The song is about a girl becoming interested in a guy who is more interested in friendship. Though she says it's okay to be friends, she knows that she doesn't want only that. Throughout the song, she keeps trying to change his mind, wondering how their relationship could go if they get together and how long they would last. She reminisces over the fact that she used to be very careful as far as relationships were concerned but then he came along and changed everything, making her want to just jump right into a relationship with him without thinking about it first. By then end, all she can think about is what she could possibly do to get his attention in the romantic way. She's confused herself because she doesn't know if she's reading his body language right or if it's the alcohol toying with her. She reiterates that she's constantly thinking about him and how she wants to be with him. She's like-struck, not love-struck.
