Be My Number Two Lyrics

Why not stick to what Joe Jackson saisd about it himself? "I would say it's a bit world-weary or, not world-weary, but a bit, how else to express this? Once bitten, twice shy. It's saying, "Well, let's try again, but it's not going to be like it was the first time." So it's poignant, I think."

@WalterBuentman I interpret it as a new relationship and he is not over the first, not sure if I would want to go there myself.
