I bet you fall in bed too easily
With the beautiful girls who are shyly brave
And you sell yourself as a man to save
But all the money in the world is not enough

I bet you've long since passed understanding
What it takes to be satisfied
You're like a vine that keeps climbing higher
But all the money in the world is not enough
And all the bridges blown away keep floating up

Its cold
And rough
And I kept standing 6'1"
Instead of 5'2"
And I loved my life
And I hated you

Its cold, out there
And rough
And I kept standing 6'1"
Instead of 5'2"
And I loved my life
And I hated you

    Phair said that the songs were about Exile on Mainstreet. (She also said that she used Exile on Mainstreet as a way to align her songs.) This song does "match" up to "Rocks Off". "Rocks Off" is about a guy who "only gets his rocks off when he is sleeping". Compare that with Phair's statement, "I bet you fall in bad too easily with..." and "I bet you've long past understanding what it takes to be satisfied."
