	awesome music video. i agree with the y chromosome theory, and what night never sleeps said about the line "i wish i could buy back the woman you stole". karen o is so cool. she's so sexy. ahahah.

	Omg, I love this song, actually I love the whole cd. And Karen O is dead sexy; I would go gay for her.

No Picture Sawyer Rhythm Player	#6 by Sawyer Hildebrandt at Oct 17, 2007 at 2:45 AM EST
	i may be wrong but i always viewed this song that was possibly written by one of the other band members. unless it speeks of a lesbian relationship that karen o was in. but the lyric "i wish i could buy back the woman you stole" it seems like someone had a girlfriend leave them for someone else and they just wish they could get her back.

	karen o is hot

No Picture Chris Average	#8 by Chris Tucker at Oct 17, 2007 at 9:54 PM EST
	this is probably my favorite yeah yeah yeahs song. i think it talks about how a man left her and she says that he is the only one good enough for her and all the others were just there to pass time

No Picture jo_silverhawk Average	#9 by jo_silverhawk at Oct 18, 2007 at 8:09 AM EST
	maybe its about a friends ex-boyfriend

No Picture Chris Average	#10 by Chris Essery at Oct 18, 2007 at 12:44 PM EST
	'they' don't mess up all the lyrics, random people donate them. this probably is my favorite yeah yeah yeah's song. & i've always thought the title waas related to the y chromosome.

No Picture Your Mom Average	#11 by Your Mom at Oct 19, 2007 at 2:52 PM EST
	This song is so awesome. Unfortunatley, I heard it first on Launch, watching the music video. It's completely creepy!! There are all these demon kids running carrying dead dogs and stuff!! And a girl cuts off a boys hand and cuts open his stomach! Its so creepy. I'd also like to add that the short skirt thing that is worn is very hott. So watch the video and ignore the kids.. :):):)

No Picture sY Average	#12 by sYsTem oWnS rOx at Oct 19, 2007 at 4:40 PM EST
	I dunno. After seeing the video (which I see as absolutely amazing. Mostly. It gets a little silly here and there with "will you cut off my hand?", but the message is phenomenal), I see how the song could have the same meaning as well. How when one grows older, their innocence is robbed from them. "I'm a poor little baby, and I believed them all". That would be the naive child. "So while you're growing old under the gun..." Growing up and having your eyes opened to the evil of the world. Now the song, as opposed to the video, implies that this factor of "growing up" was induced by a specific person. With a Y chromosome. He stole her innocence and dumped her away afterwards, cold and bitter. "I wish I could buy back the woman you stole". Granted, this is just my interpretation. Amazing song, though. The music... it really does something to me. It really takes me another place. The guitar, the drums, her words... God, I love this band.

No Picture Kyle Wanna Be	#13 by Kyle Kom at Oct 20, 2007 at 4:03 AM EST
	i personally disagree about the lesbian interpretation, although i could be wrong. i take "i wish i could buy back the woman you stole" as her saying that this guy has scarred her permanently and she'll never be able to recapture who she was before the relationship. so, in my interpreation "the woman" is actually herself. does this make sense to anyone else? fantastic song. i love the "Y" chromosome theory too, i always just thought she was saying "why control?" ... like asking this guy why he always has to try and control her.

No Picture Allen Average	#14 by Allen Stone at Oct 21, 2007 at 3:14 AM EST
	and she talking to both the ex and friend ex as in "i wish i could buy back the woman you stole" adn the friend "i will leave them all" as in men
