It’s about a girl who sleeps around a lot and feels like she benefits from it, whereas in reality people are talking and laughing about her behind her back. “All of her lovers all talk of her notes and the flowers that they never sent” – they have no respect for her. The line “she loves to be one of the girls” suggests she’s living the way she thinks society tells her to, but it doesn’t make her happy. I like to think she ended up happily married. The sarcasm, sorrow and general malaise and melancholy are autobiographical. Molly Ringwald was a massive fan of ours and she played the song to John Hughes and said, “You should make a film based on this.” It was bizarre but very lucky.”
