i never thought about it in the way dreadhead69 said about it being about poverty stricken single mothers...interesting. my take on this song is a girlfriend consumed by stress and dumping it out onto her boyfriend all the time so that he just wants to see her happy again; but instead of being a jerk back to her, he sympathizes and acknowledges her pain.
