Nickelback’s breakout single and probably still their biggest song. It hit #1 at the Hot 100 for four weeks and ended as the top song of 2002 after 22 weeks in the Top 10.
In an interview with MTV, Nickelback’s lead singer Chad Kroeger said that he wrote the song about his old girlfriend Jodi, who he had a rather dysfunctional relationship with. He kept the lyrics very ambiguous, however, which accounts for much of the song’s success, as many people could relate to an ex who started pointing out all of your faults at the same time and caused considerable heartbreak: “This time I’m mistaken, for handing you a heart worth breaking.” Silver Side Up was Nickelback’s third album, and many of the songs were about relationships and personal issues.

[Verse 1]
Never made it as a wise man
I couldn’t cut it as a poor man stealing
Tired of livin’ like a blind man
I’m sick of sight without a sense of feeling
And this is how you remind me
[Pre-Chorus]
This is how you remind me of what I really am
This is how you remind me of what I really am
[Chorus]
It’s not like you to say sorry
I was waitin’ on a different story
This time I’m mistaken
For handing you a heart worth breakin’
And I’ve been wrong, I’ve been down
Been to the bottom of every bottle
These five words in my head
Scream, “Are we havin’ fun yet?”
[Post-Chorus]
Yet, yet, yet, no, no
Yet, yet, yet, no, no
[Verse 2]
It’s not like you didn’t know that
I said, “I love you,” and I swear I still do
And it must have been so bad
‘Cause livin’ with me must have damn near killed you
[Pre-Chorus]
And this is how you remind me of what I really am
This is how you remind me of what I really am
[Chorus]
It’s not like you to say sorry
I was waitin’ on a different story
This time I’m mistaken
For handing you a heart worth breakin’
And I’ve been wrong, I’ve been down
Been to the bottom of every bottle
These five words in my head
Scream, “Are we havin’ fun yet?”
[Post-Chorus]
Yet, yet, yet, no, no
Yet, yet, yet, no, no
Yet, yet, yet, no, no
Yet, yet, yet, no, no
[Bridge]
Never made it as a wise man
I couldn’t cut it as a poor man stealin’
And this is how you remind me
This is how you remind me
[Pre-Chorus]
This is how you remind me of what I really am
This is how you remind me of what I really am
[Chorus]
It’s not like you to say sorry
I was waitin’ on a different story
This time I’m mistaken
For handing you a heart worth breakin’
And I’ve been wrong, I’ve been down
Been to the bottom of every bottle
These five words in my head
Scream, “Are we havin’ fun yet?”
[Outro]
Yet, yet, are we havin’ fun yet?
Yet, yet, are we havin’ fun yet?
Yeah, yeah (These five words in my head scream)
Are we havin’ fun yet?
Yeah, yeah (These five words in my head)
No, no
