The narrator addresses several lies that women tend to tell regarding their expectations of their significant others. For example, it doesn't matter how much money they make, what car they drive, or how much they weigh; and it's interesting to listen to them brag about golf, hunting, and getting wings at [[Hooters]].

==Critical reception==
Deborah Evans Price, of ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' magazine reviewed the song favorably, saying that "a clever lyric combined with a spirited performance make this highly compatible with previous Clark hits." and "boasts a lively tempo that makes it great summer radio fare, and the lyric will make listeners chuckle."<ref>''[[Billboard magazine|Billboard]]'', May 8, 2004</ref>
