Lyric discussion by marwash07 

i think this song is about interracial dating. Jason is into women of different ethnicicties in general.

he is saying,

I could be the one to turn you out We could be the talk across the town Dont judge me bu the color, Confuse for another you might regret what you let slip away.....

talk of the town (refering to people staring cus of the difference in race)

dont judge me by the color (just becasue im a nerdy white guy, doesnt mean i cant turn you out)

I agree. I first came to know about Jason Mraz through a friend of mine who fell for a girl who he worked with and was totally out of his leage. They were this song and he wasn't even shy about saying so, posted this song on his myspace and even went to her apartment and sang it to her LOL. Hes a skinny white boy from a conservative background and she was a curvy popular black girl who on a good day might remember his name, but he wouldn't have any of it. He totally...

Similar to my story. Only she was the one who made the connection, and pointed it out. It was cool though since music was sort of how we got together... and our mutual love of Jason let me dismiss the implication that I was a nerdy loser who happened to be a great guy...

An error occured.
