The song, as McKnight states in the beginning, "is not another love song". Instead, the song's lyrics expresses a sense of dismay at one man's seemingly excessive pride in himself because of his apparently attractive girlfriend, who McKnight used to be with. McKnight seems to try to offer advice on the past relationship between the two, since the woman hasn't told her new boyfriend. He does not want the girl's new boyfriend to be mad at him when she mentions him. Apparently the girl cannot get over him, judging from her demeanor whenever she and her boyfriend are together in Brian's presence, and is still holding her feelings for him away from her new man; "She's still thinkin' 'bout me, And I'll tell you why, She couldn't even hold her head up when you walked by."
