Cover art for One Man's Problem lyrics by Jayhawks, The

The guy had a relationship that was very important to him, and it is no longer, for whatever reason. He's over it, but he still loves the woman, but as a friend. He's in a relationship with someone else, and he's trying to explain to his new lover about how his old one is still an important part of his life.

I agree about the new relationship/ old relationship, but I think the issue is that he's not over the old relationship. I don't think he's still friends with his ex -- she made her escape, and she's still badmouthing him.

Great song!
