Would "Uptown girl" be in that category? I mean cheesy.

Yes, definitely, I sent a later message and included that one. Stuff like "Uptown Girl", "Tell Her About it", "Just the way you Are", "Honesty", etc., make me want to hurl.

There should be a rule - if you're a guy, you're only allowed to write relationship/love songs if they're as dark and haunting as Pearl Jam's "Black". If so, do it. If not, you may as well be wearing a dress.
