I think this poem shouldn't be over-analyzed. For me it's obvious in its simiplicity. It's about an ex-partner who has started going out with someone else, who may have more obvious qualities, or at least seem to ("He can make a lot of money, he can touch his toes" and "He can rattle his bell in shining shoe") and the storyteller might even have at some point joined the party (making Sam's words about the song being a threesome believable) but the new guy knows, just as well as they do, that he will never really have with her what they have. Their love is not really challenged by him and they are a still team. I'm guessing the threesome ended up in the original twosome. |

To me, this is a lover in a long-distance relationship asking the other for an open relationship as she is not satisfied. She is in desperate need for intimacy she cannot have and even her memories of the intimacy they have/had is fading. |
