Problems listening to the file? See media help.Richard's lyrics describe an affair between two committed monogamous people and the resulting emotional dilemma. Focused on Marx's vocals, it features a slow tempo, a slow fade-in, and uses little to no percussion until a crescendo near the end including an electric guitar.
In 2006, the song was featured in the Family Guy episode Barely Legal when Brian took Meg to a school dance.
