| When kids say "bad," They mean "good." And to shake one's booty means to wiggle one's butt. Permit me to demonstrate... That being said, this song in others words could be "Some people are selfish jerks, but not you and me." Doesn't quite have the same ring to it as the way Tom sings it, though. | |

| This song is so simple it is so blunt that you can't help but smile when he sings it.... it's about graditude and devotion to his significant other ad how no matter what she saves him...... I have yet to hear a simpler song done so well.... | |

| Sounds like the song is about Tom's sister, who married a yuppie for material reasons, swinged with a singer while with him, whom she found more interesting - then divorced her husband. Cute little story, though songs about how manipulative women can be get me down... | |

| I have a special place in my heart for this song. There is so much you can get out of it just depending on your mood. To me it is about having someone there to help you ignore the superficialities in life. We all nead companions, who can relate, its comfort, it is savior. | |
