The male narrator explains to his significant other that she has constantly been mistreating him; and although he still loves her, he ultimately comes to the realization that their relationship is in serious jeopardy and therefore contemplates ending it for good. Beforehand, the narrator presents his soon-to-be former lover an opportunity to give him a farewell kiss, informing her that she will regret the mistakes that she had made and will miss him after he leaves her.
Billboard's Eric Boehler praised the craftsmanship and production of the song, simply calling it "another welcome Brooks & Dunn outing."[1] Deborah Evans Price, of Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably, calling it a welcome change of pace from their "typically terrific barn-burning honky-tonkers and affecting tear-in-the-beer ballads." She goes on to call it "excellent song craftsmanship with great production."[2]
The music video for this song was directed by Michael Oblowitz. The video reached number one for one week on CMT'S Top 20 Countdown (then known as Top 12 Countdown) in 1995.
