Song lyrics
This bed is on fire with passionate love
The neighbors complain about the noises above
But she only comes when she's on top

My therapist said not to see you no more
She said you're like a disease without any cure
She said I'm so obsessed that I've become a bore, oh no

Ah, you think you're so pretty (eeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeee)

Caught your hand inside the till
Slammed your fingers in the door
Bored with kitchen knives and skewers
Dressed me up in womens clothes
Messed around with gender roles
Dye my eyes and call me pretty

Moved out of the house so you moved next door
I locked you out, you cut a hole in the wall
I found you sleeping next to me, I thought I was alone
You're driving me crazy, When are you coming home?
(eeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeee)

I am so in love with this song. Every time I hear it I want to cry. ...Call me sappy and sentimental, but when he goes through the "eeeeee" sounds when he's singing "you think you're so pretty---" I just want to weep.

Heh.. interesting interpretation.

I think it's more about the strange but addictive sex he experiences with this girl, and what an effect she has on him and why he needs her, even though she's so bad for him, yeah... seems familiar, apart from the strange sex.

basically, its about a guy who when with his love, couldn't stand it, BUT, now that shes gone, he NEEDS her back SOON, check last verse

There's way more sick songs... eg Bloodhound Gang - A Lap Dance Is So Much Better When The Stripper Is Crying. But not my point.

Yeah I agree with that interpretation, I've had some similar experiences... Great song, addictive.

I guess it's about a girl who's bad for this guy, but she won't leave him alone, but he likes it...

lmao, I lost the plot there
