to me this song is about missy being with this guy that shes not really compatible with, they fight alot and disagree, but she always looses it and gets angry where he is the type of guy that sits back and stays cool. he never chases her but she still comes back to him. The repetitition of the chorous and the title "this is how it goes" indicates that this scenario is one that occurs frequently, and is told like a story.
