In Celebration Of Valentine's Day

I posted a while ago about what may be one of the most beautiful love songs I've heard in a while, Until You by Dave Barnes.

But on the taxi ride back to the hotel tonight, I was greeted by a one-two punch that was impossible to ignore on a special night like tonight. Girl You Know It's True, by the one and only Milli Vanilli, with a Can't Help Falling In Love With You (the almost unfathomably synthesized UB40 version... who knew reggae could be done so... white?). Wow. I was speechless.

So, in tribute to what could possibly be the worst love song ever performed by two men who didn't actually sing it, I give you, Girl, You Know It's True, in all its glory.

"So what are you doing back?"
"Well, I set back and thought about the days we used to do.
It really mean a lot to me, you mean a lot to me."
"I really mean that much to you?"
"Girl, you know it's true."

I'm in love with you girl 'cause you're on my mind,
you're the one I think about most every time.
And when you crack a smile and ev'rything you do
don't you understand girl this love is true.
You're so sickin' hand, lone sweetin' thing,
that ? like poison up on your skin.
It lightens up my day and that's also true,
together we are one, ? we are two.
To make it all mine, all mine is my desire,
cause you contain a quality, you that I admire.
To put it playin' simple, you rule my world,
so try to understand:

I'm in love girl, I'm so in love girl,
I'm just in love girl, and this is true.

Girl you know it's true,
uh uh uh, I love you.
Yes you know it's true,
uh uh uh, I love you.

Girl you know it's true,
my love - is for you.
Girl you know it's true,
my love - is for you.

This sizzling thing girl, I can't explain,
my emotions starts up when I hear your name.
Maybe a sweet, sweet voice would ring in my ear,
it stimulate my senses, girl when you are near.
And with your positive emotion love making enjoy,
there's no need to bust, it's like a girl and a boy.
These feelings I keep, I often wondering why,
so I thought I might discuss this ? is you and I.

Now what you wear, I don't care,
how ? before, the reason that I like a girl is for what you are.
If I ? think about it, you rule my world,
so try to understand:

I'm in love girl, I'm so in love girl,
I'm just in love girl, and this is true.

Girl you know it's true,
uh uh uh, I love you.
Yes you know it's true,
uh uh uh, I love you.

Girl you know it's true,
my love - is for you.

I'm in love with you girl, I'm in love with you girl [last word repeats]
I'm in love with you, I'm in love with you, I'm in love with you.

Girl you know it's true,
my love - is for you.
Girl you know it's true,
uh uh uh, I love you.
Yes you know it's true,
uh uh uh, I love you.


[EDIT] I should maybe just point out here that to get the full effect, you REALLY need to read these out loud. Especially, the "uh, uh, uh". Trust me on this, and don't worry about what your family or coworkers may be thinking. They may be laughing on the outside, but inside they are secretly envying your confidence and utter disregard for crippling social convention.
