tell me why love ain't nothin but a heartache

I did not use Instagram nearly as much as TikTok before this, but I don’t see much of an appeal to the app at all anymore. I instantly redownloaded Instagram at midnight and I ultimately wasn’t very satisfied. I think this is something that everyone should consider doing to test whether they are dependent on something that they use a lot, TikTok is clearly a great example of that. I’m very proud of myself that I had the willpower to push through. I guess the first positive thing is I made it, without cracking once. I feel that there’s no better fitting end than to update everyone on how my promise to give up Instagram and TikTok for 46 days went. Likewise, I believe that although it is more proper to use the word, 'in,' whether the phrase includes either 'want' or 'prefer,' its non-use is more a matter of common or colloquial preference. On the question of implication, I agree that if the word, 'in,' was included in the phrase of these lyrics, it could have been assumed to be an implied euphemism referring to a sexual act and the insertion of something into or inside of another, but I don't believe that was the intent of its absence.Īlas, I believe that the word, 'in,' was dropped from the common use of the phrase a long time ago, although it remained in meaning and has been used a little more frequently in the questioning form ('Is that the way in which you like it?'), though even there, it is now more often dropped in favor of, 'Is that the way you like it?' Otherwise, the lyrics to yet another somewhat older song should have been, 'That's the way (uh huh, uh huh) I like it!' I believe the word 'in' was dropped from the line in order meet the already common phrasing, but it could also have been dropped to comply with the rules of accentual-syllabic verse, allowing for five syllables with a major stress on the fourth (the word 'that'). I think it could be safely said that the rules of spoken and written grammar are only loosely applied to lyrics and poetry, often in favor of common or colloquial phrasing, accentual verse or rhyme.
