this song was written by Sharon Seeley, a close friend of Ricky Nelson - she had
written it about an affair she had with one of the Everly Bros, who was married at
the time - she gave it to Ricky to use, of course after he changed the gender of
the lyrics - pretty simple stuff: the singer had played the game a few times and
got away with it; this time, the singer got played
on a separate note, Sharon had been the fiance of Eddie Cochran, rock singer
and Ricky's best friend who had been killed in a car accident
