Story Behind The Song
The song is written from personal experience, but unfortunately the happy ending never happened in real life, I have written it how I would have liked it to have panned out.
Song Description
The song is about a guy who is trying to Woo back the love of his life after they have split up.Women often deal better than men with being on their own again after a long relationship ends.The girl is seen to have moved on and is out with a new bowe.The spurned lover goes out looking for his love and gets the wrong idea as the so called bowe is just a friend.The song ends with the lovers reunited in a loving embrace outside a night club.
