She called me late last night to say she loved me so
It didn't matter anymore but I say she never cared
And that she never will I'd do it all again
I guess I'll have to wait until then
If I get drunk well I'll pass out
On the floor now baby
You won't bother me no more
If you're drinkin' well you know
That you're my friend and I say
I think I'll have myself a beer.

She called me late last night to say she loved me,
So..? but I guess he changed her mind.
Well I should have known it wouldn't be
All right, but I can't live without her
So I won't even try

Maybe some day, I'll think of what to say.
Maybe next time I'll remember what to do,
She looks like heaven, maybe this is hell,
Said she'd do it all again, she'd promise not to tell!

If I get drunk well, I'll pass out
On the floor now baby
You won't bother me no more
(and she said)

It's OK boy cause you know
We'll be good friends
And I say, I think I'll have myself a beer.

    My Interpretation:The lines that stand out:
    "She looks like Heaven, maybe this is Hell"
    He's saying he still has feelings for her, but she'll only put him through Hell again if he goes back to her.
    "If I get drunk and I'm passed out on the floor, you won't bother me no more."
    The thought of her doesn't bother him while he's intoxicated, but it's not really a good solution (which is why he words it so bluntly).

    General Comment:This song reminds me of a previous realtionship. We broke up on bad terms but still had a bunch of mutuall friends who would throw parties. She broke up with me, which left me with a lot of issues and stuff, so i started drinking.

    "She called me late last night
    To say she loved me so
    It didn't matter anymore,
    I'll say she never cared
    And that she never will
    I'd do it all again
    I guess I'll have to wait until then
    "
    Basically my ex would call me late at night to tell me she still loved me and that she cares about me, but thats all ruined to me because of what she did to me. I'd do it all over again until I'm able to fall back in love. If she did this to me, then she never cared at all about me.

    "If I get drunk well
    I'll pass out on the floor now baby,
    You won't bother me no more,
    And if your drinkin' well
    You know that you're my friend
    And I say I think I'll have myself a beer."

    to me that represents me getting black out drunk because either i thought about her or she was at the same party and i just completely erase my mind of the night. I mean, I wouldnt cause a scene at a party with a bunch of friends around cause she's there and im still not over what she did to me. So if i see her there, we'll be "friends" and i guess I'll down a beer.

    "She called me late last night
    To say she loved me, so
    But I guess he changed her mind.
    Well I should have known it wouldn't be all right
    But I can't live without her
    So I won't even try..."

    I still love her, I wont even try to get back with her, I know what will spawn from that. I should know better.

    "Maybe some day, I'll think of what to say,
    Maybe next time I'll remember what to do! (do, do, do)
    She looks like heaven, maybe this is hell,
    Said she'd do it all again
    She promised not to tell!"

    "Maybe some day I'll think of something to say to her, maybe I'll remmeber something to do to make things okay between us. She's so beautiful, but she has put me through some of the darkest times in my life. She told me that she'd hook up with me and promise not to tell her new bf at the time. What the fuck am I supposed to do?"

    "If I get drunk well,
    I'll pass out on the floor now baby
    You won't bother me no more
    (and she said) It's OK boy cause
    You know we'll be good friends and I say
    I think I'll have myself a beer
    I think I'll have myself a
    Woaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ohhhhhhhhhh oh
    Woaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ohhhhhhhhhh oh
    Woaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ohhhhhhhhhh oh
    Yeah Yeah Yeah!
    Oooh oooh Oooh!
    Woohoohooo!"

    Basically, if i get drunk enough I'll black out adn you don't get to me any more. You cant mess with my head any more.

    General Comment:This song reminds me of the party after I finished school.
    I'd intended to just drink myself into oblivion but everyone was insisting on having these heartfelt discussions with me.
    All I remember thinking was "just go away and let me drink..."
    And I was so sick of one of the conversations, and my friend took me away and gave me a beer.

    Woke up the next morning without a hangover, and thought... well. If I had have gotten drunk and passed out on the floor, I wouldn't have been stuck having all these emotional conversations.
    Turned out that everyone who was drinking/letting me drink were indeed friends of mine...

    Memory:This song reminds me a lot of my break up.. When the girl first told me she liked me, it was later at night... And I didn't really care that she liked be but I figured that I should date her for a while... As time when on I started getting feeling for her... The only thing that I didn't like about her was all her problems.. But I droned them out with other thing... When we finally broke up... She said "I still want to be friends" then I said "Yea that's fine.. I don't care" and walked away and drank a beer when I got home... We haven't spoken sence then (and she sits by me in English class)... This song means to me is that even if you don't really like a chick and you date her you will get feelings for her. When she's gone, she's gone... You can't have a good friendship with a girl when there was a relationship involved..

    General Comment:I think it's maybe about a girl whose after him and tells him she loves him and keeps calling him up etc so he drinks instead of doing something useful then the girl move on and he realises what he's missed.

    General Comment:its such a great song tham kaes ya wanna get up and drink - but they have the lyrics that says "i cant live without her so i wont even try"? - hinting at suicidal feelings possibly - but set to a happy beer drinking rythm - i think genius is what you call this song
