She wasn't a boy crazy teenager however, but you can tell she really loves him. Also, Etta James's I'd Rather Go Blind and Carly Simon's Anticipation are sensual songs written and sung by women. Linda Ronstadt and Rita Coolidge also had some good ones.Laranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19346366.post-17020982776729521552011-04-15T06:10:01.735-04:002011-04-15T06:10:01.735-04:00Wikipedia says that "Torn" would've ...Wikipedia says that "Torn" would've been a #1 song if Billboard's rules allowed singles that had not been released in separate physical form, i.e. only sent from the album to airplay.<br /><br />"I Touch Myself" (1990) was apparently written by the same guy who penned "Like a Virgin," "Eternal Flame," and "I'll Stand By You."
