Week Four: Various Duets - Pete Yorn & Scarlett Johansson - "Relator" - Break Up

Way back in 2009, when I was still getting cable TV for free, as a result of the kindness of the young cable guy who set up my lines, this song showed up on VH-1.  It was so incredibly catchy, and it was one of those tunes that I found myself humming throughout the day - so be forewarned if you have never heard it.  The only way for me to be able to stop humming the same lines over and over was to eventually purchase it from iTunes. 

I can't remember how I ended up losing my free cable connection, but believe me, I did not shed a tear over it.  I have not watched TV in over two years, and I am all the better for it.  What I do miss is those rare moments when I was able to find little gems such as this song while flipping channels.  However, TouTube provides the same opportunities; so I am at no loss truly.

When I met you,
I didn't know what to do.
I was tired,
I was hungry,
I fight.
Now I'm away,
I write home everyday and I see you on the TV at night.

[Chorus]
You can see that life's for us to talk about.
You can leave whenever you want out.
Whoa.
You don't relate to me,
no girl,
you don't respect me,
no girl,
no girl. Oh yeah.

When I met you,
I didn't know what to do,
but I noticed that I didn't really feel.
Now you're away,
you write home everyday.
I don't beg,
I don't borrow,
I steal.

[Chorus]

You don't think that life's for us to talk about.
You can leave whenever you want out,
you want out.
Well, you don't relate to me,
no girl.
You don't respect me,
no girl.
(you can leave when ever you want out)
And you don't relate to me,
no girl.
And you don't respect me,
no girl.
(You can leave whenever you want out)
No you don't relate to me,
no girl.
And you don't respect me,
no girl.
No girl. Yeah.
