10. '(If You're Not in It for Love) I'm Outta Here!'
This song taps into the psyche of every eligible single girl who wants to drive her point home to the potential man of her dreams. Let's just cut to the chase: If you're not going to commit to a long-lasting, loving relationship, 'I'm outta here!' You go, girl!
9. 'Come on Over'
This "be happy, be who you are," song that encourages us to "be a winner, be a star" could stand alone as a three-hour Tony Robbins motivational speech, but we're glad Shania paired the words with a catchy melody that works just as well -- in just under three minutes.
8. 'Forever and for Always'
An old-fashioned love song that's brought to life through the video that's a must-see for Shania Twain fans. A soulful, sexy Shania on the beach is inter-cut with scenes of three couples (adolescents, young adults and seniors) whose body language speaks of eternal love.
7. 'I Ain't No Quitter'
This little sleeper didn't make many waves when it came out in 2005, but it's a line-dancer's dream song. The 'boozer/loser, schemer/dreamer,' who decides he 'ain't no quitter,' gets a break from the woman scorned, who decides she 'ain't no quitter' either.
6. 'Honey, I'm Home'
An anthem for the working woman who has a "honey" to come home to at the end of a bad day at the office. It's nice to have a sounding board at the end the day -- someone who can pour you a cold one, rub your bunions, fix you a treat, give Fido a bone, and, well, just "listen."
5. 'The Woman in Me (Needs the Man in You)'
Here's a thoughtful song that touches the tender heart. Shania takes the high road to the man who can comfort her vulnerable soul. Her lyrics -- "The woman in me needs you to be the man in my arms to hold tenderly ... the woman in me, needs the man in you,' -- lets go of the independent woman long enough to allow herself to be truly loved.
4. 'Any Man of Mine'
Here's a woman who knows what she wants in a man, and is not afraid to write a song about it. It's a catchy tune with a catch: love me when I'm ugly; agree with me at all times; keep me in your thoughts when I'm having a bad hair day ... in other words, walk the line with a smile on your face. Got that?
3. 'You're Still the One'
It was the 1999 Grammy winner for Best Country Song, but this poignant ballad was also Shania's first pop hit, establishing her as one of the most successful crossover artists of all time. Shania wrote the song about her then-husband in response to media criticism about their relationship. The critics may have been right, but Shania gets the last laugh with this love song that's still a staple on radio more than a decade later.
2. 'Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under?'
In this song, Shania insinuates her " boots are made for walkin,'" after accusing her significant other that his boots have been under too many beds for her liking. This song brings out the bitch in every woman who has had trouble with the man in her life who has a penchant for cheating with one too many 'Lolita's.' She's about to boot him; good riddance!
1. 'From This Moment On' (duet with Bryan White)
Shania hand-picked Bryan White to sing this with her, which turned out to be a collaboration made in heaven. Simply one of the most powerful and endearing love songs ever recorded, together they made you believe that love is to be shared "through weakness and strength, happiness and sorrow, for better or for worse." If this one doesn't make your heart beat out of your chest, then you've never been in love.
