I 'rediscovered' this song as my new pickup truck came with a year's subscription to Sirius Radio, and 'Classic Rewind' plays this about 1x per day...
The song's about the haunting memory/guilt of a breakup, the girl wants the singer back, and he's feeling guilt about how he's left her. She isn't actually stalking him, and the words of the song, taken slightly out of context would indicate he's a controlling/domineering type ("Don't you play Good Girl with me").
Instead, it's his own guilt. "I don't want you on the phone" is his recall of her, not an actual phone call. The whole kicker to the song is that the new girl is a lot like the old one... trying to replace her and restore the memory.
I have to say I love the sneer on the word 'me' in that "Don't you play Good Girl with ME' :)
Just a catchy tune that exemplified early 80's popular rock (and Canadian Hair Bands).
No comments for this gem of the 80's?
