Message to my Girl Lyrics

Lyric discussion by kooswillem 

Cover art for Message to my Girl lyrics by Split Enz

I think the singer has some superficial objections to say \'I love you\' and other \'corny statements he first feels to \'hip\' for.\n\nBut as the pressure becomes higher he decides the time has come to tell his girl he loves her, and no longer cares as much for his earlier objections.\n\nFinally he is in a state in which he wants to sing it to the world, no matter what, no longer wants to bury his head in the sand, ignoring the drive to share his feelings.

My Interpretation

@kooswillem I agree with this, but do you see the irony in the fact that he doesn’t actually say the word he is frightened by?
