I like the pairing of these two songs. In the first, the person in the song is arrogant and sexist, totally unlikeable. In the sencond, he's humbled, perhaps by experience, perhaps by time and distance. It takes the edge off the first song, and leaves the listener with the feeling that the fellow in the song has learned a little lesson about life. I also like the comparative subtlety of the second song. Just asking simple innocent questions, but the listener can tell there's so much more beneath the surface.
Do you mean to say that the guy is asking after the same girl during the 2nd half of the song? I never would've figured that. So THATS why he paired these two. And I thought he had left his old girl and was asking after one that he hadn't loved yet but would like to love so he could just leave her to.
