Story Behind The Song
A few girls in my life have drove me so crazy -- mostly based on their desire to date other guys and not me -- that I continue to hang on for hope, even when it's bad for my mental health. But everyone does that sometimes, right?

A boy can't get a girl off his mind -- although it doesn't help that she strings him right along -- and he tries everything to shake her, just like playing a song for yourself that gets stuck in your head

Lyrics
Girl, I get around
But not like you do, so frequently
Out driving through town
His car's been at your house all evening
Don't ask how I know
And don't see my headlights or hear me singing
Don't tell him I'm the reason
Your cell phone's spent all night ringing
I'm sure I'll hear your woe
When you call tomorrow
CHORUS
You haunt me, control me
Follow me but can't fall for me
Oh boy, here we go
You stayed with him and then he broke your poor heart
Third time in a row
The record skips but the song never starts
I can't say one thing
That will make this better, where's the end of it?
It's OK being your friend
But where are my best friend benefits?
You like it that I linger
Around your finger
CHORUS
What are you giving? And what are you getting?
And why don't you get it from me?
Why don't you give it to me
Stare at my ceiling
My wound's still healing
And wonder if you
Have yet felt your feelings
CHORUS
What are you giving? And what are you getting?
And why don't you get it from me?
Why don't you give it to me
