Subject: Song Title Questionnaire
From: Clinton Hammond

This might ride the rail of BS... but we've had fun with it on other MBs.... Answer only in song titles (Include author just in case...)

- Who are you?
- How do some people see you?
- How do you feel about yourself?
- How do you feel about your ex?
- How do you feel about your current mate/partner?
- Where do you want to be?
- What do you want to be?
- How do you live?
- How do you love?
- If you had only one thing to say, what would it be?

I'll come back and put my answers after a few have had a go...

:-)
