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
