Jen Doesn't Like Me Anymore
Less Than Jake Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Jen thinks it isn't fair
That I don't really care
If she likes me or not
Jen doesn't like to settle
Until she makes me feel like Howie Reynolds
She thinks that I'm all that I've got
So, Jen doesn't like me anymore
And Jen doesn't like to go to my shows
She hates to hear my whoa-whoas




Jen doesn't like me anymore

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Less Than Jake's song Jen Doesn't are a lamentation about a relationship that has gone sour. The singer, presumably a musician, expresses that he no longer cares if Jen likes him or not, which she finds unfair. The line "Jen doesn't like to settle until she makes me feel like Howie Reynolds" seems to suggest that Jen is someone who constantly seeks and strives for more, but the singer doesn't seem to be interested in playing that game. He tells us that Jen thinks that he's "all that I've got" which may indicate that he's afraid of losing her, or that he's just not interested in other people.


The chorus, "So, Jen doesn't like me anymore, and Jen doesn't like to go to my shows, she hates to hear my whoa-whoas, Jen doesn't like me anymore" is a sad refrain that reinforces the fact that this relationship is over. The singer is resigned to the fact that Jen doesn't like him anymore, and he's come to terms with that. It's a melancholy song that speaks to the pain of lost love and the struggle to move on.
