its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Why should I watch Matt Damon cry without her at my side?
I pined as days went by, but now it’s fine
‘Cause in the end, we’re such close friends, sugar-n-spice, and since then
There’s more time for me, I’ve started a diary and washed my car again
CHORUS
And I can watch Good Will Hunting by myself (it’s cool, it’s fine)
I can shop for clothes without her help (it’s cool, it’s fine)
I can hang out with my friends, do the good times ever end?
Yeah I can watch Good Will Hunting by myself
It’s okay that you haven’t called me in a week or two
I’m sure it’s hard for you, it’s been hard for me too
But as long as wood still floats, I can sow my wild oats and paint the town red
The party’s far from dead, I’m happy in my empty bed
REPEAT CHORUS
SOLO
Girl, I remember when we was sittin’ on your couch
Watchin’ Good Will Hunting, holdin’ hands and drinkin’ milkshakes
But milkshakes melt, people change, and you dumped me on my birthday
Right after I bought you that really expensive thing from the Body Shop
Called Jojoba Loofah Milktowel or something like that
That I sold 147 Cutco knives to afford, but whatever, hey, it’s cool
I’ve moved on you know, I’m happy now – well, happy in a crying sorta way
You know, curled up naked in the shower biting your knees wishing you were dead kinda happy
But I realized you were right, we were never meant to be
And you know what? Thank God
‘Cause you’re the most vapid, whiny blah I’ve ever met
Always making fun of my clothes, telling me how hot other guys are, asking me to pay you gas money?!
Buy your own gas you bug-eyed mooch – it’s your car and it costs more than my house
Oh and now you’re going around trying to sleep with my friends
Hey good, that really makes you an empowered individual – no wait, did I say empowered individual? I meant two-cent gutter slut
Listen you tanning-bed-baked, broke-ass, goat-faced, oompa-loompa monkey problem
I am proud to shop at Target, I’ll wear warm-up pants any day of the week
Yes, your ass did look fat in those jeans, your mom’s a M.I.L.F.
And I plan to get on your little sister just as soon as I give her a call back, oh and you know what else?
You can watch Good Will Hunting by yourself (you bitch, please die)
You can waste your life without my help (you bitch, please die)
You can hang out with your friends, that is if you had any friends
You can watch Good Will Hunting by yourself ‘til your eyes fall out
You can watch Good Will Hunting by yourself – I hope your eyes fall out
Why don’t you go watch it by yourself? Go to hell!
I pined as days went by, but now it’s fine
‘Cause in the end, we’re such close friends, sugar-n-spice, and since then
There’s more time for me, I’ve started a diary and washed my car again

Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
I love this song, especially the rant...
I'm so glad somebody coined the phrase "oompa-loompa" which me and my friends made up in reference to all those dumbass girls who fakebake and then bleach their hair blonde.
I saw them at Cicero's, and I was in the front row. xD It was amazing.
