I thought for the longest time that it was a song about a secretive partner, but it's actually written about Ace bassist Terry Comer, who was working with other bands around the time the song was penned. The lyric line "to break up our singing this way" has been interpreted in other parts as "to break up our scene this way", and also "to break up our scene in this way". A YouTube video confirms that it is indeed "scene in this way"...that is, if the group didn't alter the lyrics for that live performance...:-)
