Orianthi - According to You

In honor of Valentines Day, I bring you:

A childish " post breakup track told from a woman's perspective.

"According to you I'm stupid, I'm useless
I can't do anything right
According to you I'm difficult, hard to please
Forever changing my mind
I'm a mess in a dress, can't show up on time
Even if it would save my life
According to you, according to you"

There's nothing like the end of a relationship to make you reflect on everything that was wrong with it.  Here we have a woman who tells us what an awful guy her now ex is.  I question why she put up with being peppered with insults.  If she cared enough about the ex to write a song about him, we can infer this was a relationship of some length.  Why did she stay so long?  What compelled the songwriter to stay with a jerk who mistreated and verbally abused her?

"But according to him I'm beautiful, incredible
He can't get me out of his head
According to him I'm funny, irresistible
Everything he ever wanted
Everything is opposite, I don't feel like stopping it
So baby tell me what I got to lose
He's into me for everything I'm not
According to you"

The compare and contrast portion.  Wherein we learn the new boyfriend acts like a normal human being in a relationship! 

"According to you I'm boring, I'm moody
And you can't take me any place
According to you I suck at telling jokes
'Cause I always give it away
I'm the girl with the worst attention span
You're the boy who puts up with that
According to you, according to you"

We get it.  He was insulting you and he found your quirks annoying.  Instead of writing a song about it, move on.

"I need to feel appreciated
Like I'm not hated, oh no
Why can't you see me through his eyes?
It's too bad, you're making me dizzy"

The ex can't see you through the new guy's eyes because he's your idiot exboyfriend.  It seems that you're still hung up on the ex since you're so set on telling him how great the new guy is because of how he treats you.

This is like a middle school lite version of "Since You've Been Gone."

(Honestly it was difficult to find a decent terrible song today because of Valentine's Day.  The programmers put on the love song playlists.)
