While some letters have presented a challenge to this “Ten Songs That Start With The Same Word” theme, some letters present a plethora of riches. The letter I, for instance, as so many songs begin with the first person singular in some form, not to mention words like “if”, “in”, and “it”. I had to go to the next word to narrow things down a bit, so here are ten songs that begin “I Can’t”. Because I can find ten such songs.
1. I Can’t Believe You’re In Love With Me – Elena James
2. I Can’t Dance – Genesis
3. I Can’t Get Next To You – Annie Lennox
4. I Can’t Give You Anything But Love – Duke Ellington
5. I Can’t Make You Love Me – Bonnie Raitt
6. I Can’t Stand It – Sue Ann
7. I Can’t Stop Loving You – Ray Charles
8. I Can’t Tame Wild Women – Hot Club of Cowtown
9. I Can’t Turn You Loose – Was (Not Was)
10. I Can’t Understand – Los Lobos
I could spend several weeks on the letter I, but I won’t. What’s on your list this week?
