Saying “I love you”
Is not the words I want to hear from you
It’s not that I want you
Not to say but if you only knewHow easy, it would be to show me how you feel
More than words is all you have to do to make it real
Then you wouldn’t have to say that you love me
‘Cause I’d already knowWhat would you do
If my heart was torn in two?
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say
If I took those words away?
Then you couldn’t make things new
Just by saying “I love you”La-di-da, da-di-da
Di-dai-dai-da
More than words
La-di-da, da-di-daNow that I’ve tried to
Talk to you and make you understand
All you have to do is close your eyes
And just reach out your hands and touch meHold me close, don’t ever let me go
More than words is all I ever needed you to show
Then you wouldn’t have to say that you love me
‘Cause I’d already knowWhat would you do
If my heart was torn in two?
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say
If I took those words away?
Then you couldn’t make things new
Just by saying “I love you”

No real reason for picking this song other than I heard it on the radio recently and it is 100% a banger. In fact the album it comes from “Pornograffiti” is filled with bangers. Like “Hole Hearted” and “Decadence Dance” to name just a couple. In fact I might have to pick it up for a future New to Me Vinyl Friday. Watch your Snapchat. It might just come to you soon. No promises though.
But Thursdays are for flowers and this flowertography session took place entirely in my yard.
Next Thursday’s flowertography session will involve the State Center Rose Garden!
So, this song is incredible, full stop. But it is also 100% saying, “If you loved me, you’d put out.” It was some crap messaging to early-90s girls. But they sound great saying it.
Love these photos! Gorgeous flowers.
“All you have to do is close your eyes
And just reach out your hands and touch me”
He just wants to hold hands. Clearly. This isn’t an Axl Rose “feel my serpentine”.
This is more a McCartney/Lennon “Oh, yeah, I’ll tell you somethin’
I think you’ll understand
When I say that somethin’
I want to hold your hand”
Clearly.
How can you possibly mention Extreme without a hat tip to “When I’m President”.
Now I know there’s trouble in the Middle East
I’ll spend all the money when I stop the Arms Race
On my brothers in the desert, gonna have themselves a feast
When that’s done, then we’ll start on world peace
Also a great song and a more solid platform that pretty much every political party has.
