Songfactscorrectionofficer: from UkThis song isn't about feeling guilty, or cheating as I have read. I went through the same feelings this song describes so well. It's about being young with a lot of lust around you, fame and status namely the cause of so many lustful opportunities. Yet you are with a woman you love dearly & would never cheat on. The lust for others is overwhelming and needs to be experienced before one feels they can truly settle down. Most men would just cheat, have their cake and eat it. But to be young and lustful it's an incredibly difficult decision to make to leave the one you love, out of respect, whilst you 'still' love them in order to fulfil your sexual desires respectfully. The song is about this conundrum.
