George was so young and naive. He was in a relationship that was ending. And he had a difficult time letting it go. In the early days his song involve encounters with the women. And this had to be with one of his background singers or Jody Watley. He had a thing for women with full lips and full figured.
I tend to disagree my friend. In a documentary.."carless wiskers". George stated he wrote this song, for an American man, whom worked (??) or was at a bar. THIS man was openly gay...George was coming around to being open. He was very unsure about his coming out. He called this man, on the phone one night, and sang it to him over the phone...and recorded for him shortly after.

'A Different Corner' also seemed to be about a specific situation, you splitting up with someone…
Oh yeah! It was actually my first true infatuation – it involved no proper sex, nothing. Think about how self-obsessed first love is. It was me going, “I’m ready to feel this now”. The other person is almost incidental – they’re the victim, really. I obsessed about this person for ages, and soon after I met him he said; “I don’t want to be your boyfriend”. Which was a very clever thing to say at the time.
