Hmmm....falling for a girl/guy with a Italian/African background.

maybe it's about Prince, who does have that background.

LOL good try, but NO not them! However, it IS about an Italian/African American.

Basically the title is meant to be derogatory in a playful manner not in a mean way. Italians hate it when you call their "pasta" spaghetti and African Americans are made fun of because they have a reputation of eating lots of watermelon. Basically the writer is saying to this person, "why u frontin?, you act like you don't want me, when u do. you're so full of yourself. I just sit around waiting for you to pay attention to me. I wish I could find someone else just like you. Or I'll do anything to find someone else just like you. How can I make you understand??"


thanks for the try though!!! you were the one that came the closest! wink
