Lyrics ↗What the lyrics are about
The song addresses Joel's brief romantic relationship with a model that began around 1983 and lasted only a short time, possibly extending into the mid-1980s. This relationship occurred as Joel was separating from his first marriage and before he became involved with another model who would become his second wife.
