And girl should feel real bad for being mean to Dave Mustaine omg >:O
FOA! you read my mind! That's EXACTLY how I feel 'bout it :evilking:

..there are girls who can be mean...without simpathy or any care for anyone but themselves. I think the song just goes to those girls who USE guys...the sincere and honest guys like myself.
