11 Songs You Are Embarrassed To Admit You Love

10. To Be With You - Mr.Big

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QD5n98R_nk You€™re at karaoke and you see the shy guy in the corner who€™s been eyeing his gal-pal all night, the one who just sees him as just a good buddy. His name gets called up and nine out of ten times you can guarantee that he€™s going to launch into To Be With You, staring straight at her the whole time. Everyone raises an eyebrow and wonder how he€™s singing it so well. Never mind the fact that he listens to it on a daily basis, not just practicing the lyrics but feeling them. Truth is it€™s probably been twenty years since a woman swooned to this song but it doesn€™t change the fact that To Be With You still connects with people in some way. Maybe it€™s the ridiculous catchiness of that guitar strumming. It could also be that the chorus is so well written, people were singing along to similar highs and lows before it even existed. Or perhaps it€™s just the one and only time that people wish they could deliver a string of words as passionately as Eric Martin. Does the karaoke serenade work? Of course it doesn€™t. But guaranteed everybody in the audience went home and downloaded To Be With You, and won€™t tell anybody about it.

Just like Patrick Swayze in Roadhouse, Mickey Galie is the best friend a good time ever had.
