Overview
Originally known as "Gitchoo", the song was intended for Songs from the Black Hole. In the song, Jonas presumably feels stung by Laurel who appears to have rejected him, possibly as a consequence of the events in "She's Had a Girl" and/or "Now I Finally See".
The 1995 Ft. Apache demo of this song features slightly different lyrics to those on the final Pinkerton version that better fit the SFTBH mold. "What I did to her, you've done to me" seems to refer to Jonas ditching Maria for Laurel, only to end up empty-handed himself.
"Getchoo" was performed live at many Blue Album tour shows, and during the band's 2005 tour, it was played with Brian Bell on lead vocals.

Lyrics
<lyrics>This is beginning to hurt This is beginning to be serious It used to be a game Now it's a cryin' shame 'Cuz you don't wanna play around no more
Sometimes I push too hard Sometimes you fall and skin your knee I never meant to do All that I've done to you Please, baby, say it's not too late
To get you, uh-huh
You know this is breakin' me up You think that I'm some kind of freak But if you'd come back to me Then you would surely see That I'm just foolin' around
I can't believe What you've done to me What I did to them You've done to me</lyrics>
