KSOTD: She’s got Issues – Offspring

This is not autobiographical. Just wanted to say that before the gals I’ve seen start bashing me up. Another awesome in-ur-face song from Offspring from the Americana album. This is one song where the lyrics say more than the music. J and I’ve actually met gals and guys who’re so totally emotional that they end up being a strain on their partners. Love the inherent confusion in the song, specially the part where he can’t decide if he can stay over late. Oh ya.. and the ever repulsing ex talk. This is one song that you should make a person listen to before makin them ur guy/gal!

Mood: When ur partner is a emotional shipwreck and is dragging u along..

She’s got Issues

Offspring

I’m seeing this girl and she just might be out of her mind
Well she’s got baggage and it’s all the emotional kind
She talks about closure and that validation bit
I don’t mean to be insensitive, but I really hate that shit

Oh man she’s got issues
And I’m gonna pay
She thinks she’s the victim
Yeah

Now I know she’ll feel abandoned
If I don’t stay over late
And I know she’s afraid to commit
But it’s only our second date

Oh man she’s got issues
And I’m gonna pay
She thinks she’s the victim
But she takes it all out on me

I don’t know why you’re messed up
I don’t know why your whole life is a chore
Just do me a favor
And check your baggage at the door

Now she talks about her ex nonstop, but I don’t mind
But when she calls out his name in bed
That’s where I draw the line
You told me a hundred times how your father left and he’s gone
But I wish you wouldn’t call me daddy
When we’re gettin’ it on

Oh man she’s got issues
And I’m gonna pay
She’s playing the victim
And taking it all out on me
My god she’s got issues
And I’m gonna pay

If you think I’m controlling
Then why do you follow me around
If you’re not co-dependent
Then why do you let others drag you down

I don’t know why you’re messed up
I don’t know why your whole life is a chore
Just do me a favor
And check your baggage at the door
