  • 727 from TorontoMe personally this is my favourite on tha album
  • Claire from Miller's, MdMe, personally I realy like this song=)
  • Sara from Camborne, EnglandI think maybe the part that goes "Fumblin' through your dresser drawer, forgot what I was looking for, try to guide me in the right direction", I reckon 'dresser drawer' is a metaphor, with 'try to guide me in the right direction' being a way to say he wants to make her feel good enough, by pleasuring her for her to tell him she loves him.
  • Alisa from Franklin, WiMy least favorite song from their album.
