Lyric discussion by mad about the boy 

Cover art for About Her lyrics by Malcolm Mclaren

I believe the song is about a woman with a reputation of lying and hurting others.

The singer became involved with her without a warning from others, or perhaps he was warned, but is still blaming others for his' (or her's) mistakes. I get the sense that he's still hurting over her loss, knowing she'll never be back - she's moved onto the next.

My favorite line: "Well no one told me about her/How many people cried"

Such a sad song, really.
