It's Not Fair Lyrics
oh he treats me with respect he says he loves me all the time
he calls me fifteen times a day he likes to make sure that I'm fine
you know I've never met a man whose made me feel quite so secure
hes not like all them other boys they're all so dumb and immature
there's just one thing that's getting in the way
when we go up to bed you're just not good it's such a shame
I look into your eyes I want to get to know you
and then you make this noise and its apparent it's all over
it's not fair and I think your really mean
I think your really mean
yes I think your really mean
oh your supposed to care but you never make me scream
you never make me scream
oh it's not fair and it's really not ok
it's really not ok
it's really not ok
oh your supposed to care but all you do is take
all you do is take
well I lie here in the wet patch in the middle of the bed
I'm feeling pretty hard done by, I spent ages giving head
then I remember all the nice things that you've ever said to me
maybe I'm just overreacting, maybe you're the one for me
there's just one thing that's getting in the way
when we go up to bed you're just not good it's such a shame
I look into your eyes I want to get to know you
and then you make this noise and its apparent it's all over
it's not fair and I think your really mean
I think your really mean
yes I think your really mean
oh your supposed to care but you never make me scream
you never make me scream
oh it's not fair and it's really not ok
it's really not ok
it's really not ok
oh your supposed to care but all you do is take
all you do is take
he calls me fifteen times a day he likes to make sure that I'm fine
you know I've never met a man whose made me feel quite so secure
hes not like all them other boys they're all so dumb and immature
when we go up to bed you're just not good it's such a shame
I look into your eyes I want to get to know you
and then you make this noise and its apparent it's all over

I'm not so sure that she's even saying that he's all that outside the bedroom either. Think about it - someone who calls '15 times a day' is not only insecure, they're also a bit controlling. What happens if you fail to answer one of those many calls?
Madcap, I think you're totally off the mark - what the song is showing is that despite this guy's apparent surface qualities, in some ways it's just a front. A guy who doesn't take the time to at least try to satisfy his woman the way she's tried to satisfy him, is either inexperienced (doesn't know he should) or extremely selfish (doesn't feel like he needs to). And there isn't anything in the song to indicate that his lack stems from inexperience.
The disappointment in the song is much less about physical prowess in the bedroom than about the motivation to want your partner to have as good a time as you're having - and what she's complaining about is that lack of motivation. He doesn't even seem to be noticing that she's not having a good time, much less doing much in the way of trying to 'make her scream' (with orgasm, is what she means). The follow-on being that if he doesn't care how she's feeling in the bedroom...can he really also be caring how she's feeling anywhere outside it? I think she's essentially saying that she is discovering that his caring demeanor outside the bedroom is likely only there to get her into the bedroom; and once there, his real [selfish] nature is showing itself. Ergo, he is nice...but actually, he is mean.
Who cares what she needs, or her stupid song? He's got what he needs and she should sort herself out afterwards. Cum too quickly? Too quickly for who?!??!

I just wanted to say... you're an asshole.

Spot on. I love when you read a thread and everybody has got the song totally wrong but one person sums it up perfectly. That person is you.

The song isn't about him finishing too quickly. The song is about how he is an inconsiderate lover and this makes her doubt he really is the nice guy she thinks he is.

in a nut shell hes really nice but he cums too quickly and she doesnt get anything out of it
I don't know, girl I think there might be more to it. It seems as if he just doesn't have the time to please her. As if he just wants to get it over with. Poor Lily hahaha i know exactly what that's like. Guys are such twats.
its totally about a guy finishing too quickly haha i love it
maybe...... hes just rubbish in bed, and he comes to quickly, but he never makes an effort to please her 'i think you're really mean'
Personally I think this song is about a woman who has a really great man - kind, caring, mature, smart &c. However he isn't very good in bed and the woman blows this out of proportion calling him mean when in fact she's already called him nice and trying to justify her dislike of him with rediculous excuses ('You never make me scream' - surely this is a good thing?) when in fact the woman is just being stuck up about the whole sex thing.
Essentially the song it taking the mick out of all those women who see sex as the most important thing in a relationship.
Yah, I agree completely.
Yah, I agree completely.
its about how much he sux in BED!!!!
Im usually all, songs can mean alot to different people, kinda thing.
But simply put, the guy just didnt have it in the bedroom for Lily.
So good though.
"Lying in the wet patch..." Verse is amazing! hahaha!
Catchy track.
Ah to me it just sounds like he doesn't know how to fuck (at least not how she likes it). End of story.
