I was listening to a song on the radio this morning, quite enjoying it, might I add. It was "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz. Cute song, simple tune and lyrics that make you want to call someone up and tell them that you love them. Then a line came out that just ruined the whole thing for me.
"It's your Godforsaken right to be loved"
WTF????
The Concise Oxford defines godforsaken as "Lacking any merit or attraction"; the word forsake is defined as "to renounce or give up".
THIS LINE MAKES NO SENSE!!!!!
It's your democratic right to be loved, your God-given right to be loved, your bloody effing right to be loved, but not GODFORSAKEN!!! That's just stupid!
It really got to me.....but it's still a cute song. I am going to loudly sing one of the above options over the top next time I hear it.
