This is written about a man my best friend and I both dated (at different times!) who has always 'played the game' of romance instead of ever really meaning it. He's now approaching 50 and still trying to live this way.

Lyrics
Betcha Didn?t Even Know

Calling all of your guardian angels,
You will need them through the years that are bangin? on your door.
You have turned away the ones who would?ve stayed,
And you have hounded the ones you knew wouldn?t give up anything more.
I betcha didn?t even know ----- this song?s about you.
Some have tried to reach you, thinkin? you would take their hand,
Men have trusted you to shoot straight with them and with their wives.
Some have flown to you, thinking there?s a place to land.
Some have seen through to the fear in the rats behind those eyes.
I betcha didn?t even know ----- this song?s about you,
?Cause you?re a little bit slow ----- when it comes to coming through
(Guitar solo)
Calling all of your guardian angels,
They can guide you
To the way you thought things were supposed to be.
I betcha didn?t even know ------ this song?s about you,
?Cause you?re a little bit slow ------ when it comes to comin? through,
I betcha didn?t even know ------- this song?s about you,
?Cause you?re a little bit slow ------- when it comes to comin? through,
Ahhhh,
?Cause you?re a little bit slow ------ when it comes to comin? through,
Comin? through,
When it comes to comin? through....
