| He's TRYING to convince her (and even himself) that he WON'T be her beast of burden anymore, but it's not true. He will do anything for her, even though she treats him poorly, just to be with her. | |

| Its a BEAUTIFUL song. I agree with darnheckshoot. He said he won't be her beast of burden but he will do anything for her. It's like when you say something, and you mean it but deep inside you know it's not true, you know you cant help it. | |

| This song totally relates to what I'm going through: I'm seeing someone who is hesitant to get too serious. He keeps thinking I'm going to pressure him into being more than he is ready to be. This song is great because it's like saying, chill out, it's not a big deal, I won't drag you down, and all I really want is to keep making love. | |
