The ‘11’ is not on the 11th fret but it played fast on the 1st fret twice, 
and there is some notes that play on that way too, so just listen for it.

No Picture colin Average	#3 by colin gardiner at Apr 5, 1980 at 3:26 AM EST
	I just love the way the music accentuates the anger in this song. The music in this song really makes it great. I didn't like it for a long time, but one day while driving I just finally got it. That drum beat and guitar on the 8ths makes it sound so stalking and angry ... love it. Props to the band.

No Picture Eskil Oscar Average	#4 by Eskil Oscar Svendsen at Feb 7, 1982 at 7:15 PM EST
	I can't wait for Matchbox 20 concert!!!! It's gonna rock! If they sound that good on the record I could imagine what they sound like in concert! Yeah Baby! Woooooo!

No Picture Chase Average	#5 by Chase K at Feb 24, 1982 at 5:16 AM EST
	its about a person who doens't think their partner will do fine on their own, but the other person is actually strong, so to prove this, he breaks up with her, although he loves her and doens't want to do it.

No Picture Patrick Wanna Be	#6 by Patrick Bastien at Aug 21, 1983 at 7:41 PM EST
	this song makes me think of one person who meant everything to me but now i hate yia, good times

No Picture Wanna Be	#7 by †.::xXMaidenMistressXx::.† at Feb 19, 1984 at 4:47 PM EST
	absolutely love this song. matchbox 20's genius always shines through

No Picture Mike Average	#8 by Mike Fraguglia at Sep 21, 1987 at 10:37 AM EST
	I think he's happy that he's made the desicion to move on...but she's his disease, because she's like his obsession...he wants to forget and let go because of all the hurt she's caused...but for some reason he can't...like a disease: you want to fight it off but, get better...but sometimes you can't.

No Picture Steve Wanna Be	#9 by Steve at May 29, 1989 at 3:09 PM EST
	I love this song..it's so energetic and strong

No Picture austin Average	#10 by austin wheeler at Feb 13, 1990 at 12:41 AM EST
	this song is so friggin awesome, and it's meaning is self-explanatory so there's not too much to say. Rob Thomas is a song writing genius and Matchbox 20 rules

No Picture TED Average	#11 by TED at Apr 6, 1992 at 2:47 PM EST
	this song is about a guy who is obsessed w/ a girl- that's why she's his disease. after she leaves him, he can't get over her. at the end of the song, though, he does and he cures the disease

No Picture Anorexorcist Average	#12 by Anorexorcist at May 8, 1993 at 1:32 AM EST
	I am not really crazy about this song, I heard it and felt really bad about even thinking about getting the new cd, but when I heard unwell, I fell in love with MB20 again, I had been a big fan of yourself or someone like you when that first came out and I really liked the old tabitha's secret stuff, but when mad season came out, I had to quit listening to them for a while, but after hearing unwell, I am in love again and matchbox 20 is all I am listening to now

No Picture Wanna Be	#13 by at Apr 13, 1995 at 9:52 PM EST
	MB20 comes to town in april! i can't wait. i've never seen them in concert so it should be awesome.

No Picture Venti Average	#14 by Venti at Jul 19, 2000 at 12:39 PM EST
	I have always loved matchbox 20. This song is definitely one of their best. Rock On!

No Picture Paris Average	#15 by Paris Seawell at Nov 5, 2000 at 3:17 PM EST
	Damn I love this song!! I'm definitely buying the new album.

No Picture GT Wanna Be	#16 by GT at Nov 26, 2003 at 11:59 AM EST
	wow...definitely my favorite MB20 song along with Bent..first song i heard for MB20 and it made me download all thier albums and now, they are one of my fav bands..gr8 lyrics and emotions...Sexy_Harriet sez it all but i feel slightly differently about it ..i think this guy is really into this girl and shes a total screw-up but there is a part of him that really wants to be with her. "I cant live witout u wat am i supposed to do about it", "Beautiful girl, bless your heart".but then hes not that happy also "u drove me to the fire and left me there to burn", "Beautiful girl, i cant breath". he feels so sick but likes the attention you get when ur sick..Thats y hes having trouble leaving and getting over her.. The thing i really like in this song is the way he says "Hey, i'm letting go, thats enuff,,,honey" :D i think its really funny in a sad way..lol.. my favorite line has got to be "u taste like honey honey tell me can i be ur honeybee"..and yea Gabigs, i think it sounds sexy ...lol... MB20 RUUUULEZZZ

No Picture Hobey Average	#17 by Hobey Bass at Mar 22, 2004 at 4:32 PM EST
	MeShell I think had the best thought of it. The girl seems to be his disease. She thinks she is all hot shit and he was the only one to put her in her place. But she still kind of plagues his mind. All though I can see where Happily Sullen gets their idea from. Which gives it more of a strong meaning. Just depends on how you look at it. At first I didn't care much for this song. I figured this CD was going to be bad. But It kind of grows on you. The rest of the CD was great though.
