A song that once again really resignates the feelings of many people in their teenage years. In one way, it's a great song about someone who came at the right time to lend a shoulder. On the other hand, it could also be perceived as someone taking advantage of the other. I believe, considering the rest of the Pet Sounds album, that it was the former. The end of this song is just amazing. It picks up quickly and batters out great lines. The last one which says "you didn't think that I could sit back and let you go" almost means that now he has her, and will not let her go even if the other guy comes back. Another perfect song from the Pet Sounds album.
