Hi Marquita620, I just tried patting my head and rubbing my stomach, I didn't realize it was so difficult, so that's a good analogy if that's the right word, it could be that you just don't like those songs, I personally wouldn't play a song I didn't like, I don't like a lot of good songs it's a matter of taste, you appear to have a bit of a mental block with these tunes so it may be best to change tack, there's nothing wrong with choosing songs you like to sing in my opinion that's a good thing. As you appear to have hit a brickwall it might be best to change tack, I don't know if you play fingerstyle but if you want to learn, it can add another dimension to your guitar playing and breaks things up a bit, it would be good to work on more songwriting as well writing a song naturally forces you to think of a tune, as you sing this could be good for you and definitely rewarding, if you practice singing a few songs you like and mix it up by playing around with songwriting projects and a bit of music theory you may get more enjoyment out of playing. If you don't like songs don't play them, your song choices are more important if you are playing to an audience as you need to keep them interested but if you're playing at home you can play anything you want to when you want to and how you want to. As you improve you can go back to those songs again but if you don't learn them it won't matter.
Don't know if this helps but if it helps a tiny bit it was worth writing.

Cheers

Chris
