That's the one song of Joni's that I HATE, absolutely cannot tolerate
listening to. My head knows and appreciates that there's humor in it,
but emotionally I don't feel it. I HATE the way Joni's begging for
something from such a withholding guy. Her frustration and self-insults
in that song strike too close to home for me, and every time I listen to
it I just want to shake Joni and tell her not to waste her time on such
a cold guy. Anyone that stingy doesn't deserve Joni, or anyone to care
about him from my point of view. It's been years since I've heard that
song... it must bring up issues... apparently still unresolved ones...

generous fellow!
