Songfacts:  You can leave comments about the song at the bottom of the page.

This was the follow up Hootie & the Blowfish's debut single "Hold My Hand," and it also scored great success. The song is about a man struggling to cope with his alcoholic wife, something covered the same year in the motion picture When A Man Loves A Woman. Frontman Darius Rucker stated in numerous interviews that he wrote the song based on his past, but with the genders reversed - he was the irresponsible drunk whose long-suffering girlfriend tried to keep things together.

Comments:

I saw Hootie and the Blowfish about four years ago, and Darius Rucker said the inspiration came from the Black Crowes' "She Talks to Angels". He said he wanted to write a song like that, but from a different perspective.
