Okay like if you never knew the meaning of this song i have a theory on what it means. When i was young and stupid my love left to be a rock and roll star. He told me please don't worry. Wise little smile that spoke so safely..

(So the first part is when I young women got pregnant and the guy left her in order for him to follow his dreams.)

He booked a one way ticket Out west that's where they'd make it Six kids stuck in a bedsit To sunswept poolside riches

He met a girl who wore Versace Pink feather coats and jumbo jewellery Gonna be a hoop phenomenon He's gonna be Hakeem Olajuwon

( he went off and followed his dream but while he was over there he met a pretty women and became a huge star as he wanted)

He's got a gold Camaro He said over the payphone I try to keep my cool but My life turns in slow motion

( the girl finds out about being famous and sgoes into a depression
