Do You Know What You’re Singing? 10 Songs With Surprising Meanings

Lauryn Hill – “The Ex Factor”

This post was inspired by a Youtube comment on this song.  A woman dedicated it to her husband, and another said that it was the song she danced to on her wedding night.

The problem is, “The Ex Factor,” which was inspired by Lauryn’s troubled relationship with Wyclef, was about an emotionally abusive relationship that the singer is desperately trying to get out of.

Suspect lyric:  “And when I try to walk away/ You hurt yourself to make me stay/ This is crazy.”

Yes, it is INCREDIBLY crazy!

Not the song you want to passionately sing to your groom, no?
