Not Make Believe vs. Silver Girl

[tothegypsy]

Yes for me, lyrics like "it hurts my feelings, it hurts my self-esteem...it was the best of times, it was the worst of times" are just so cliched and rehashed that they make the song unworthy of being on the actual album for me.

Sure, "girlie girl" might be a little silly, but I can't say I've heard it in a song 1200 times before. And it doesn't sound like Stevie wrote it write after watching Oprah and Dr. Phil, which is what Not Make Believe sounds like to me. To be fair though, I do enjoy the production and instrumentation on Not Make Believe.
