Country music classic from Dixon Dallas:

“And we get a little frisky, I climb up on him, ride him like a F-150"

Got me hootin’ and hollerin’, I’m begging him for more.”

"You ain’t gotta say nothing, we can get to loving"

"Maybe for a lifetime or maybe just for tonight"

"A little bit of sinnin’, I love the way he’s grinning"

"When I turn around he cracks me open like a cold bud light.”

Remember when you were more easily led

Behind the cricket pavilion and the bicycle shed

Trembling as your dreams came true

You looked right into those blue eyes and knew

It was love and now you can't pretend

You've forgotten all the promises of that first friend

It's bad enough she knows how you feel

But she's not prepared to share you with a memory
