During his `` VH1 Storytellers '' performance, Mayer stated that he wrote the song about his first girlfriend at age 14. The song was actually named `` Strawberry Wonderland '' but was later changed by Mayer. There has been speculation that Mayer wrote the song about Jennifer Love Hewitt, whom he dated in 2002, but she denied it. Hewitt told Entertainment Weekly, `` My body is far from a wonderland. My body is more like a pawnshop. There 's a lot of interesting things put together, and if you look closely you 'd probably be excited, but at first glance, not so much ''. According to the liner notes, a toy piano is used as an instrument in the song. Lyrics The line `` I 'm never speaking up again '', sung in the background, is also prominently featured in the chorus to the song `` My Stupid Mouth '', which appears just before the song on Room For Squares.
