Call him Mr Raider, call him Mr Wrong, call him Mr Vain
Call him Mr Raider, call him Mr Wrong, call him insane
He'd say : I know what I want, and I want it now
I want you, 'cause I'm Mr Vain
I know what I want, and I want it now
I want you, 'cause I'm Mr Vain
Call me Raider, call me wrong
Call me insane, call me Mr Vain
Call me what ya like,
As long as you call me, time and again
Feel the presence of the aura of the man none to compare
Loveless dying for a chance
Just to touch a hand, or a moment to share
Can't deny the urge that makes them want to lose themselves
To the debonair one
Hold me back the simple fact is that I'm all that
And I'm always near
One sexy can't perplex me now, you know who's raw
As if you didn't know before
I know what I want, and I want it now : I want you
Then I want a little more
Girls are all over the world
They hope and pray and die for men like me
Cause I'm the one begotten son that breaks the mold
Get a look at the male epitome
Style has never seen that makes you want to grab and hold
And squeeze real tight
Who's gonna be the one to save you from yourself
When you want to take a bite
Please oh baby please
You beg, you want to say you got to get some caught up in the charm
That I laid on thick, and now there's nowhere to run
Just another fish to on the hook of my lines yeah I keep many
Females longing for a chance to win my heart with S-E-X and plenty
Call him Mr Raider, call him Mr Wrong, call him insane
He'd say : I know what I want, and I want it now
I want you, 'cause I'm Mr Vain
I know what I want, and I want it now
I want you, 'cause I'm Mr Vain
Call me Raider, call me wrong
Call me insane, call me Mr Vain
Call me what ya like,
As long as you call me, time and again
Feel the presence of the aura of the man none to compare
Loveless dying for a chance
Just to touch a hand, or a moment to share
Can't deny the urge that makes them want to lose themselves
To the debonair one
Hold me back the simple fact is that I'm all that
And I'm always near
One sexy can't perplex me now, you know who's raw
As if you didn't know before
I know what I want, and I want it now : I want you
Then I want a little more
Girls are all over the world
They hope and pray and die for men like me
Cause I'm the one begotten son that breaks the mold
Get a look at the male epitome
Style has never seen that makes you want to grab and hold
And squeeze real tight
Who's gonna be the one to save you from yourself
When you want to take a bite
Please oh baby please
You beg, you want to say you got to get some caught up in the charm
That I laid on thick, and now there's nowhere to run
Just another fish to on the hook of my lines yeah I keep many
Females longing for a chance to win my heart with S-E-X and plenty

One is a guy who wants to love someone, but only is noticed for his looks and so he is very vain and strives to keep those looks because he is afraid of being alone--he sees his looks as his only thing to offer women, and so he is very vain. "Call me whatever as long as you call me. I'm loveless and dying for a chance to hold someone's hand and share a moment (more than sex)." He thinks that his looks can get him any woman he wants. He says that "one sexy can't perplex me now", meaning the woman isn't going to confuse him by rejecting him. He wants her and more with her, so she should just give in.
On the flip side, the girl in the song is saying that she thinks he is crazy. She isn't swooning for his looks like everyone else (and he hasn't given her any other reason to care). His vanity is driving her away. She calls him Mr. Wrong over and over again.
After she rejects him, he blows it off and says that women all over the world want men like him and that she is going to regret it when she changes her mind and wants him. ("Whose gonna be the one to save you...when you want to take a bite?") He consoles himself saying that he has many women that want him and want to win his heart, and that he didn't mean the things he said before--they were just lines, so forget her.
I think he was rejected by the only woman he really, truly wanted and is surprised by the sting of rejection because he has never felt it before. It's a case of sour grapes--he can't have her so he didn't want her in the first place.
This is just my stab at the song meaning. I had never heard the song before today and so I came here to see what it could mean, but no one really commented on the meaning so I signed up for an account here, lol. I agree with ya'll that it is very catchy. It will probably be in my head for at least a week. Anyone have a different opinion or perspective as to what this song could mean?
Btw, the lyrics are a little off. She never says, "Call ME insane." She says, "Call HIM insane." It's funny how one word like that could change the entire meaning of the song.
i hope its not about me
so catchy tho
part of me does want it to be about me
