Lyrics
Anyway, I wanna thank you very much once more for coming
This is my favorite thing to do, to perform
Ah, and you coming allows me to do that
And I really, really do appreciate that
Honestly and genuinely
I will now recede back in my stage persona
I just blacked out for ten seconds
Love songs used to be so beautiful, you know?
"Let us go then you and I, when the evening is spread out against the sky"
"Like a patient etherized upon a table"
T.S. Elliot, beautiful
Love songs nowadays just as beautiful, guys, if not more
Justin Bieber, One Direction, Usher, you know them
You know their love songs
Beautiful, complex love songs
But these new artists, the J Biebs, the One D's, the Usher's
They've have done some very strange
To the format, the structure and the purpose of love songs
And I tried to capture how they've changed it with this love song
I hope you enjoy it and most importantly, mark the differences
Jason Derulo
I love your hair, I love your name, I love the way you say it
I love your heart and you're so smart, 'cause you gave away it
I love your sis', I love your dad, I love your mum
But more than all of that I love the fact that you are dumb enough
To not realize everything I've said has been said before
In a thousand ways, in a thousand songs, sung with the same four chords
But you'll still love it, let me finger you, yeah finger you, finger you
Oh girl, I hope you don't think that I'm rude
When I tell you that I love you boo
I also hope that you don't see through
This cleverly constructed ruse
Designed by a marketing team
Cashing in on puberty and low self-esteem
And girls' desperate need to feel loved
America says we love a chorus
But don't get complicated and bore us
Though meaning might be missin'
We need to know the words after just one listen so
Repeat stuff, repeat stuff, repeat stuff
Repeat stuff, repeat stuff, repeat stuff
