Love Songs We Never Want to Hear Again (14)

Extreme, “More Than Words”

With their Rapunzel hair and chiseled cheekbones, you wouldn’t kick Extreme out of bed for eating crackers. But you might kick them out of bed for being assholes. “More Than Words” packages metal-creep chauvinism in sensitive acoustic shrink-wrap. “‘I love you’ is not the words I want to hear from you,” they sing. What is the words they want to hear? How about something along the lines of fuck me. Just don’t say it with your mouth. Say it with your passive, wordless compliance.
