This became more apparent when his wife filed for divorce and his music became harder than it had been and his lyrics became more personal and harsh. He played keys on one New Found Glory song and often joined them on stage during their Back to Basics tour in the spring of 2005. More recently, Dewees has announced playing keyboard on some of My Chemical Romance's new cd. When asked about "Reggie" he said that once the new MCR cd comes out, I will be touring with them and become a full blown member of MCR.
The fifth studio album titled Last Stop: Crappy Town was released June 17, 2008.

he likes you
but does he really try
can he do
what I do
should you just say good-bye
your girlfriends
they tell you

Would he say

I wish you'd say good-bye
It's nothing that I can do (it's nothing, i can do)

This is all that I'm saying

In Reggie and the Full Effect's song Your Girlfriends Hate Me, the singer is making a case to the subject of the song to leave her boyfriend and be with him instead. He uses her friends' skepticism toward men as an argument for her to leave him, implying that he has a different, more trustworthy demeanor. He suggests that her boyfriend may love her, but is not able to communicate with her as effectively as he can. The singer acknowledges that he can't force the subject to do anything, but promises to continue writing songs for her in hopes that she'll change her mind.
The lyrics show the singer's confidence in his ability to make the subject happier than her current boyfriend can. The repetition of "it's nothing that I can do, just write another song for you" shows that he's willing to put in the effort to win her over, in spite of possibly facing rejection. The song has a catchy, upbeat tone to it, which adds to the singer's persuasiveness.
