No... not on me"

If they'd left this out, she'd just be ranting and acting like a crazy woman so they added the positive spin. So she's tearing up his stuff BUT she's a strong woman concerned about other women. Image.


It's interesting you feel that makes it a positive spin. I still think it makes her sound a bit crazy. I do know what you mean though, so don't take my statement as judgement.

In fact, I've actually told this song to people as though it was a story about "a guy I know of who" did everything in this song to a girl. People's reactions when they thought it was a guy doing this to a girl...wow!! SO different!

Let's just say they didn't feel what "he did" was justified just because she cheated on him! I've had MANY people say "could you blame her?! Who would want to be with a guy like that!!"

You might find this interesting...



People are interesting!
