Era Might Posted January 9, 2013 Author Share Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) I really, really don't think it's supposed to be taken that literally. The song is about loving someone for who they are, not what they have. And he didn't say *I* can be starving, broke, homeless - he says *we* can be. As long as he's with the woman he loves he doesn't care if they have a mansion or a tiny apartment. Anyway, it's just a song dude. Well of course it's just a song. I never suggested otherwise. It's romantic teenage tripe, is all, but catchy. And it has Michael Madsen...he makes it less romantic tripe.

KnightofChrist Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 If you're starving, broke, and homeless, I guarantee she won't be by your side. Love is stronger than those things, and it is a act of the will. Some woman would choose to stay with the man they love no matter what. Even if he's a bum.

Tantum Ergo Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I also don't get the hate for Justin Bieber. I don't care much for his music, but it's basically on par with most pop music out there today (but not saying it's good :P). The sentiment of the song is not anything new. Aren't there songs from the 50s that express the same thought, only with a different musical style? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fides' Jack Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 It's jealousy. Guys are jealous of the attention that a 4'8" (exaggeration) tall boy is getting from tens of millions of teenage girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) If I could make the money he makes, doing what he does, I would not even think about it. I say more power to him. Edited January 9, 2013 by Nihil Obstat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not hating on Bieber, I kinda like the song...except for the romantic tripe. In the real world, people have babies and bills lol.

Selah Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Selah, Kitteh, a couple things I CAN spell without "U"... Big Sean's last "romantic" song involved him chanting to a woman's posterior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norseman82 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I hold back vomit every time one of my staff members sing his praises... As opposed to Bieber not holding back vomit at the concert in Arizona..my cousin's kid was working security and was a few feet away from the spray.

PadrePioOfPietrelcino Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Funny thing is if you just change a couple words around...many of the songs remind me of the type of music I grew up singing in Church... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
