A tip from ur uncle john...
So I was thinkin about relationships as it pertains to...songs about relationships and uh, I was trying to think of... well it occurred to me that the key... I figured out the key to a relationship and how to make it work. Check it out; this is a tip from your Uncle John. When you first meet somebody you find out they like you first of all. A friend of a friend of theirs says he or she really likes you and it kills you-floors you, sends you to the ground and you gotta pick yourself up off the ground. Then you get their phone number and you call ‘em up, right? And you say “Yeah, this is a great phone conversation, can I see ya sometime?” and they say this, they say “I’d like that.” I’d like that makes you fall on the floor again, your hearts about to stop because of ‘I’d like that’. Nothin’ feels better than ‘I’d like that’. So now your blood pressures goin, you’re six feet off the ground, you can’t sleep because of ‘I’d like that’. So then you hang out for a while and you call and talk on the phone all the time and then you drop the bomb, what feels like the bomb, you say “Ya know? I’ve been thinkin’ about you a lot.” And she goes “ooohh” and you go “what happened?” and she goes, “I’m sorry, I just-I just-it’s, I’ve been thinking about you too.” Bam! higher into the sky. But Now, ‘I’d like that’? Done. Now you’re up to ‘I’ve been thinkin about you’, then however many months pass that you’re comfortable saying it,you say, “I gotta tell you somethin’” and they say “what?” and you go, “I’m in love with you.” And nothing in the world sounds better than, ‘I’m in love with you.’ And then maybe she starts crying or maybe he goes *choking sound*. And now you’re like “I’m in love with you”, but what doesn’t work? ‘I’d like that’ and ‘I’ve been thinking about you’, now we’re at ‘I’m in love with you’. Then maybe someday we move onto ‘I love you’. Fast forward. now you’re like ‘I love you a lot; I love you more than anything in life.’ Now ‘I love you’ doesn’t work. There’s a threshold that keeps movin’ up. Fast forward like six months, six weeks whatever the case may be now you’re on like ‘I wanna marry you’, ‘I wanna impregnate you with my love, I just wanna send my love to you, damnit words don’t work anymore. Then you say this line and you know, you know you’ve used this line before, ‘I just wish they put a new word in the dictionary bigger than love cuz love just doesn’t describe what I feel!’ And so then now, he or she starts asking “do you love me?” And you start going “Of course I love you.” “Well say it” then it becomes “say it twice, say it three times.” And then, you cross a really interesting point where all of a sudden it becomes “I hate you. I hate you.” And you go “Oh my God, she hates me.” Now it’s like “I hate you more than anything.” And then it’s like “We’re over!” And they go “No we’re not!” and they go “Yes we are!” Now the words completely do not work at all. You’re left with nothing. You’re throwin’ punches underwater. You’re done. You know what the moral of that story is? If there is one: Never, ever, ever underestimate the power of, ‘I’d like that
