Not really sure, but I think this song is about people telling lies. Sorry, I couldn't resist being so flip. C'mon, it's pop music! Seriously though, never really gave the words much thought because the song always made me want to dance. But then, over the past year or so, I came to the realization that my "best friend" was, in fact, a lying snake-in-the-grass. And one night I put this record on (yes, the vinyl 12-inch!) and all of a sudden these lyrics took on real meaning... Your best friend tells you he loves you, then you catch him telling a string of lies. What the heck is that about? "You told me you loved me, so I don't understand..."
