This was written for Stevie Nicks to sing, but she turned it down, saying that it wasn't a woman's song. So TP recorded it himself, and that made it a song about a man whose lover has left him for someone richer.
He calls himself an insider because he (now) understands all the planning and scheming she did, and that she never really loved him as she said she did. That's why he's 'the one who oughta know'. He's now sadder and wiser - but she left him with nothing and he doesn't seem to know what to do next.
@treefrogdemon Sorry, but that’s not quite correct. Tom did write this song for Stevie but Tom liked it too much to give away to her. Instead, he wrote “Stop Dragging My Heart Around” & gave that to her instead.
