Story Behind The Song

Kinda of a playful, tongue-in-cheek tune that poses as a sad tale of a guy who's girlfriend tells him she's off at the library studying for her college degree, only to find out she's stepping out at the bars and discos. Heavens, no! Has a Little Feat/Lowell George and Joe Cocker vibe to it. Heavens!

Verse 1.
You headed to your night classes
To work on a college degree
But, I know the secrets
You've been trying to keep from me
I wonder how you get your grades
How you get your stars
When you're out taking courses
In the discotheques and bars
So, I gotta say ....
Chorus
Go, go, go and baby, stay away
I hurt too much to squeeze
Go, go, go and, baby, stay away
I hurt too much to squeeze
(BACK VOCAL: I hurt too much, I hurt too much baby, baby, baby, yeah, I hurt too much)

Verse 2.
You're a sweet little bee, baby
A bubbling bowl of honey
You got a hairpin stinger
And a hair trigger love
But, you go through men
Just like a pack of cigarettes
Yeah, ya smokes 'em up
While you're increasing their debts
So, I gotta say ......
Repeat Chorus
Go, go, go and baby, stay away
I hurt too much to squeeze
Go, go, go and, baby, stay away
I hurt too much to squeeze
(BACK VOCAL: I hurt too much, I hurt too much baby, baby, baby, yeah, I hurt too much)

MUSIC BREAK:

BRIDGE
I'm feeling like boogie putt
Always a step behind
You had me reaching for the money
I've been hiding in my hatband
Now, what goes into a free hot dog?
What's floating in a free beer?
I had to find out the hard way
When after just one night you were calling you dear
So,.....
Repeat Chorus
Go, go, go and baby, stay away
I hurt too much to squeeze
Go, go, go and, baby, stay away
I hurt too much to squeeze
(BACK VOCAL: I hurt too much, I hurt too much baby, baby, baby, yeah, I hurt too much)
