She’s got the kind of look that defies gravity
She’s the greatest cook
And she’s fat free
She’s been to private school
And she speaks perfect French
She’s got the perfect friends
Oh isn’t she cool?
She practices Tai Chi
She'd never lose her nerve
She's more than you deserve
She's just far better than me
Hey, hey
So don’t bother
I won’t die of deception
I promise you won’t ever see me cry
Don’t feel sorry
And don't bother
I’ll be fine
But she’s waiting
The ring you gave to her will lose its shine
So don’t bother, be unkind
I’m sure she doesn’t know
How to touch you like I would
I beat her at that one good
Don’t you think so?
She's almost six feet tall
She must think I'm a flea
I’m really a cat, you see
And it's not my last life at all
Hey, hey
So don't bother
I won't die of deception
I promise you won't ever see me cry
Don't feel sorry
Don't bother
I’ll be fine
But she's waiting
The ring you gave to her will lose its shine
So don’t bother, be unkind
[Whispering]
For you, I'd give up all I own
And move to a communist country
If you came with me, of course
And I'd file my nails so they don't hurt you
And lose those pounds, and learn about football
If it made you stay, but you won't, but you won't
So don't bother,
I'll be fine, I'll be fine, I'll be fine, I'll be fine
I promise you won't ever see me cry
And after all I'm glad that I'm not your type
I promise you won't ever see me cry
Don't bother,
I'll be fine, I'll be fine, I'll be fine, I'll be fine
I promise you won’t ever see me cry
Don't bother,
I'll be fine, I'll be fine, I'll be fine, I'll be fine
I promise you won't ever see me cry
And after all I'm glad that I'm not your type, not your type, not your type, not your type
I promise you won't ever see me cry
She’s the greatest cook
And she’s fat free
She’s been to private school
And she speaks perfect French
She’s got the perfect friends
Oh isn’t she cool?
She practices Tai Chi
She'd never lose her nerve
She's more than you deserve
She's just far better than me
Hey, hey
So don’t bother
I won’t die of deception
I promise you won’t ever see me cry
Don’t feel sorry
And don't bother
I’ll be fine
But she’s waiting
The ring you gave to her will lose its shine
So don’t bother, be unkind
I’m sure she doesn’t know
How to touch you like I would
I beat her at that one good
Don’t you think so?
She's almost six feet tall
She must think I'm a flea
I’m really a cat, you see
And it's not my last life at all
Hey, hey
So don't bother
I won't die of deception
I promise you won't ever see me cry
Don't feel sorry
Don't bother
I’ll be fine
But she's waiting
The ring you gave to her will lose its shine
So don’t bother, be unkind
[Whispering]
For you, I'd give up all I own

And I'd file my nails so they don't hurt you
And lose those pounds, and learn about football
If it made you stay, but you won't, but you won't
So don't bother,
I'll be fine, I'll be fine, I'll be fine, I'll be fine
I promise you won't ever see me cry
And after all I'm glad that I'm not your type
I promise you won't ever see me cry
Don't bother,
I'll be fine, I'll be fine, I'll be fine, I'll be fine
I promise you won’t ever see me cry
Don't bother,
I'll be fine, I'll be fine, I'll be fine, I'll be fine
I promise you won't ever see me cry
And after all I'm glad that I'm not your type, not your type, not your type, not your type
I promise you won't ever see me cry

"She's far better than me" could refer to a new girl her boyfriend found, or it could also be a metaphor that the ex is never satisfied with her just as she is. She would "give up all she owns," "move to a communist country," and is willing to "lose the pounds," "talk about football", and "file her nails", essentially changing everything about herself - looks, nature, personality.
However she realizes he "won't stay" anyway. She realizes she's better off without him and tears away from the relationship as she's "not his type," resolute in not letting him see her cry.
Maybe I'm just projecting (haha), but many in relationships aren't happy with someone perfectly imperfect in front of them, and unwilling to accept other's flaws. The song is to "don't bother" with people who will always have that grass-is-greener-on-the-other-side syndrome. However, as the song says, the "ring will lose its shine," meaning that like something new and shiny at first, whatever you thought you wanted gets old and he/she will run into the same problem again.
just the feeling i get.
also the girl seems to be almost an opposite of shakira--tall, speaks french, can't touch him as well, etc. very interesting.
'And lose those pounds, and learn about football' (I heard this part like 'lose those pounds an live by a fruit bowl' :P
