Yeah I agree that the perspective changes usually make the song worse, and thats why I like this version. (I assume this was originally written from a girl's perspective).
Similarly, the band Nickel Creek did "Tomorrow is a Long Time" from the perspective of a girl and it just doesn't sound right.
Changing roles changes the story... you can't just say Romeo is the woman because a woman wants to play the part.
