The alternate version was put on later pressings of the album with the full intro, reworked chorus and outro. Cuomo stated in an interview during the band's 2005 performance at the AOL Sessions as saying "Well, if these ten thousand people think it should go this way, maybe we should go back and re-record it." When touring in summer 2005, when the band prompted the crowd to sing along, they oddly enough sang it in the other way Cuomo had written it (different from the record version). The reworked chorus that appears in the radio edit was one of two ways Cuomo originally wrote the song. The radio edit is eight seconds shorter than the album version. The radio edit of this song features a shortened intro, a synth track on the first and second chorus (the album version only has it on the second chorus), a reworked "oh-oh" chorus and the added backup vocals of "perfect situation" over the outro.
Singing… ooooooooooooooh owoooooo owoooo owo owooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooo owo owoooooo wwwowwwo wowowoww woooooooowoooowooooooooooooow I don’t wanna be lonely For the rest of my days on the earth. Leading me to better prepare For the day that something really special might come. Though I can’t satisfy all the needs she has And so she starts to wander… Can you blame her? singing… oooooooh oh. Get your hands off the girl, Can’t you see that she belongs to me? And I don’t appreciate this excess company. And I just pass through… singing… ooooooh oh. 'Cause I could not have it better, But I just can’t get no play From the girls, all around As they search the night for someone to hold onto. Hungry nights, once again Now it’s getting unbelievable. All I have to do is swing and I’m a hero, but I’m a zero. What’s the deal with my brain? Why am I so obviously insane? In a perfect situation I let love down the drain.
