| This was my first favorite ELO song (although, I also grew to love "Telephone Line" and "Sweet Talkin' Woman"). | |

| I think this song is definitely about a relationship (say, girlfriend/boyfriend, but could also apply to regular friendship) in which one person (the singer) is constantly put down / made to feel less significant by the other person (being sung to), who always leaves them behind. My rationale for the friendship idea is that many friendships with "two-faced" people can relate to this song perfectly. As for non-orchestral content, I think it's good. The only ELO songs that I like are the ones featuring restrained or no "orchestra-type" instruments...ie. this song, Four Little Diamonds, Do Ya...all of these songs do feature that type of instrument, but much less significantly than they're earlier hits. 1 | |

| I never knew this was ELO until I recognized the voice. The lack of orchestral instruments really threw me off. | |

| I've listened to just about every track ELO ever made. My all-time favorite band has brought me countless hours of joy over the years, but this tune, in my opinion, ranks near the bottom. One way I rank songs is by how many times I can listen to them before they grow tiresome. This one was getting old after the first couple of listens. Want to hear a great ELO tune? Try: "The Stranger" or "Birmingham Blues" | |

| This is by far my least favorite ELO song. The whole reason I gravitated towards them was the orchestra, and this song doesn't have any. I think it's their ONLY song without orchestra, but there's a fairly large chance I'm wrong. | |
