Good song.!!!.very nice!.but.So they'd think that I was sleeping alone om whats happening to me right now! those guys are very numb! huhu!they just love us because they need us!then after what they got they just leave us! girl power! Cause I'm a nice guy and my GF left me for the school womaniser.she had the fortitude to say I was too good to be true. Wow! I love this song.but its getting on my nerves cause its portraying all guys as no good. I think the video vindicates the song from being overly biased towards guys because in the video both man and woman play a part in hurting each other. You need to stop listening to your friends
