Meaning
Band Quotes
- Jack White: "I wished I didn't put that song on there. We recorded it too fast, and it didn't mean anything after that point where we were done recording it. Some of those, they start off as songs on the piano and they mean something and they feel really good, then you try to put them into the orchestration of the band playing it live and electric."
- Meg White: "I remember rehearsing it, and it was the one that we were really excited about and thought would sound the best, and once it was down on tape, it was like, This doesn't actually sound that good."
Trivia
Lyrics
I can't wait till you try to come back, girl, when things they don't work out for you. Who do you think you're messing with, girl? What do you think you're trying to do? Do you really think I wanna be left out, girl? Who do you think you're trying to fool? First you said I was blind, and it's gonna be different this time. I thought you made up your mind. So many times I've gotten used to this old idea of being all alone. Tell me how I'm supposed to get through with this. I wish this house felt like a home. Who do you think you're messing with, girl? What do you think you're trying to do? Do you really think I wanna be left out, girl? Who do you think you're trying to fool? First you said I was blind; you certainly took your time. I thought you made up your mind.
