Hey girl you know you drive me crazy
One look puts the rhythm in my hand
Still I'll never understand why you hang around
I see what's going down.

Cover up with make up in the mirror
Tell yourself it's never gonna happen again
You cry alone and then he swears he loves you.

Do you feel like a man
When you push her around?
Do you feel better now, as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's got to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found.

A pebble in the water makes a ripple effect
Every action in this world will bear a consequence
If you wait around forever you will surely drown
I see what's going down.

I see the way you go and say you're right again,
Say you're right again,
Heed my lecture.

Do you feel like a man
When you push her around?
Do you feel better now, as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's got to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found.

Face down in the dirt
She said "This doesn't hurt!"
She said "I finally had enough!"

Face down in the dirt
She said "This doesn't hurt!"
She said "I finally had enough!"

One day she will tell you that she has had enough
It's coming round again

Do you feel like a man
When you push her around?
Do you feel better now, as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's got to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found.

Do you feel like a man
When you push her around?
Do you feel better now, as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's got to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found.

Face down in the dirt
She said "This doesn't hurt!"
She said "I finally had enough!"

    General Comment:I love the lines
    "Well, I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
    As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found"
    It could have some many meanings;
    1. Judgment Day is coming. She will go to heaven, finding her new life, but he will go to a less love place.
    2. The world he had created with his lies, the world of fear and deceit, will fall down and she will leave, finding a new life with someone who truly loves her.

    Face down in the dirt
    She says, "This doesn't hurt"
    She says, "I finally had enough"
    I love those too, but they speak for themselves. "I'm too strong to deal with this anymore."

    General Comment:I used to really love this song. I still do. I hadn't listened to in such a long time until today it came on the radio when I was in the car with my mom. This time around it effected me alot more seeing as I'm in an abusive relationship. It brought tears to my eyes.

    General Comment:Even when I was 6 I could tell what this song was about. If you don't know, it's a guy who beats his girlfriend and another guy encourages her to leave him.

    General Comment:Pretty obvious meaning; girl is in an abusive relationship, the writer of the song doesn't understand why she is sticking around.
