Just shoot me now

As long as you love me
We could be starving, we could be homeless, we could be broke
As long as you love me
I'll be your platinum, I'll be your silver, I'll be your gold
As long as you love, love, love, love me (love me)
I heard this heartfelt, amazing song on the radio.  I waited for the dj to give the artist's name....nada.
I heard this song again.  It hit me even more deeply the second time around.  I was at a stop light flailing for my phone with its very useful 'song id' application....got it!!  The phone app counted down from 10-0.  The amount of seconds it needs to id a song.  Light changed during the song.  I put the precious phone in a cup holder and drove to the stop sign.  Picked up my wonderful phone 'network error try again'  dammit!!!
Omd!!! (Oh my deity)  the song is on again, i'm not driving (husband is) he likes the song too!!  I valiantly pull out the recently redemed phone, (it id'd another song).  I put the phone near the speaker.  It started the countdown....then....jerkstore phone 'could not id song .....yada yada, put the phone nesrer the speaker ......' 
The dj prattles on about EVERYTHING but can't be arsed to give the information out about the flipping song, which now has me fully in its steely vise of lyrical love and hope.
Today, on the way to football practice.  The song comes on.  We ALL (yes even my 13 year- old son!)  We are all singing along....I decide to try one more time with the id feature.  The song is blaring, we're still singing along.  Drawing ever nearer the practice field, it happens song id actuslly id'd the song!!
As long as you love me - Justin Bieber feat. Big Sean!?!
My son shrieked....change the song before my friends hear this!
We were locked in a dreadful nightmare.  ALL of us love the song.
Here it is.....6:06 am, wide awake with....
As long as you love me
We could be starving, we could be homeless, we could be broke
As long as you love me
I'll be your platinum, I'll be your silver, I'll be your gold
As long as you love, love, love, love me (love me)
Sigh......I can't get it out of my head.  I watched the video on my phone.  This is almost as bad as skulking around the nudie store, not wanting to be seen....powerless to stop its call.
Help me, omd, I love a Justin Bieber song! 
I'm not sure if it's legal to like one, sane, or a forgiveable offense.  I should be hiding in fear and shame, yet I'm putting it here, in hopes it might help others struggling with a similar situation.  I'm still in the stage of acceptsnce.  I am here for you.  If you or someone you love are struggling with song acceptance, leave a comment.  We can only make it through mutual support.  One day I hope to loudly admit this, but for now...I'll quietly post it here....
6:24.....and
As long as you love me
We could be starving, we could be homeless, we could be broke
As long as you love me
I'll be your platinum, I'll be your silver, I'll be your gold
As long as you love, love, love, love me (love me)
