Me and my friend were listening to "You Know I'm No Good" and he asked me what did Amy mean by "by the time, I'm out the door, you tear me down like Roger Moore"...and I've always noticed that line, but never really quite acknowledged its meaning. lol Does anyone of you guys know?

Well maybe if you knew who Roger Moore is...that might help.

He played James Bond in seven Bond movies and I believe the line is "You tear men down.."

so...Bond? Tear men down?

haha ;)

Lol, I knew who Roger Moore was. But I still wasn't exactly sure. I thought she was saying "men" but some crappy lyrics site said "me". Thanks for clearing that up! lol

footwear. in the US a pump is a heel, but i've seen people here refer to her ballet flats as pumps as well. F me pumps is an expression for a foxy pair of sexy high heels, which give a woman a certain body language. hope this helps!!!

do a 180 means to turn around and go in the opposite direction, that's 180 degrees of a circle like a U turn

Looks like Amy's using the American vernacular here. Pumps in the UK used to mean canvas shoes something like deck shoes of today so it's another reversal of meaning (a 180?). A girl walking along the pavement in pumps in the UK would be someone in flatties minding their own business on the sidewalk, whereas in the States she would be walking up the middle of the road in heels disrupting traffic lol But what on earth is a skag? :shrug:

Shes catches herself...gains control and does a 180, turns things around..
