Song lyrics
She gave you everything she had
But she was young and dumb
She'd just turned twenty-one
She didn't care to hang around
So when the shit came down 
Why she was nowhere to be found
This life can turn a good girl bad
She was the sweetest thing
That you had ever seen

You're such a delicate boy
In the hysterical realm
Of an emotional landslide
In physical terms

With your cherry lips and golden curls
You could make grown men gasp
When you go walking past them
In your hot pants and high heels
They could not believe 
That such a body was for real
It seemed like rainbows would appear
Whenever you came here the clouds would disappear
Because you look just like a girl
Your baby blues would flash
And suddenly a spell was cast

You're such a delicate boy
In the hysterical realm
Of an emotional landslide
In physical terms

You hold a candle in your heart
You shine a light on hidden parts
You make the whole world wanna dance
You bought yourself a second chance

Go baby go go
We're right behind you
Go baby go go
Yeah, we're looking at you
Go baby go go
Aw we're right behind you
Go baby go baby
Yeah, we're right behind you

Go baby go baby
Aw, we're right behind you
Go baby go baby
Yeah, we're looking at you
Go baby go baby
Aw, we're right behind you
Go baby go baby
Yeah, we're looking at you

You hold a candle in your heart (go baby go go)
You shine the light on hidden parts (go baby go go)
You make the whole world wanna dance (go baby go go)
You bought yourself a second chance (go baby go go)

Delicate boy (go baby go baby go)
In the hysterical realm (go baby go baby go)
Of an emotional landslide (go baby go baby go)
In physical terms (go baby go go)

Go
Yeah, we're looking at you
Go baby go go
Aw, we're right behind you

This song is frickin awesome people... And it tells a true story. I know for a fact. Right now I'm listening to Madonna... You should check her out, some of her stuff is really good.

I liked Garbage... before this song. It's so pop, and they were not pop, they disappointed me...

It's a great song... A little too poppy for my personal taste (I personally prefer Garbage's style from their Version 2.0 era) but definitely memorable.

The video is great as well - very Garbage
