It seems to me more like a child looking back with blame at their mother. 'I pulled at your dress but you took no notice' seems very much in that vein. I don't know much about Tina. Maybe it's autobiographical, maybe just a story of childhood abandonment. That's how it reads to me. Now she's grown up and 'ffree'.
I think the child looking back with some regret interpretation, lends itself well to this song, but in subsequent live versions, Tina sings, "I pulled at your vest.." instead of 'dress.' This substitution of lyric seems to indicate this song could be about a lover. Tina Dico identifies as bisexual so with that knowledge, the song becomes even more inscrutable.
