AFI – Love Is A Many Splendored Thing

"Love Is A Many Splendored Thing" as written by and Sammy/webster Fain....
Ah!
You think you've got the looks
You think you've got the fashion
You thought you'd have me wanting more
But don't like my reaction
You think you're really something
You're nothing to me now
You thought you'd keep me coming
Without ever thinking how
I hate you
I hate you
I hate you
I hate you
You think you're really special
You think I think you're best
You think you're really something?
You're no better than the rest
You've got everything you wanted
Don't let yourself be fooled
You thought that you could play the game
But I just changed the rules
I hate you
I hate you
I hate you
I hate you
I hate you
You!
Why do I hate you
You think you've got the looks
You think you've got the fashion
You thought you'd have me wanting more
But don't like my reaction
You think you're really something
You're nothing to me now
You thought you'd keep me coming
Without ever thinking how
I hate you
I hate you
I hate you
I hate you
I hate you
I hate you
I hate you
I hate you

    General CommentThis song pretty much says & describes all my feelings for me towards my ex boyfriend. He used to think he was the king of the shint-pile and that he had lots of friends, when really...he wasn't the king and he didn't have many friends at all...plus he was a b*tch to me & never allowed me to wear what i wanted to wear or act the way I wanted to act...I'm so glad I dumped him:)

    General CommentI think this is about all the popular people who think they're so much bigger and better than everybody because they can be smartarses and get high or drunk which makes them big and tough.
    'I hate you' put's how I feel about this perfectly!!! :)

    General Comment"Love Is A Many Splendored Thing"

    Look at the title you nit-wits. This song is probably about love. But I also have to agree with EndIsForever98; it might also have to do with society and people's love for material things. Or also people's ways in thinking everyone will want to look up tp them or automaticaly like someone because they're higher class or have the ego-inflated attitude.

    Either way you look at it, which doesn't really matter, it's just a good song.

    General CommentThis song is pretty cool, and I think that even though it seems like most AFI songs are about conforming to society and stuff, I think this one is about love, or rather, the lack thereof.

    General Commentwhats with all everyone and "oh i think this song is about love". The meaning of this song is lost to me, (it could be society) but its NOT A LOVE SONG. in "smile" theres a part "ill set the world on fire and in the burning light i'll write my first love song and i will feel warmth". in other words Davey hasnt written a love song yet.

    anyways sorry to rag and its still a kick ass song.
