Lyrics meaning
The singer is caught in a strong, restless attachment to someone he remembers vividly. At first, the lyrics recall an intense meeting and desire; later, the singer is alone in a hotel, wishing for a phone call. The feeling shifts from excitement and passion to loneliness, but the longing remains.
The โback seatโ and โback streetโ suggest a private, perhaps secretive encounter, though the lyrics do not explain the circumstances. โHotel bluesโ is an informal way of describing the sadness or boredom of being alone in a hotel. Calling the love โcrazyโ suggests that it feels overwhelming or hard to control, rather than calm and settled.
The singer says he loves this person but also describes her as โtoo bad to change.โ This could mean he sees her as wild, difficult, or unwilling to change her ways; the exact meaning is left open. His affection does not erase his frustration, and he seems aware that the relationship may be troublesome. The repeated refrain captures how he keeps returning to the same intense feeling, even while waiting alone.
