Send "Your Boyfriend Sucks" Ringtone to Cell

You're better off without him
Don't call him
He's breaking your heart.

He's hanging with your best friend
And you're waiting there
It's tearing you apart.

He lied to you a thousand times,
When I was there he kept you waiting.

And I'm still here waiting there
To catch you if you fall.
I don't know why I care so much
When I shouldn't care at all.

Finally got the nerve to tell you
How much you mean to me
You said that I was your best friend,
A real sweet guy
But that's all I'd ever be.

    General Comment:I listened to this song many years ago. I listened to the film audio at the end but never thought much of it but decided to see if it works. i dated 3 girls that didn't lift the button to let me in and i only ended up dating them for a couple of months or a week or 2, then the one girl who lifted that button i have been with for 3 years now. <3 u Rhiarna

    General Comment:Poor sod, I know how that one feels.

    Probably the most straightforward song title ever, too.

    General Comment:this song is so sad to me. Basically its about a guy who's very close to a girl and she tells him about all of her relationship troubles and he sits there and listens even though he's practically in love with her. when he tells her how he feels, she says that he is very nice and sweet but they could never go out and expects him to still want to be her crying shoulder. very horrible situation.

    General Comment:I cant stress enough how girls are like this in many ways. First, they go for the asshole 'hot guys' im not bad looking and im a nice guy but for fucks sake i guess she doesnt like me. He goes for the guy who just wants to touch her tits and ass. Then she tells her friend that she just wants to be bestfriends. the ataris are hitting the nail on the head and wrote a song that can relate to most guys because girls can be freaking life sucking and make you absolutely love them and then say your just a best friend. This song makes sad but kinda happy because its a song to relate to.

    General Comment:i agree with konfusion. I love the ataris because they're just so blatent and honest. It's like this song sounds like some highschool band made it in their garage while they were high but it still sounds great. The ataris just doesn't even need to try. I relate to this song because i have this awesome guy friend (well two) who ttoally heart me, but i have a bf (who can very often be douche-ish). So basically i play the bitchy chick hu turns down the nice guy lol. Love my life :)

    General Comment:this is sung by a guy who is watching his female friend get abused and used by a man who doesnt even care about her. he is basically in the background wishing he had her so finally he gets up the nerve to tell her and she shoots him down saying that they can only just be friends. he is taken back by the statement of "best friend" but knows he will always be there for her

    General Comment:Actually, One time when I was talking to Kris, He said that this song is about when he was with one of his girlfriends that left him for a girlfriend. So the song should be called 'Your Girlfriend Sucks'. Kris said that it didnt sound right so he used 'Your Boyfriend Sucks'
