Man this song is great. Sad that there aren't more comments, I'm hoping that it's because the lyrics are pretty straight forward, and people aren't looking them up. I needed to know what he said about the slippers exactly because I couldn't quite make it out, but knew it was an awesome line.
The reference to Cinderella is pretty amazing if you think of it. People tend to look at that fairy tale and what it means to girls, but I think the fairy tale also teaches boys some pretty crazy stuff about relationships.
I think that you both are correct, and that the song is about him falling for a girl who is a bit of a tramp, but I think that what makes this song unique is the reason for the pain in falling for that girl. He found the girl that the slipper fit on perfectly, his Cinderella, but she didn't want him necessarily. She continued to look for the sugar after her prince charming had come. His love was a season, a temporary deal, to the girl, but to him it was forever. He realizes that her season as a pretty girl will eventually end though, and that no one else will be waiting on her anymore. He's not going to be and that's why he asks "who do you think gonna be laughing this time". It's not going to be her, who smiles when she lies, but him who will refuse to take her back.
