A few things have flashed across my mind that AllforMJ observed way earlier in the thread, that I keep meaning to post. One of them being the observation that the lyrics in the past songs started out referring to, "she", then, in later lyrics it became, "she"/"you", then gradually the lyrics referred to directly, "you" and now in this song its a very pointed "
you". He's even reminding "her" exactly what "she"
said.
AllforMJ was right, that progression played out just exactly that way.
Just wanted to point that out, how observant you are, AllforMJ
I found that interesting - couldn't help but notice thought I'd mention it.
You hit on the right combination of words too, to describe the feeling I get of how he's feeling too, both "optimistic" and "lovesick" at the same time.
It must be an interesting feeling to have been feeling and singing because its an interesting feeling to feel, and to hear.
Its like a dichotomy, it seems sort of, "
Lawwwwwwd ha mercy what's up with you woman' and, sort of WOW, at the same time.
I love the way he says
'dear' too. So nurturing, respectful, kind and so full of sweet love.

Sweet Love comes to mind

I was just thinking about something I'd wondered concerning "her" and thought that I would share that thought with you. Its a thought I had after reading AllforMJ's post about "optimistic" and "lovesick" at the same time.
Couldn't help but wonder what you guys would say to "her" - after hearing this bittersweet song.
I thought, (my advice to her would be), 'try to have fun with it all, try to see the entertainment value in LIFE itself' ... try to just enjoy the love, from such a special man period, Michael Jackson is (sorry I can't stop using present tense even if I use past sometimes), he's a very special human, and to be loved by this one, if you are, is something very VERY special and not to be overlooked as just that, the most special love you could have, not to mis-estimate, take lightly, or take for granted in any way, and if "you" are also the one who "ran away" for any reason, then, I guess "you" figured that out by now anyway and I can only wish for you somehow you'll, by some miracle have, one more chance at love. Someone once said, God is a God of second chances, and third chances ... I would say, enjoy the fact that the love was real, if was as it sounds and continue to give love out into the world because in the end its actually, truly and really - all about L.O.V.E. Love is the answer to all that we are. I believe MJ was inspired by songs like these (when you have time, and speaking of Sweet Love

Speaking of "her" having it 'figured' out, that word, 'figured' is what I believe he's saying because it sounds to me more like,
"you have got it figured when you're right" than "
you got addicted with your eye" although, I do hear what you all are saying sounds like 'addicted', I just also more clearly hear,
when you're right, for absolute so, with that in mind I went back to the word that initially sounds like, 'addicted' sounds more like 'figured' almost not 1000% like
"when you're right" IMHO.
Addicted strikes me as one that might would wind up on the 'misheard lyric' list to me, LOL! me please, as they say - that's just to me.
Sorry!! Maaaaaan, this entire long thing began as just a random thought
- really! :doh:
Thanks for reading if you did! Gotta make like a cheerleader and split.
