Written out of the perspective of an answering machine that's very protective towards its owner (and maybe there are some other feelings there as well)!
lyrics
you have three new messages; the first one's from him
he says it's really you he loves, he'll never forget that again
those other girls they don't mean nothing to him
that's a double negative by the way, i just thought i'd clue you in
he goes on to apologize for his silly little mistakes
he knows you two could work it out if you'd meet him face to face
i don't think you should go, but hey, what the hell do I know...
i'm just meee - your little answering machine
but i'm tired of all the bullshit this guy's dragging you into
and i know it's not my place to say
but i don't think he cares about you anyway
you have two new messages - ugh, this one's from him tooÉ
he's got some more excuses, and then he tells you what to do
you know i never really liked him - you two just don't fit
because you're an innocent angel, and he's just a dick
that's just my opinion, but, you know.
i may just be your little answering machine
but i'm tired of all the bullshit this guy's dragging you into
and i know it's not my place to say
but i don't think he cares about you anyway
okay, so you went to see him, that's cool i guess
maybe you two could work it out, maybe that's for the best
i just want you to be happy, i hope you know that's true
cause there's no way i could be happy without you!
...being happy too.
it's just meee - your little answering machine
but i'm tired of all the bullshit this guy's dragging you into
and i know it's not my place to saaay
but you have one last message, this one's from me!
you'll never learn to love again, if you don't set yourself free!
I just thought i'd point that out, if you need me just give me a shout
or a call
