"I Love You, Me Neither, expresses the superiority of eroticism over sentimentalism....there exist millions of songs devoted to romantic, sentimental love, encounters, discoveries, jealousies, illusions, disillusions, meetings, betrayals, remorse, hates, etc. So why not devote a song to a kind of love much more current these days, physical love? "I love you..." is not an obscene song, it seems reasonable to me and fills in a gap. The explanation is that the girl says "I love you" during love and that the man, with the ridiculousness of virility, doesn't believe it. He thinks that she only says it in the instant of enjoyment, of pleasure,. I happen to believe that, and it's a bit my fear of being had, but it's also an aesthetic move, a search for the absolute."
Thanks again to English philipchek of YouTube and of Paris for corrections and background, also to Sylvie Sims, "A Fistful of Gitanes".

subtitle correction: 1:07 should read "tu es la vague" instead of "tu est."
