Maybe I'm reading too much into this album, but it seems that Greg Brown was dating a dark-skinned woman at the time.
In "I Slept All Night By My Lover," he mentions touching her dark hand.
In "Who Do You Think You're Fooling," he sings:
Ain't gonna blow it up, ain't gonna mess it up
There ain't no little babies gonna be born have a real hard time for the color of their skin
Where they were born, why they were born
Ain't gonna blow it up, ain't gonna mess it up
