Lyrics And Composition

Lyrically, the song is about a girl who starts out trying to seduce a man on a short-term basis, however, he shows a greater interest and she falls in love with him. The girl is trying to get the man into something much more long-term, but also trying to keep from scaring him off at the same time.

Critical reception

After its premiere in October 2008, some critics expected the song to appear as a B-side, or bonus track, rather than an album track.[5] Aside from being received well by fans, the song received mostly positive reviews from music critics, who favored the track for its 'hillbilly vibe'.[8]

gollark: It might also cook the passenger, but that's a small price to pay for PROGRESS!
