The song is a mid-tempo in shifting meters (4/4 and 11/4 time) about a man who, upon losing his lover to a man named Earl, arrives to take her back. Kershaw said that peers had tried to convince him that audiences would be unable to identify with the song, but later pointed out that "Somebody must have identified with it. In fact, this song singlehandedly sold hundreds of thousands of albums".[2]
