This song is not "romantic" at all. The guy is pressuring his girlfriend to sleep with him.

--- or blow him...

Interesting interpretations here, but not really backed up by the song. "What 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'". It's clear the singer believes his lover's repeated "I love you" is just a phrase, and not sincere. He does want something more, but that's not exactly "pressuring" for anything. (As far as the song goes, the lovers could already easily be physically involved, but there's no real love on one side.)
Exactly why I'm doing song interpretations on Wikipedia talk pages at 4 AM when I should be working on an overdue project is beyond me, but there you go. JRM ยท Talk 01:56, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
