It is no secret John Mayer is a sleeze. Ever since he broke Jennifer Aniston’s heart (along with Jessica Simpson’s, Katy Perry’s and Taylor Swift’s), he has been labeled as a slimy dirt bag. But how can someone with such an atrocious reputation with women sing such lovely things about them? After all, there is always an appropriate time to throw on a couple of John Mayer songs. Whether you are taking a shower, working out, crying over a broken heart, doing some yoga, studying for that calc exam (or crying over that calc exam) or going to sleep, everything is simply better when John is singing.
Here are 46 lyrics that make John Mayer guilty pleasures a little bit more OK.

So, yeah, maybe his writers sat down with him and were like, “Sing this so you at least sound like a decent guy.” But, he agreed to it so maybe there is still hope for John Mayer. Regardless, he still has the voice of an angel.
