This song is about a young woman dealing with the betrayal of a lover. She had sex with a boy because she cared about him and trusted him, only to discover he had bragged about his conquest to his friends and repeated things she had told him in confidence. She is struggling to believe what he has do...
[Verse 1]
Maybe I like you, maybe I do
Ooh, ooh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Maybe I felt something real for just a moment
Was I wrong to trust anyone? Tell me, tell me
[Chorus]
Did you tell them everything I said?
Did you tell them everything?
Did you tell them everything I said?
Did you tell them everything I said?
[Post-Chorus]
Why don't you tell them?
[Verse 2]
Did you get a good laugh? Tell me, was it good?
Was it good? Was it good for you?
Did you win that race? Did you score that point?
Are you so fucking cool, fucking cool now?
Did ya, did ya, did ya, did ya?
Did ya, did ya, did ya, did ya?
Did ya, did ya, did ya?
Go tell your fucking friends
[Chorus]
What I saw and how I felt
How punk fucking rock my pussy smelled
Why don't you tell them?
I don't care, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
Honey, baby, this I know
[Outro]
Maybe I like you, maybe I do
Oh, oh, oh-oh
