Songfacts®:

  • This is the second single from Plain White T's sixth studio album, The Wonders of the Younger. Frontman Tom Higginson said of the tune in an interview with Alternative Press magazine: "The story of my life. I always end up falling for the wrong girl. No matter how crazy she is or how bad she treats me, I can't break my fascination with her. I just keep coming back for more. It's kind of a sad reality, but set to some soaring melodies, it makes for the most infectious song on the album."

    For the record, Delilah of their #1 hit "Hey There Delilah" was not one of these girls - she never went out with him.
