this song is abt stupid society norms, narcissism, and writing songs about ppl who hurt you. Thanks Carly Simon.
lyrics
Well I could hear the upper cut, I could hear it in my front yard
I heard you saying the alphabet backwards to make sure you weren't hit that hard.
You know that boys will be "boys," you know that's "what we do"
We take a beating just fine but then we go down hard when our hearts get too bruised.
I heard the party going on outside, and you started grooving.
Well I've had it with these fake smiles, I've had it with all this complimenting my coat.
I've taken steps to implement my slow demise and wreck this whole d*mn boat
I heard you're looking for more, I've heard you're getting really desperate
I heard you're making calls to everyone and asking them if they will give you attention.
I heard the party going on outside, and you started grooving.
You started bruising. And you started using.
I'm so vain: I think this song is probably about you, it's probably about you.
(Just like everything, I think this song is about you, it's just another thing about you.)
