Lyric discussion by Ausgezeichnet 

Cover art for I've Had Her lyrics by Phil Ochs

This is the love song of a man who has been dumped. He is so distraught that he has decided to kill himself. Before doing so, however, he realizes that he will be leaving his lover for other men so he follows each of his expressions of his love with a disclaimer, an attempt to say that no matter how much see seems the perfect lover, she's really nothing and not worth pursuing.
