No idea. I have enough trouble trying to remember that Carly Simon wrote "You're So Vain" about Mick Jagger. Or somebody else.

One of the actors on Full House - she was dating him and he dumped her for another woman... forget his name... but it was about him... songs written about real/personal life situations always are the best it seems!

If you should go skating
On the thin ice of modern life
Dragging behind you the silent reproach
Of a million tear-stained eyes
Don't be surprised when a crack in the ice
Appears under your feet
You slip out of your depth
And out of your mind
With your fears flowing out behind you
As you claw the thin ice

(Pink Floyd - Thin Ice)

In 1964, I think (because I was only 3) that the subject of unmarried people spending the night together was still taboo in popular song. So I love what Dylan did with "wild , blazing nighttime" doesn't leave much doubt as to what went on.

Though we kissed through the wild blazing nighttime
She said she would never forget
But now mornin’s clear
It’s like I ain’t here
She just acts like we never have met

Bob Dylan - I Don't Believe You (You Act Like We Never Met)

Don't want to work away
Doin' just what they all say
"Work hard boy and you'll find
One day you'll have a job like mine"

'Cause I know for sure
Nobody should be that poor
To say yes or sink low
Because you happen to say so
Say so, you say so

I don't want to work away
Doing just what they all say
"Work hard boy and you'll find
One day you'll have a job like mine
Job like mine, a job like mine"

"Be wise, look ahead
Use your eyes", he said
"Be straight, think right
But I might die tonight"
