A typical old song that is rather quite disturbing. The man is mean to his woman and treats her lousy in other ways (drinking; adultry; etc) yet she wants him to return to her. She practically begs him as she promises to be the wife he would love (in essence, she thinks she can change him if she treats him better, which of course is silly). I hate the old songs like this one where "love" and lust are confused. He doesn't love her if she's in the arms of another. Love doesn't make people treat others like crap. She thinks she'll 'lose (her) mind" if he doesn't return to her. Pathetic song, but Nina had a way of making even these types of tunes sound decent.
