It is easy to assume that it is about pressuring someone to have sex but lyrics don't back it up. You must have been quite the gentleman as a teenager. Most of the guys I knew would claim their heart had been "torn in two" by your refusal to give them any. Teenage boys will do anything to get laid. I am talking about what the song is about: "What would you say if I took those words away. Then you couldn't make things new just by saying I love you".

Yep, if I took those words away you'd have to SHOW me how much you love me.

Yep, if I took those words away you'd have to SHOW me how much you love me. Yes, by not treating me like shit. You could no longer make things NEW by just saying the words. Totality of the lyrics. Or not: "Greatest Love Of All" "I never found anyone who fulfilled my needs, A lonely place to be, And so I learned to depend on me" Clearly the song is about masturbation.

Gary Cherone has said that the song is about how easy it is to say I love you. It's all about doing things that show you love someone. Like a bj.

Yes, that More Than Words Song is awful! I hated it in high school and still hate it to this day. My college boyfriend loved it...looking back it makes sense that he would. Dating him was definitely one of the worst decisions I ever made. It is easy to assume that it is about pressuring someone to have sex but lyrics don't back it up. I'm in the it's about getting sex "camp". it's a kinder gentler "if you loved me, you'd have sex with me -- just saying the words isn't enough" spiel.
If it's about a guy being treated badly (that "heart torn in two part"_ then he's pressuring for make up sex:
"Now 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 me Hold 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 know"

Of all the "Classic Rock" songs ONLY the Rolling Stones doing disco - "Miss you" and then "Shattered" can drive me to homicide. there's lots of "classic rock" I don't like - but those two songs are truly awful.

... and just reach out your hands and touch me Hold me close don't ever let me go ... Why you girls think that touching and cuddling always has to lead to sex, I just don't understand.

WOW, I never got that sex vibe AT ALL from that song. Interesting how people interpret differently. FWIW it's my ex's and mine "song"

Daughters by John Mayer. I'm not a huge fan of his anyways, but I want to turn homicidal or slit my wrists when I hear those opening chords. Unfortunately, it seems to be at every wedding I've attended in recent memory. How appropriate to the relationship between DH and his daughter could be summed up in that song. It was his ring tone for her. I used to just cringe when I heard it.

Yep I must be a weirdo too since I like a lot of the songs that have been named. A lot I have never heard of either.
But for me there are just tooo many to name but this one jump into my mind immediately! Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana! It is just screaming!!!!! AAAAGGGHHH!
Oh and everything sung by Bob Dylan. The man cannot sing! He may be a good songwriter but he cannot sing!

Jack Wagner All I Need All I need Is just a little more time To be sure what I feel Is it all in my mind Cause it seems so hard to believe That you're all I need I mean I was thinking I needed someone smarter, sexier, ... something. I have to really think about this because I find it hard to believe that you, I mean you of all people, are adequate to be all I need.

Haven't listened to the song but sometimes some songs only have 16 words repeated over and over so maybe they each wrote one word? And I misread the bolded to say THE POPE - and thought damn wonder if he needed the royalties then adjusted my glasses!!

Got another one. That stupid bang on the drum song. I don't want to work I want to bang on the drum all day I don't want to play I just want to bang on the drum all day… Makes me want want to bang on something all right...anyone who thinks it's a good idea to play that song. no...no... no... Todd Rundgren can do no wrong (even if it's a semi-awful song).

OK, question for you all - when you are listening to, singing along with a song - what is your perspective: are you "saying it to someone else" or is someone else saying it to "you"? What if you are singing along with a song being sung by the opposite gender? Does that change your perspective? What if you are not the gender the song is being sung to (based on the lyrics)? Does the perspective of the song influence how much you like it?
