what would you do?

"what would you do? if my heart was torn in two? more than words to show you feel that your love for me was real.."
"what would you say? if i took those words away? then you couldn't make things new just by saying i love you"

robbie williams recently commented that the words " i love you " have become so commercialised that it's got to the point of being sickly. every pop song uses it without any real feeling or emotion attached. yet, as he said, it's still the 3 sweetest words anyone could say to their girl..

if they mean it...

more than words... feelings and actions... that's what matters... "more than words" is a 1990's classic that was recently remade...and i must say it's quite a nice remake..when i first heard it i thought it made alot of sense and was super romantic...the kinda song i wanted to sing to my girlfriend..

10 years on.. and i still feel the same way...

when it comes to such things, more than words is all we need..

"then you wouldn't have to say 'you love me' cos i'd already know... "

=)

i'm such an expert at words that i doubt a girl would trust me if i tried to sweet talk my way through... she'll think i just know how to say the right things at the right time...

well...yes and no...

yes in the sense i can phrase things better than others... i remember this guy tried to impress my female friend once..

what he MEANT to say was " there may be other girls out there whom you would typically call 'beautiful' but as far as i'm concerned, you're the prettiest girl i've ever met and the only one i could ever love"

what he ended up saying was...

" you know you're not actually that pretty... there're alot of girls prettier than you... but i still like you... doesn't that show i'm sincere?"

ouch....

my friend was like " how could i even get touched.... i was insulted..."

i would have said what was meant to be said... for sure.. cos i know enough english to know how to phrase things better...

but what cannot be faked is truth... trust me when i say there's a difference between sweet talk and speaking from the heart.. in fact, that guy did speak from the heart too. he just fumbled his words and the meaning that could have been so sweet ended up as an insult..

but girls aren't sure.. they always wonder.. "if this guy is so good at words, maybe it's all just an act.. guys are jian4 after all..."

cos of those jian4 guys, my job is alot tougher.. but in the end the girls are right.. it has to be... more than words...
