Ok so, I made the mistake of listening to local radio the other day, and since then I've had that 90's classic 'Mysterious Girl' as a permanent earworm. Can't shift it. It's still going round as I type.
Anyway, it's given me pause to reflect on the lyrics (over and over, including the rap), and I'm wondering why a man would write a song like that. It's all romantic longing, and it doesn't get more graphic than 'getting closer now and feeling the warmth within'. So, presumably a man wrote that song, not necessarily Pete, and he wrote it to appeal to teenage girls. So it's not the true expression of a man in lust with a girl (presumably a woman over the age of consent). So, do men actually ever feel like this about women? Or is it like the Beatles 'I wanna hold your hand' rather than 'I wanna fuck you in a robotic, jackhammer, porn video sort of way while you look on blankly or appear to be in pain'? Telling the gullible ladies what they want to hear, that sort of thing?
I hope this makes some sense, and I expect the answer will be 'of course some men feel that way sometimes - don't lump them all into the jackhammer box...'
