You know it really won't surprise me
If you're a wreck by the age of fourteen
The way you look
The way you look is fine
So often color-coordinated
Your sister she's an eighties fan
That's all right
Have I told you so is mine
You say your life will be the death of you
Tell me, do you wash your hair in honeydew
And long for all of them to fall in love with you
But they never do
Drinking vodka on the fire
Your mother has a watchful eye
So look out kid
She's onto you this time
Run away to a bed and breakfast
Console yourself with the Reader's Digest
Ringing yellow pages on the moon
You say your life will be the death of you
Tell me, do you wash your hair in honeydew
And long for all of them to fall in love with you
But they never do
No they never do
I'm gonna tell you something good about yourself
I'll say it now and I'll never say it about no one else
I'm gonna tell you something good about yourself
I'll say it now and I'll never say it about no one else
About no one else
If you're a wreck by the age of fourteen
The way you look
The way you look is fine
So often color-coordinated
Your sister she's an eighties fan
That's all right
Have I told you so is mine
You say your life will be the death of you
Tell me, do you wash your hair in honeydew
And long for all of them to fall in love with you
But they never do
Drinking vodka on the fire
Your mother has a watchful eye
So look out kid
She's onto you this time
Run away to a bed and breakfast
Console yourself with the Reader's Digest
Ringing yellow pages on the moon
You say your life will be the death of you
Tell me, do you wash your hair in honeydew
And long for all of them to fall in love with you
But they never do
No they never do
I'm gonna tell you something good about yourself
I'll say it now and I'll never say it about no one else
I'm gonna tell you something good about yourself
I'll say it now and I'll never say it about no one else
About no one else

Anyway, we noticed that when they played this song, the 2 younger boys that were there were crying, but not her mum and dad or anyone else. We were wondering what/who this song is based on that would reduce them to tears. Anyone know?
no one likes you except the people you don't want to like you, you're a piece of shit.
"and long for them to fall in love with you,
but they never do"
hence
"theyw ay you look
the way you look is fine" because the girl pressumably or boy is trying to change their look to fit in.
They feel abd about themself thus "I'm going to tell you something good about yourself..."
I sat in my bed last night, this song is a haunting reminder of my senior year, which is right now. A bunch of the "cool "indie" (they arenbt indie) kids at my school, who are popular, shunned me out, and I guess I tried to have them change their mind. Doesn't work, like yourself for who you are!
A truely intoxicating song. No pun intended
You know it really wont surprise me
If you're a wreck by the age of fourteen
The way you look
The way you look is fine
So often colour coordinated
your sister she's an Eighties fan
But that's alright
Have I told you so is mine
You say your life will be the death of you
Tell me, do you wash your hair in honey dew?
And long for all of them to fall in love with you
But they never do
Drinking vodka on the fly
Your mother has a watchful eye
So look out kid
She's onto you this time
Run away to a bed and breakfast
Console yourself with the Reader's Digest
Ringing the Yellow Pages all alone
You say your life will be the death of you
Tell me, do you wash your hair in honey dew?
And long for all of them to fall in love with you
But they never do
No they never do
I'm gonna tell you something good about yourself
I'll say it now and I'll never say it about no one else
I'm gonna tell you something good about yourself
I'll say it now and I'll never say it about no one else
About no one else
