why do so many of you think its about a hot brainless guy getting a girl? listen to the lyrics
''But if looks could kill
There's a man there who's more down as dead.''
It's pretty that he's singing about an unattractive guy pulling a hot girl and yes it's jealously but it's also hitting the singers pride/confidence hard.The song's kinda ambigious whether the singer is hot or not though it does appear he has self esteem issues ''I kid myself I look real smooth''.Anyway it can work both ways as the singers goodlooking he is bummed that less attractive guys can pull chicks,if he's normal looking or unattractive it still works as he's bummed that a guy who's even uglier than him still can get chicks.

@billythepub I don't think "gorillas" is necessarily meant to signify ugly. I always assumed it meant thuggish.
