Fooling around Quote by Ritu Ghatourey
“When a man cheats on his woman, He's an unfaithful dog; When a woman cheats on a man, He never tried hard enough to keep her around. When a man says to a woman he's not ready for a relationship, He's keeping her as an option, playing with her feelings and fooling around with other women. When a woman says the same thing, She's got more important things to do than be in a relationship. When a man is single, He's a loser; When a woman is single, She just hasn't found Mr. Right yet. When a man gives a reason for his actions, He got excuses. When a woman does the same, She's 100% right.”

You should write a song and stick it in there.' And I was like, 'Well, what should the song be about?'
