"I really liked those lyrics when all I had to do was identify with the singer over his quandary over which of two people to date."
So did I and I still like the words just as much because nothing is changed. I suspect you feel the same.
I was just wanting a day on FR where I could avoid serious discussion. Not wanting to make a big deal out of such a sweet, simple lyric.
Most days I'm quite happy to look for the hidden or broader applications.
Yes, I still love the song and the lyrics with their simple, direct meaning. I really enjoyed The Lovin' Spoonful's music.
