Discover the story of the song > Message to My Girl – Split Enz

The protagonist doesn't want to say "I love you" or "I want you" because it's cooler to seem detached and tough. However, he realizes it's time to be honest with his partner and express his feelings. He's happy in their love and wants to share a simple message with the world. The end of the song hints at some pain in the relationship, but overall the message is about the importance of expressing love openly.
