Love songs don’t have to be mushy and chock-full of cliches. They can be dirty, weird, morbid, depressing, hyper-sexual, or just plain straightforward. The sentiment can come from both the heart AND the pants. It doesn’t matter how you say I love you, or I want you, or I want to die if you die—there are a lot of ways to tell bae you care. We put together a list of alternative love songs for you and your Valentine’s Day bae. As a bonus, we threw in some stuff for all of you out there who are trying to get over your ex. Maybe you can send them one of those songs after naming a cockroach after them at them at the Bronx zoo.
