So I stink at poems and stuff... I think this song is adorable... but my stupidity can't tell if it's a positive song or not. So here is a link to the song and a link to the lyrics. Can you please listen to the song and read the lyrics and tell me your opinions of it?
So I started looking into web sites that have people talking about what songs mean.. and here are two quotes from people on there:
One person's thoughts on it: 'i just love this song! seems like every song entitled 'sweet(est) thing' i adore...or at least the 2 others i know by chaka khan and lauryn hill :o) anyway, it's apparent in the lyrics that the love and pain shared is two-way, that there is give and take between them. the woman (Ali) in the song definitely has her faults ('throws me like a rubber ball', 'made me crawl' etc.), but he seems to be contributing to the storminess of the relationship as well and he acknowledges as much ('baby's got blue skies up ahead but in this i'm a rain cloud' 'you can sew it up but you still see the tear' = he has pained her in the past). and keep in mind the song is from his perspective; despite what they BOTH do to EACH other in their relationship, there is nothing like the love they have together :o) '
And another person's thoughts on it.... 'Okay - so I don't think that all of this song is about her not loving him as much as he loves her. When I first heard it I thought about a woman who makes a man work for her love. She makes him crawl before running, letting their relationship mature and deepen before going head over heels and keeping him together (catching him when he falls, etc). A good love requires hard work and can be stormy - it survives the rain and the thunder but the pair see the blue skies up ahead. The man in this song is definitely the weaker of the 2, but the woman encourages him to strengthen himself. I really like it!'
I don't know what to make of it. I think the song is adorble.. but I don't want people scratching their heads thinking.. Why did they pick THAT song???? I don't know what to do!
WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS???

Re: Help Help Me People!!!!!............
I think it's just about what you love honestly.( i mean picking the song. not the actual song) .. and half the people won't even pay attention to the lyrics beyond the chorus. . and they will just be focused on FRIGGIN happy you two are to be dancing together. . so if it makes you happy I say go for it. . .
