| He didn't steal the melody. It's a common formula to use when constructing melodies. Like a twelve bar blues is. Anyway, all music is stolen from somewhere | |

| My friend just got into the White Stripes after buying Elephant. This is his favorite song. I don't think it's the best on the album at all, but it is an undeniably great song. | |

| this one seems to be about having a crush on some one and not thinking your good enoughf for that one who you love and you simply can't let them know how you feel because your affraid. It's loving someone,and they don't know but you want to say something,it's like my project vulcan. | |

| This song is one of the best on elephant. From what I interpreted, it's about the guy thinking he's in charge first, saying that she's 'the kind of girl he could hypnotize' and then the tables turn and he tries tp pluck up the courage to 'hold her little hand'. | |

| Guys, this song is meant to be ironic. Mostly about how guys can be manipulative and deceiving. Incase if anyone didn't get that. Oh, and who cares about Tom Jones. | |

| i think this song is cute, and once more, it is written from a teenage point of view. i don't know if she loves him back, but he really does love her. it's a great song to dance to, i know that's wierd, but i always start moving when i play it. | |

| "you're the kind of girl a guy like me could hypnotize"- Not that he thinks he's in charge, he feels his personality is a perfect match to charm the girl. He feels a connection, but definitly is shy, and couldn't reveal himself completely without a "way out", agreed. "Just think of all those guys who would tell you lies"- He's honest, but knows his honesty can get him in trouble, so he restrains himself. He speaks of real commitment at the end, wholly justifying himself as a mature man with no hidden agenda. Just insecure and afraid. The nervous speed and singing in this song match its meaning perfectly. | |
