. Making love in the afternoon with Cecilia
. Up in my bedroom (making love)
. I got up to wash my face
. When I come back to bed
. Someone's taken my place
Seriously? You're in love with a girl who cheats on you in 5 minutes? I guess if you're polyamorous but if that was the case the song wouldn't exist. The fact that they person sticks around for this mental abuse is a complete turn off. I love how catchy the song is but I can't take message of such a bad relationship and that fact that he's digging his own hole by continuing to hope she'll stop cheating.
