You know better alright...

A couple of weeks ago Justin and I went to a live show at Soho downtown with David and JoAnn. It was the Hotel Cafe tour- a tour of all female artists- some played acoustic, some electric, some piano, some with a house band. It was a really good show- I especially enjoyed the songs by Jaymay- you can check her out here singing "Blue or Gray" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rx89Eng7rRo.

Then there was Meiko. David and JoAnn really liked Meiko but I wasn't a huge fan- she has this sort of strange way of contorting her voice to get a certain sound. BUT I was warming up to her during her second set. Then she shared this story with the audience about how she was BEST friends with this guy and then she met his girlfriend and his girlfriend was all jealous of her and she had NO IDEA why because they were JUST FRIENDS and she was all sad because it ruined her friendship with this guy.

Boo hoo Meiko. You're shady.

But that's not even the half of it. She then proceeds to sing the song that she wrote about the situation. Here are the lyrics:

When I first met you I knew you were the one

till you took me home and met her

she had your boxers on

she was listening to your song

and i thought right then that you had everything

But i knews he was jealous from the start

yeah i knew she was jealous from the start

Cos i know better not to be friends with boys with girlfriends

oh i know better than that i know better

you play the victim and i'll be the bad guy

i know better than that, i know better(oh oh oh oh oh oh X2)

We started hanging around after 9

i couldve sworn you i was yours

you looked at me and said

its a little too late for bed

we went to hopesal and talked about everything

But i knewshe was jealous from the start

yeah i knewshe was jealous from the start

Cos i know better not to be friends with boys with girlfriends

oh i know better than that i know better

you play the victim and i'll be the bad guy

i know better than that, i know better(oh)

What she did to us was tragic

oh oh ohand i have to do what's right

oh oh oh what we had was really magic oh oh oh

but i have to get what's mine oh

i don't get what's mine and you get yours

Cos i know better not to be friends with boys with girlfriends

oh i know better than that i know better

you play the victim and i'll be the bad guy

i know better than that, i know better(oh)

You should have seen JoAnn and I- jaws on the floor. Women all over the room pulled their boyfriends closer to them.

Yeah. You know better alright.
