The most amazing thing about this song to me is the fact that it came out when I was fifteen, and didn't actually listen to it or know the lyrics until a month ago when I tripped over it on Reddit! I've been seeing a woman that has turned out to be the one, after a lifetime of looking, and these lyrics just fit us perfectly! When, in your "older" age things seem to get a little materialistic, the words "I have no more than I did before, but now I have all that I need" strike home, and say it all. Thank you Michael Nesmith! And, I know that little wink at the end was acknowledgement of me and Andrea!
