Love Songs: Smooth Vs. Sleazy- 80's Power Ballads

In a recent car drive, my friend and I were discussing what cheezeball song lyrics we would take seriously in real life if a guy said them to us and which ones we would flat out deny. here are some thoughts:

Don Henley: Boys of Summer
Grade: Smooth
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
after the boys of summer have gone

Foreigner: I Wanna Know What Love Is
Grade: Sleazy, most likely to be used in tawdry montage of an 80's movie
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me

REO Speedwagon: Keep on Loving You
Grade: Borderline obsessive, sleazy
I don't wanna eat, I don't wanna sleep
I just wanna keep on loving you

Bon Jovi: In These Arms
Grade: Super smooth
I'd hold you, I'd need you,
I'd get down on my knees for you,
and make everything alright,
if you were in these arms tonight
