I just heard this song for the first time since I was a child (the Helen Reddy version). I didn't remember the lyrics being this sad and crazy. What kind of arrangement is that? You don't love someone, but you'll stay with that person for a year? I thought maybe I'd find more here on this site about how these lyrics came about, but I see there's nothing here.
