Cover art for If You Can't Love Me lyrics by Sting

A song about the desperation one feels at the height of an affair when a decision needs to be made about whether or not to continue it when one is already in a long term relationship.. Since it was co-written I expect it is a mode all three men may have identified with, as musicians on the road are notorious for fly by night encounters. Perhaps one or two of those instances meant something important to them. One cannot help but empathize for both parties as emotions can be very overwhelming..
