| I thought that at first too, but if you look at the velvets' track record... and when she's 'down on her knees' I don't think she's tying her shoes if you know what i mean! | |

| this narrator's girlfreind (or wife) just dumped him. he's cluelessly wondering why she just doesn't simply quit all this nonsense and just do what she should, then everything will "work alright." we've all been in his situation- i know i have! but everybody listening to the song knows, better than the narrator, that she isn't EVER coming back. irony. great song to deceive yourself with your being dumped - not to mention outstanding rhythm guitar work by the late great sterling morisson. i've always liked his playing amd this song is the best example of his excellence. | |
