at first i thought it was a romantic song.....

but then the more i pay attention to the words, the more confuse i am

is this song suppose to serenade his 'rediscover' love of his life (now that he had his fun)
and the mushy stuff and groveling will win her forgiveness?

and is the person he singing about/to suppose to be flatter/moved that he 's soooo magnanimous (sp)/ altruistic
"I'd rather have bad times with you, than good times with someone else".....as if the girl is so needy of him
being there....and to ignore the fact that he can just "leave and be alone"

"And then I met someone
and thought she could replace you
we got a long just fine
we wasted time because she was not you
we had a lot of fun
though we knew we were faking
love was not impressed with our connection they were all lies, all lies"

and just b'cos LV "had a change of heart" the girl?is just supposed to thankherluckystarsherman's back!
puleeeeeeeeeze!

the girl should just tell him to f off and go dance with his father instead
