I believe it is about Leslie Howe. She met him when she start recording around 13/14 and then was dropped from her record company at 19. At the time Howe would have been 29, so that's 15 years. She also has said in interviews that it's about having an affair with an older man that lasted 5 years. Well, that's 5 years between recording and time she was dropped. Also, the line "I might want to marry you one day if you watch that weight and you keep your firm body" relates to other comments of hers that when she was younger they would call her in to do vocals and wound up hearing about how she had to stay thin and this is what led to her eating disorder. Just my two cents. |
