The song is about a woman who is an alcoholic.

She exhibits typical alcoholic behavior trying to stash bottles in secret places: Hide it in a hiding place where no one ever goes Put it in your pantry with your cupcakes

Her husband is aware and initially wants to hide her problem and save their reputations: It's a little secret just the Robinsons' affair Most of all you got to hide it from the kids and coo coo cachoo

Later, she is confronted and asked to go to rehab. Laugh about it shout about when you've got to choose Every way you look at it you lose

She checks in to the inpatient facility: We'd like to know a little bit about you for our files We'd like to help you to learn to help yourself Look around you all you see are sympathetic eyes Stroll around the grounds until you feel at home
