What Parents Need to Know
About "My Life Would Suck Without You" (CD single)
Parents need to know that while this single describes exactly the type of romantic relationship that teens (and adults) should avoid, the CD it's on (All I Ever Wanted) actually sends a positive overall message. This tune's premise revolves around a girl who admits she and her guy are bad for each other ("I know that I've got issues / But you're pretty messed up, too"). But when he shows up on her doorstep yet again, she second-guesses herself ("Maybe I was stupid for telling you goodbye") and decides to take him back ("Being with you is so dysfunctional / I really shouldn't miss you / But I can't let you go").
