I like this song. And it actually has sort of interesting lyrics. Well, not that interesting, but the music video is very interesting. So if you haven't seen it, in the music video, there's this guy who owns a club in the back on his... i think its a deli. In any case, some people come in, they party, gamble, and it seems to sort of make sense cause the girl looks sorta shy with her friends and stuff but then at the end it turns out the girls were undercover cops and they bust all the guys for something, drugs, illegal gambling, or something. In any case, i think this is Cobra's ironic take on their own song or something, because it doesn't fit the straightforward lyrics. No, the only lyric in the song that gives me some trouble is "she got a way with the guys in the place treat 'em like they don't stand a chance. At first this would suggest to me that the girl has confidence but this clearly isn't the case because she's "so shy" unless of course they're undercover cops but still that dosen't add up. No, i think what they mean there is that she is the type that hangs with her friends and doesn't give guys a chance to date her, and "treat them like they don't stand a chance" because she won't dance with them, or kiss them, or do anything with them because she's conservative and such, not because she's overconfident.
In any case the line about the 5 best friends seems to me just to be their way of discribing what type of girl the girl in the song is, she's the kind that stands in the corner, with her friends, talking, rather than dancing or talking to guys.
I just think its funny that their song seems very pro badboy/pimpster, after all that's who's singing it and what it's about, but their music video seems anti that type to me because they get busted.
