| the lyrics posted were before revisions and before the song was put on the album. i think these are more accurate: When I like you it's total revenge. I want to, but I can pretend that I don't need to be your side again. Wrap me up in a plastic case. Pat me down with your warm embrace. I wanna know where you've laid your face at night for all these years. You're a problem that I can't abide. I could sleep well, if only I tried But I stay up and dream of a bride to be. Oh me! Oh my! Give it up! I can't wait no more. I am stuck on your bedroom floor With the thought that I may not be As great as those who came before. There's a man assigned to me And he checks on my stability. We discuss you every week. Then I rinse and rinse, repeat. But maybe, I can show you, baby! Maybe, I can relax for good, whoa, baby! I can show you... maybe... baby. There's a man assigned to me And he checks on my stability. We discuss you every week. Then I rinse and rinse, repeat. And he charges by the tear, 'till I weep no more, strictly out of fear That I can't afford your love. And the moon just burns above. Okay... | |

| i think the "girl" is a metaphor for drug addiction, and that he feels like his addiction is controlling/using him. he feels helpless, and at the same time, he sees light at the end of the tunnel (i can show you, baby). finally, the man assigned to him is referencing a rehab program. its a long shot, but i'd hate to believe that all of max's songs are just generic shallw love songs, therefore, i believe in super-deep meanings! | |

| This is a very good song. In reply to matt: Max (singer of Say Anything) revises his songs a lot, so these may be a different version than the song you have. | |

| I can't believe there's only 4 posts onthis song. I actually just found this song thru Pandora but it's a real great song. I love how he sings. I may have to check into more Say Anything songs. I think this song is about a girl whom he was really in love with for a long time. He had ot let her go, but didn't want to... and is havin problems completely letting go. yeah.. good song though. | |

| I think he's been with the girl before, and that they broke up for a while but now they're back together and he's paranoid that he's not good enough for her and that she's going to leave him because he doesn't live up to her past (whoa, run on sentence). Hence, when he likes her, it's total revenge...it's revenge because he's with her now, and not the guy that maybe broke them up? Or guys that were with her in the interim? Or it's just revenge against her because she broke up with him but now he's got her back? So he's paranoid about the time they were apart, and wants to know all about it (where you lay your face at night for all these years). Also, he's paranoid about his abilities as a lover and if he'll live up to those in the past. He wants to marry her but is nervous to ask her and it's a problem that he deals with every day. So all this paranoia makes him need a psychiatrist and all he talks about is her, week after week. He's afraid that if he doesn't get this under control, he won't be able to afford her love. | |

| I've looked around and i think the line is rinse and rinse repeat and it really sounds like that. i can understand it too, rinsing would be him crying to "rinse" the girl out of his life with tears. Some great lyrics here. Or maybe he just likes shampoo. | |

| matt123 rinse and rinse repeat is a literal statement. He is saying that he'll have to goto the shrink over and over again. | |

| i think the song is about a girl getting married to someone else (hence the bride to be part) and it just kills him that the girl he wants or maybe just thinks he wants is getting married. it drives him kind of crazy, so crazy that he needs a psychiatrist and mental help. i love say anything. max is amazing. | |

| It's about a boy who is desperately and almost obsessively in love with a girl, but he's realized that his obsession is "wrong" in a sense. I also think that they had dated at one point in time, but she ended it and now all he can do is obsess over her and cry. I agree that the "rinse and rinse repeat" means that he cries after he talks about it and then he talks some more. He desperately tries to get her out of his head, but all he can do is imagine the future they could have had together, where they could have gone, the dream/life that is now almost completely gone. He can't let either the dream or her go... He's an incredible lyricist -- I | |

| A girl broke his heart, so much so that he needs therapy, until he can get over her, except he forces himself to stop crying over her cuz he can't afford the therapy sessions anymore. Max is a funny guy. | |

| it seems simple to me--a boy loves a girl, she's really "put him through the wringer," and he's dealing with some psychological issues, but he wants to prove to the girl that he can love her. | |
