Tell me what you wanted to hear
Let me do the right thing
Let me do the wrong thing
And if it's ever this clear
I will only say it once
Just let me turn the amps way up
So you can hear nothing
And if I die tonight, then I guess I die tonight
Let me go on
Just say what you wanted to say
I cannot stand these talks, dear
They only get us nowhere
It's never resolved
We only run around
You always say that anyone could be just like me
If it was a different time and a different place to be
You would go on

    General Comment:The speaker in this song is obviously done with the relationship, to the point that they couldn't care one way or the other if it ends. The most charged part of the song, for me is "you always say that anyone could be just like me". What more is needed to convey what an unhealthy relationship this is.

    General Comment:I Feel Like Relating To This Song Is Very Easy To Me. Me & My Fiancee Always Fight Like This. It's So Ridiculous And I Get So Sick Of It. I Feel Myself Constantly Falling In And Out Of Love With Him...
    And Even Though Sometimes I Feel I Could Do Better, Theres This Weird Grip He Has On Me....One i Could Never Get Out Of.

    General Comment:I love this song. It is different than alot of his other stuff. Very upbeat and catchy. It always makes me smile. And someone said he was 15 or 16 when he wrote this? I didn't know that but the first time I heard it, I thought he sounded yonger.
    He's so adorable.

    General Comment:what Mr. ReadyMade makes the most sense to me.
    that's what i always thought it was about,
    meaningless sex.
    there's also something slightly..
    erotic. about the rhythm and his tone.
    but maybe that's just me. XD
