The song is actually based on an incident that involved her manager, who would have breakfast in "Tom's Diner", here in NY. The story is told through his eyes.

I dunno, I think he is still around. The original is an a Capella, a group of D.J. called DNA added the music years later.

The acapella version was quirky, but DNA took it a whole new level. music

Have you ever used your eyes to observe your surroundings at a certain moment? If so, then you should already understand what the song is really about.

I caught her in concert about 1 1/2 years ago, and for the first time she did both versions onstage! Her band entered on the a Capella version, and they closed with the DNA version. It was great.

The funny thing about that remix is that it was first done as a bootleg. Her manager got a hold of one and they wanted to sue them. They later made an agreement in regards to rights and credits.
