They say you're only young once

You don't want forever

Boy, you better sleep around while you can

If life has only begun

Don't know where it's ending

But I'd rather spend it holding your hand

And some might say that's a little old fashioned

Things move fast when you're taking it slow

Don't know why, when, or how it all happened

Caught me off-guard when you pulled me in close

I don't want to ruin all your plans

But I might need a lifetime

And I know you don't really need a man

But I'd like to change your mind

'Cause you're the only finish line that I want to run toward

Second that I met you, girl, I knew I was done for

Mm, I want that wartime love

Photo in my pocket and my picture in her locket back home

I want that one of one

Kind of catastrophic

Once you got it. You can never let it go

Yeah, and some might say that's a little old fashioned

Things move fast when you're taking it slow

Don't know why, when, or how it all happened

Caught me off-guard when you pulled me in close

I don't want to ruin all your plans

But I might need a lifetime

And I know you don't really need a man

But I'd like to change your mind

'Cause you're the only finish line that I want to run toward

Second that I met you, girl, I knew I was done for

I took you in that dress like a bullet to the chest

Oh, baby, I was done for

I'll be catching my breath till the day that I'm dead

Baby, I was done for

Don't wanna ruin all your plans

But I might need a lifetime

I know you don't really need a man

But I'd like to change your mind

The only finish line that I wanna run toward

Second that I met you, girl, I knew I was done for

All I ever wanted, how could I ever want more?

Second that I met you, girl, I knew I was done for
