I've known those lyrics by heart for about 35 years. You could also say that it's about what she does to him. It's just how you decide to word it.
I wouldn't say it's about what she does, because it keeps saying "if" when it sings about what she may do. Everything it says about the man is certain.



I take it everyone except me (and probably Mojo) is voting for Percy Sledge?

'Cause that's what I assume.



Are you sure we shouldn't wait?
He wouldn't mind. He's let me do it before. Plus, I imagine you, Cricket and GBG will vote Percy.



I already recorded it in the official list that Percy won. If it doesn't go that way, I'll correct it.

He wrote the song with Liz King in mind, his ex-girlfriend, and he altered some of the lyrics before finishing the song. I'm not saying you're wrong, but I think there's an argument for both sides, just like with the about her tournament winner, I'm On Fire. All I'm saying is that with theme tournaments, I like the nominations to be more clear cut and specific, otherwise they look just like regular tournaments. It's not your fault, or anybody's fault, just my preference. Either way, it's an all time great song.

OK, I did not know that about the song. I asked opinions when I made my list, because I wondered about some of my other nominations. I deleted them, and I have them saved for my "Lovers" theme. I hope to snag the Valentine's Day spot.

I'm surprised I got Cricket's vote. I wasn't sure about GBG.

My nominations were all clear cut in both tournaments, and you still voted against almost every one of them.

I'm off to bed. Sexy, post the winner and runner up post once Destiny confirms her vote.
It's been fun hosting this tournament! Hope you all enjoyed it!
