I was flittering through Liz Phair songs, when I stumbled on this one and I genuinely thought it must have been a B-side or an out-take from the Exile era. THIS is the old Liz Phair. A relationship where two people are supposed to collaborate and organically arrive on the same page at the same time -- something that Liz Phair has warned she can't do and never promised from day one. Her veiled antagonism and rebellion quietly gleams out in the song when she pauses on "I get even." Very simply, it's about someone not listening to her words and being obtuse about her actions: "[...] refusing to see who I am."
