Story Behind The Song
A fun song, about guy trying to have his way with a girl for some fun, but falls in love and she gets the last laugh.
Song Description
Guy tries to pick up a girl, by saying he's been searching for her all of his life, and will love her for ever - for tonight. But he falls in love with her and she actually uses him. Alas, the girl always wins...
A fun, silly upbeat song with real horns, and some vocal throwbacks to the sixties harmonies (think Byrds and The Beatles)

Lyrics
Well I was thinkin' she's the one
Her friends are leavin' she drinks alone
Took off her hat, let down her hair
She needs a beer, so I appeared
When I get through she won't even have a clue
Honey I was thinkin' later on
After some drinkin' and singin' songs
Let's take a walk and maybe talk
As I conspire to light your fire
I'll get my way and all I have to do is say
(Chorus)
You're the girl/man I've
been lookin' for all of my life
I feel like I've known you forever
Is it love at first sight
I can't keep from lovin' nobody but you for tonight
One night of lovin' with me, it'll be alright
Well I was thinkin', 'bout you last night
My heart was beatin' I lost the fight
I've met my match, no strings attached
I've been uncovered, I think I love her
When she got through I'm the one without a clue
I wasn't thinkin' I'd find you there
My dream is endin', hello nightmare
She's at the bar, smokin' cigars
With some man I just can't stand
She got her way and all she had to do was say
Chorus
I just keep thinkin' later on
After some drinkin' and singin' songs
Let's take a walk and maybe talk
As I conspire to light your fire
So much for thinkin'
