I think this song is about the drummer of the culture club, who Boy George was in love with, and who loved him too, but was confused because he wasnt gay. I believe the first verse is Boy George telling the drummer not to complain to him about how much he loves him but is confused, because this could be a beautiful relationship if he just overcomes his fears. The rest if the song continues from that theme.

@AprilQween

You get a thumbs-up, because I heard this story somewhere else too.

It was breaking George's heart that the drummer wouldn't 'come around' and become openly gay, which sadly for George, wasn't the case. I'm happy to be wrong, but this makes it twice I've read this now.

@AprilQween yes he was in a relationship with Jon Moss who wasn't gay, he was deeply in love with him.
