Being at work, I've listened a lot to the radio as I work. As a result, I've heard a lot of songs - some several times. And the more I listen, the more I realize that some of those lyrics aren't very romantic at all.
As an example: In one of the songs, not quite sure which, a woman sings "I wanna feel love, love, love" and so on... And the following line: "I will show you heaven if I catch you alone". It's probably meant to be seductive/romantic, but (maybe due to not paying attention?) I never noticed her mention that the guy gave her any more than a passing glance, in a crowded room at that. AKA, he doesn't know her at all, making it sound a lot like she's planning to rape him or something. It seems like a horribly awkward meeting, either way.
And then the songs where people sing about how the other one belongs to them... The line "You are mine" just makes me feel uneasy. "Prove to me that you are mine", someone sang. It might be due to how I RP summons, that literally DO belong to others, but does it come off as creepy rather than romantic to anyone else? Say it however you want, "prove to me that you are mine" doesn't sound like something you'd ever say in any vaguely romantic situation.
So, how about you guys? Noticed any failed love lyrics, or song lyrics that are just plain unromantic?

"This is where I celebrate my recovery I'll find creative ways to stip your body partys and use them as weapons of torture My mother would be proud Maybe you can appreciate this saw created with your nails, Use it to cut off your lips and stuff them in your nostrils, Empty my bladder into your filthy mouth Gargle my fluid Hum you an old tune while we dismember your legs Hung upside down by your waiste, I blindfold myself with the skin of your thigh, Spin 5 times and use your leg to swing at you like a pinata You explode remedy all over me
My fever is gone and so are you " - The Number Twelve Looks Like You - El Piסata De La Muerte

... I don't think that's even SUPPOSED to be romantic. Woah, that's as unromantic as you can get!

That is slightly frightening if not disturbingly poetic

I don't even know why I'm here, I just thought it needed saying.

"Put out the candles, light my body..." ... Because it sounds like he's telling you to SET HIM ON FIRE.
"You will never have to worry about finding my dead body on the street." ... Yyyeah. This is in a song where he sings of how he won't betray her or something, but that line just stuck out. WHO SAYS THAT?

"Hello ma'am, would you be interested In some sexual positions and emotional investments" ( Atmosphere - Trying to find a balance )
this is probably the best pickup line ever :B
"A few minutes with me inside my van Should be so beautiful if we can I'm feeling something taking over me" ( Porcupine Tree - Blackest Eyes )
Obviously not a romantical song AT ALL in the first place, it is sung from the perspective of a murderer/rapist/mental person.
"I need to show how much I love you I need to prove my heart is true I'm gonna show the world How much I love you girl I'm gonna kill myself for you
I'm gonna show the world How much I love you girl I'm gonna kill me and you "
Die Toten Hosen - All For The Sake Of Love ( English version of Alles aus liebe )
A song about a messed up guy that doesn't really know how to express love at all, so he thinks he's doing a good job by killing himself for the girl he loves. In the end he kills both himself and his girl.
And the entire song MACABRE -Sanagi no yume wa ageha no hane...- by Dir en grey would also fit this category sort of. The song is pretty much a symbolic song about a guy ( symbolized as a bird of sorts ) eating the girl he loves, who is symbolized as a butterfly for some reason.
