Topic: cringeworthy lyrics

i was listening to some Roy Orbison songs and he had some terrific songs, (i like the newer ones best) but his old ones are excellent too but there is a line from " in dreams" which goes i think; in dreams, you're mine. all of the time. i cringe each time i hear that. you may disagree or you may know of other songs with cringeworthy lines in otherwise brilliant songs, lets hear your thoughts. 

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Re: cringeworthy lyrics

Roy Orbison was great . Oh Pretty Woman, Crying, You Got It,  and the list of his songs goes on and on. He often covered over 3.1 octaves in a  song and not many can say  that.

George Michael singing Somebody To Love. When he says I want to see every single pair of hands. A single pair just don't sound right.
