Lyric discussion by jenniferfo 

It's a well-established fact that it's about Bernie talking Elton out of getting married. In the song, there appears to be some "talking someone off the ledge ", so to speak. The "damn it! Listen to me good!" line sounds like someone telling another person to "snap out of it." The "sweet freedom" whispered in his ear is being advised to break up with her.
