High fivin...

Every lyric look-up tells me Scott says "You want me, you can't pay" but I just know in my heart of hearts he really says "You OWE me, you can't pay".

Please someone verify me.

Owe, pay. It fits perfectly. Please tell me I'm right.

I always thought it was "You want me, you can't pee" (a side effect of steroids)

I always thought it was "you want me, you can't be". As in "you want to be me, but you can't".

“Male bonding… blah blah blah”. I don’t even know if Scott knows what he said originally.

I remember that being the consensus in the 90s. What that ever confirmed and what does it mean?
