This song make about as much sense as a duet as IACBTMN.

I could see it working on stage with a boy and girl who aren't singing about EACH OTHER, but as an album track I don't think it would work, as the assumption would be they are singing about each other and leave the listener wondering: "So why won't it just quit???? Why don't they fucking hook up already?"
