	Story Behind the Song Originally started in a jam session, this song evolved to entail much, much more. A sort of love story gone awry, the song's twist is that it reveals at the end that in fact the story isn't being told only to the listening audience, but to a young man at a bar eyeing a girl across the way. He considers ordering her a drink, but the crafty, more experienced older man recounting his memories gives him a warning about what could REALLY happen. Lyrics It started out when she was looking for something And I was out looking for a good time Maybe it was fate Maybe it was accidental But ever since that day she's been mine Now I admit that I've made some mistakes And I haven't been a saint times before But her words weren't quite what I expected Last night when I walked in the door (Chorus) (And she said) Hey baby we've both gotta be careful 'cuz I think that we're moving too fast We've gotta work this all out together If we want for our lovin' to last Want our lovin' to last... The night we met there were sparks between us And she didn't put up much of a fight I remember being completely wasted And I don't remember much else that night But understand I'm an emotional man I've got all kinds of emotional needs And though I regret the state of mind I was in I don't regret having done the deed (Chorus) We went back to her place that night And ever since that night we'd never looked back (Hey! Hey!) My girl isn't much of a looker But you know she's pretty good in the sack! But I'm a man with a wandering spirit and commitment ain't my kind of thing I was in shock from the weight of the moment When out of nowhere She started to scream! (Chorus) I ran away And I'm not sorry when I say That 'til this day I've had no regrets And though I hear that she's been chasing after me She sure hasn't caught up to me yet! But understand Listen to me young man Because this is my story to you: Before you pick up that bottle tonight I thought I would tell you what it could do. (Chorus) (x3) Hey baby I don't wanna be careful and I don't think that we're moving too fast I don't really wanna work it all out and I don't want our lovin' to last Don't want our lovin' to last!
