I love this song, I find it interesting that it can be seen as being told from so many perspectives - from the perspective of the other woman telling the man to break up with his girlfriend or from the perspective of the girlfriend who knows her boyfriend is cheating on her (as someone here mentioned). Another one I sometimes see it as, is from the perspective of the boyfriend talking to himself, trying to gear himself up to break-up with his girlfriend (almost like a boxer talking to himself in the mirror before a fight).
