Love song similarities.

I decided to compare To Be With You- Mr. Big, and More Than Words- Extreme, both my favorite songs, both my favorite bands, both love songs. They both take the view point of showing love, rather than saying it, which is so very romantic in my opinion. They both state how either they will show love, or want to be shown love, and that "I love you" is not going to cut it. Extreme is, not only the most amazing band (with the most handsome members), but they are also a very profound band that, in their time, were looked up to. The songs differ however because of the approach, it seems that in the Extreme song the angle is that they are already dating and he doesn't want her to tell him, it's just that it'd be easier for her to show him rather than speak the words. Then, in Mr. Big's song, he's not with a significant other, but he wants to be, and he's saying that if they were together (which they should) that he would show her the love she never was given.

Shifting from initial intent to suggestive opinion, both the songs To Be With You- Mr. Big, and More Than Words- Extreme suggest that saying "I love you" to someone is not as effective as showing someone, because actions mean more than words. If yo tell someone who has been hurt by love that you love them, it won't mean as much, because they heard it and were hurt. However, if you show them you love them, that will mean so much more because they never were shown love. They are both suggesting to be more romantic and show love and affection as opposed to just saying it, because words only go so far.
