Dude, this song is just about people who talk shit. More specifically in the storyline of the story, it's a girl he wanted but he ended up turning her down. [Couldn't have me, I didn't want you] And she ended up talking shit about him to everyone, including Lisa [the girl I can't afford to lose].

It's a very high-school song. I love it. (:

And it's not about him dating her best friend. The line "tell me what your best friend knows that I don't know" is about rumors because the first person someone gossips to is usually their best friend. So he's basically being sort-of sarcastic saying, "So, what's the latest dirt on me, girls? I'm dying to know."

It makes more sense that way if you think about it. I love this song, though, because I get my name put in people's mouths all the time for no reason other than I'm not a whore, so they make shit up saying I am. So I think it's fantastic to have something this relatable.

Poor Alex. Sick of rumors. ): The Home Alone reference is boss, btw.
