   Basically the song is from the point of view of a girl, who's in love with a boy. The boy doesn't return her feeling but he sleeps with her all the time. So the girls tries to make him jealous by dating another guy who she has no feelings for but who is a 'less cute' version of the guy she really loves...
   
   Never thought that I could feel
   such a slap in the face
   [He rejected her]
   Since my semester in New York
   where I drank it away
   [probably where she met him]
   
   Social strategies are taught
   to bohemian crowds
   [I honestly have no Idea what that's supposed to mean...]
   And my love was like a food stamp
   handing it out, oh
   [he doesn't care for her or her feelings at all]
   
   Though I fell in love with you,
   all fey and grizzled and mature
   You left me naked, pining,
   whining on you bathroom floor
   [They had sex but he pretty much dumped her then]
   
   If it makes you jealous tell us
   just which boy we should adore
   And we talk about myself
   so I don't mind that he's a bore
   [So she dates this other guy; she finds him boring but hopes that seing then togethr will make the boy she loves jealous]
   
   He's like a less cute version of you
   But he'll have to do
   He's like a Wal-Mart version of you
   But he'll have to do
   He'll have to do
   [Self-explanatory?]
   
   Mountain man, brag about your band to me
   You got me hot with all those snide
   remarks about my poetry
   
   But he gobbles up every single line about stars
   And how they scar my slightly chubby arms
   like brightly light cigars
   [Appearantly the less cute guy she dates is going on her nerves, but she's to proud to admit he's not what she wants.]
   
   So now, he's next to me
   [He's with her]
   And I can feel you in my heart
   [But the other boy's who she really wants]
   You're everything
   You're everything he'll never be
   It's misery, and more specifically
   I miss that day you spit on me
   [And she would bare with every kind of humiliation to be with him?]
   
   He's like a less cute version of you
   But he'll have to do
   He's like a Wal-Mart version of you
   But he'll have to do
   He'll have to do
   He's like a less cute version of you
   But he'll have to do
   He's like a Wal-Mart version of you
   But he'll have to do
   He'll have to do
   
   He has no inkling of your status or mind
   [He's not even half as good as the original/ the boy she really loves]
   He's just the glow that I splatter to bind
   [Metaphorically, he's the burner to cauterizate her open would]
   You and I like Siamese twins
   So let the sick sad game begin
   [He's still connected to her, in some way and inseparably, so she'll ]
   
   Now, you're here again
   [She still has sex with the boy she wants]
   And he will wonder where I've been
   [And cheats on her boyfriend]
   I'm giving in
   But in my own opinion
   That's how to be
   [But that's okay with her.]
   Though I can hear him singing
   "all this envy's killing me"
   [Although she's breaking the less cute guy's heart.]
