Hah, the teen response of, “Eeew. Freak,” is my reaction to much of pop music love/relationship songs, because… seriously, eew, the lyrics are freaktastic. I mean, NO ONE wants to hear that sort of manipulative, narcissistic, semi-psychosis from anyone IRL, so why do we just bop along with that in pop songs????

In reply to pablo. That's a great song! "I don't really want to see you dismembered by the marijuana-sniffing dogs when a simple little nipping would suffice."

In terms of musical apologies, I do think Christine Lavin’s musical apology (full title: “Regretting What I Said to You When You Called Me at Eleven O’clock on a Friday Morning to Tell Me That at One O’clock Friday Afternoon You’re Gonna Leave Your Office, Go Downstairs, Hail a Cab to Go out to the Airport to Catch a Plane to Go Skiing in the Alps for Two Weeks. Not That I Wanted to Go with You, I Wasn’t Able to Leave Town, I’m Not a Very Good Skier, I Couldn’t Expect You to Pay My Way, But After Going Out with You for Three Years, I Don’t Like Surprises”) does fare better, in spite of its faults. – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_6XMqcEqiI

FYI, the composer of “I’m Afraid of You” was a distant cousin of mine, Archie Gottler. However, I did not know this when I was looking for non-creepy Whispering Jack Smith songs. This one was also covered by Bing Crosby, should this ever come up on Jeopardy.
