More Than Never to the tune of "More Than Words," by Extreme Sayin' I hate you is not the words you want to hear from me It's not that I want you to keel over dead, but if you only knew how there is no way that we'll ever date More than forever is all you have to live to make me love you Now you don't have to wonder how I feel You should already know Just 'cause I'm smart you have torn my life apart More than forever is how long you'll be waiting for the song that says I might meet you one of these nights to tell you something sweet and short that's not "I'll see you in court!" La di da More Than Never Now that I've tried to talk to you and make you understand what you ought to do is close your eyes and just reach out your hands and turn off the screens that show me naked and violated More than never is all I ever needed you to spend abusing human rights If you hadn't, I wouldn't hate you You know it's what you deserve ___________ I don't think it matters that much which "ever" is in each section, for most of it. "More than never" is not a phrase which is likely to be incorporated into standard English anytime soon. Used in every section of this song, it ranges from logical if unwieldy and grammatically bad to illogical to threatening. Hopefully, the corrections deal with that. I'm sure that many lyric writers throughout the years have tended to be too ravaged by their emotions and life situations to perfectly describe their rage and hatred every time they write. Since I don't sing a lot in public, and have never had such a large audience for that, I was thinking about the singing part and not the wording as much as I probably should have. Then there's also the vicious, sickening, rapacious lethality of the conglomerate, which, while it led to the feelings that created the lyrics, also makes singing for their ears less than cheerful. Singing your hatred for haters is probably futile.
