I judge by what she's wearing
Just how many heads I'm tearing
Off of assholes keep coming on to her
Each night seems like it's getting worse
And I wish she'd take the night off
So I don't have to fight off
Every asshole coming on to her
It happens every night she works
They'll go and ask the DJ
Find out just what would she say
If they all tried coming on to her
Don't they know it's never going to work?
They think they'll get it inside her
With every drink they buy her
As they all try coming on to her
This time somebody's getting hurt

[Chorus]
Here comes the next contestant
Is that your hand on my girlfriend?
Is that your hand?
I wish you'd do it again
I'll watch you leave here limping
I wish you'd do it again
I'll watch you leave here limping
There goes the next contestant

I even fear the ladies
They're cool but twice as crazy
Just as bad for coming on to her
Don't they know it's never gonna work?
Each time she bats an eyelash
Somebody's grabbing her ass
Everyone is coming on to her
This time somebody's getting hurt

[Chorus]

I'm hating what she's wearing
Everybody here keeps staring
Can't wait till they get what they deserve
This time somebody's getting hurt

Here comes the next contestant
Is that your hand on my girlfriend?
Is that your hand?
I wish you'd do it again
I'll watch you leave here limping
I wish you'd do it again
I'll watch you leave here limping
I wish you'd do it again
Each night seems like it's getting worse
I wish you'd do it again
This time somebody's getting hurt

There goes the next contestant

    General Comment:It's about jealousy....a guy is jealous of the attention his girlfriend (a bartender perhaps?) gets. He's becoming angry. NOT a Nickelback fan (they bore me), but this song isn't too shabby...

    General Comment:I have to agree with EMILY, anabellesays, and ally4life. If she was a stripper, she wouldn't be in any clothes at all, so the concept of him hating what she's wearing is moot. He's more than likely a regular at the bar, or a bouncer.

    General Comment:I agree with EMILY and anabellesays because alot of times when guys get drunk they hit on the bartenders so it makes alot of since

    General Comment:I thought it was about his girlfriend being a stripper or something and I think he doesn't like how people treat her when she's working.

    General Comment:Correct Lyrics:

    I judge by what she's wearing
    just how many heads im tearing
    off of assholes coming on to her
    (each night seems like its getting worse)
    and i wish she'd take the night off
    so I dont have to bite off
    every asshole coming on to her
    (it happens every night she works)
    they'll go and ask the DJ
    By now just what would she say
    if they all tried coming on to her
    (dont they know its never gonna work)
    they think they'll get inside her
    with every drink they buy her
    as they all try coming on to her
    (this time somebodies getting hurt)

    here comes the next contestant

    is that. your hand. on my. girlfriend.
