Lyrics

The song was about Van's first ever girlfriend, named Abby, whom the song is written for. McCann said he wrote the song when he was about 16. He described the relationship between him and Abby as one that didn't work out, although they remained friends and Van also stated in an interview that he wrote the song to try and get her back, but she did not like it. Then when it got on the radio she was flattered by it and wanted to get back together with him, but Van refused.
