In 1978, Dr. Hook (which was the name of the BAND) released what would be their biggest hit worldwide and one of their biggest in the United States. Their look really gave away their easy listening/country crossover song, but for this single, penned by Even Stevens, the traditional sound gave way to one that was a little more disco-tinged.
The song sounds like it's sweet - and in some ways, it is - but it's really about jealousy. It's about the lingering self-doubt that comes with dating someone who is better looking than you.
