With your hair falling down in your baby blues.
Standing there across the room,
I get so lost in the way you move.
It makes me reminisce, back to years ago
On a night like this.
Teary-eyed, as you took my hand,
And I told you that I'd be your man.
So many things have come, so many things have gone,
One thing that's stayed the same is
Our love's still going strong.
Baby just look at us, all this time and were still in love,
Something like this just don't exist between a
Backwoods boy and a fairytail princess.
People said it would never work out,
But living our dreams we shattered all doubts.
Feels good to prove 'em wrong,
Livin' our love song.
Darling, would you look at me,
With my heart beatin' fast, and my shaky knees.
Its pretty hard to believe
After all these years, I still need you this badly.
You're dancing in my arms
With a spotlight moon and a sea of stars.
Oh girl we've come so far,
Everything I want is everything you are.
Just want to lay you down, say I love you
Without a sound.
I think you know what I'm talking about.
Baby just look at us, all this time and were still in love,
Something like this just don't exist between a
Backwoods boy and a fairytail princess.
People said it would never work out,
But living our dreams we shattered all doubts.
Feels good to prove 'em wrong,
Livin' our love song.
Baby just look at us, all this time and were still in love,
Something like this just don't exist, between a
Backwoods boy and a fairytail princess.
People said it would never work out,
But living our dreams we shattered all doubts.
Don't it feels good to prove 'em wrong,
Livin' our love song.
It feels good to prove 'em wrong,
Just livin' our love song.
I chose this song because it is one of my new favorite songs right now. It has personal sentiment for me. anyhow, it does address some things we discussed through the course about roles in society based upon class or social status. she is a "fairy tale princess" and he is a "backwoods boy". this can highlight the idea of comming from two very different places and also the romantic narrative like Romeo and Juliet of how they weren't expected to be together by others. It is a romantic narrative that as we learned in class many women look to have even still. It is the idea of wanting this great "love song" wiht a guy and having this big thing that seems completely out of a movie. The way he talks about her seems romantic but it is also sexual and of course it is him who is doing all the talking about how she is so beautiful with her "baby blues" and how he wants to Just wants "to lay you down, say I love you Without a sound. I think you know what I'm talking about. " this is a sexual reference and sex is always something that is made romantic in our society but in reality it is not always such a thing. i feel that although i still love this song, i shows a great deal of the things surrounding women's narrative that we discussed in class.
