The guy doesnt even sing the right lyrics!!! It's "slammed your fingers in the DRAWER" not door!!! Also "LINED my eyes", not dyed!! Come back when Brian Eno wants to produce it for you, yeah!!!
@corymurawske32 No it is drawer, as in a till or cash register. This is the worst attempt at a james song ever. if i ever meet him I will sing it for him and make him blush.
I love how he didnt say "she only comes when she's ontop" I thought that was cute. And I also thought when he said "Come on butterflies, sing!" as cute also. Marry me?
he has the lyrics all wrong, wtf is "dot my eyes and call me pretty"... it's "lined my eyes..." and not "slammed my fingers in a door" but... "slammed my fingers in the drawer, fought with kitchen knives and skewers"... listen to the real song man and don't make it sound stupid
if you think this is the best version you need to hear Butch Walker's version... my personal opinion, it's better than this one and the original by James
Nothing against the James version or anything...I think both of them are phenomenal, but I guess since Matt is my favorite recording artist is the reason I like this one better.
But she only 0:12 ... HAHAHA :D
