Soundtrack to my love life

A few months ago while listening to my IPod a song by Sheryl Crow came on that completely summed up the way I was feeling at the time.
And then yesterday the same thing happened again.
The album I have in my car at the moment is A Fine Mess by Kate Voegele and when track eight 'Talkin' Smooth' came on and I listened to the words it perfectly summed up what was going on with my love life at the moment.
Have a read of the lyrics and see if you have ever been able to relate to it.

How many times have you used that line?
Did you replace the last two dozen words with mine?
Is 'I love you baby', second nature by now?
'Cause it sounds awful rehearsed when the words leave your mouth.

I don't know why but it seems that I'm not the first to have heard this speech.
Is this a routine you just repeat?
'Cause I don't mean to presume that you don't love me like you say you do but you're gonna have to prove that you're true and not just talkin' smooth.

Your performance deserves an academy award.
And it's a double edged sword 'cause I sure feel adored.
But just between us I'd rather see you slip up.
Don't you know that it's those less than perfect words I can't get enough of.

Maybe I'm outta my head but I'm telling you baby that I've been misled.
So if the record's off well could you get it set?
I don't mean to presume that you don't love me like you say you do but you're gonna have to prove that you're true and not just talkin' smooth.

Well you've proven your charm is a crime.
Why don't you see the harm in relying on this disguise.
You're losing my with every little wink of the eye.

The end of my rope is slipping out of my hold so if you're clever you'd better do some damage control.
I don't know why it seems you've made a game of making a fool outta me and I did not sign up to be your tongue in cheek.

I don't mean to presume that you don't love me like you say you do but, you're gonna have to prove that you're true and you're not talkin' smooth.

So, so far on the soundtrack to my love life is:
#1 The First Cut is the Deepest - Sheryl Crow
#2 Talkin' Smooth - Kate Voegele
I wonder what will be next?
What would be on your soundtrack?
