Theme Songs: True Love Waits

[edgeofwhatever.livejournal.com]

I am looking for songs on the theme of Willingly Abstaining from Sex and/or Relationships Until You Find True Love or a Decent Man/Woman or Somesuch.

The rules:

- Nominate tracks you think (a) fit the theme, (b) are good, and (c) I may not have heard (or paid enough attention to, i.e. this is your chance to make me listen to Electrik Red again) before.
- I'm changing the rules so you can officially nominate three songs, since we didn't exactly have a bumper crop of participation last time. Feel free to mention more than your official three.
- For your official nominations, please provide an embed or link at which I can hear the full song (e.g. YouTube, LaLa, Last.fm, anything other than Spotify).
- You have until Friday to nominate a song, but songs can only be officially nominated by one person, so get in early.
- The song I judge to be the most thematically appropriate AND the most awesome will win, and the person who nominated it gets to pick next week's theme.

Songs I have already heard which fit this theme:

- Kelly Clarkson / Katy Perry, "I Do Not Hook Up"
- Roxane Shante, "Brothers Ain't Shit"
- Pussycat Dolls, "I Don't Need a Man"
- Solange Knowles, "I Decided, Pt. 1"

Haha, is that "Blush"? Can't play it at the moment. Might nominate that one, hmmmmm....

It is indeed BLush. Was it you that mentioned on here recently in some conversation or other? Or maybe it was Frank? It was on LJ I'm sure.

Was probably Frank, but I wouldn't put it past me to bring it up.

Well, you certainly have my permission to nominate it, though if neither you nor anyone else does I might, though I think Aly's waiting until she's ready (or married) rather than for Mr. Right, which the guy she's addressing hasn't necessarily disqualified himself from, if I'm reading the song right.

It is a great song.
