Yep. One of my favorite movies. I used to sing that tune ("Let the others of my sex / tie the knot around their necks / I prefer a new edition / of the Spanish Inquisition / than to ever let a woman in my life"). Didn't that "confirmed old bachelor" end up though growing "accustomed to her face"?

Then I learned to sing a different tune:

Eric Carmen:

Quote:
When I was young
I never needed anyone
And makin love was just for fun
Those days are gone

Hard to be sure
Some times I feel so insecure
And love so distant and obscure
Remains the cure
Bruce Springsteen:

Quote:
Everybody needs a place to rest
Everybody wants to have a home
Dont make no difference what nobody says
Aint nobody like to be alone
And finally I met the one who turned me around 180 degrees :

Firefall:

Quote:
You are the woman that I've always dreamed of
I knew it from the start
I saw your face and that's the last I've seen of my heart
