During a promotional trip to London, Keith met Tony Hicks of the Hollies, who offered Keith this then-unrecorded song. This was the follow-up to Keith's international smash "98.6," but it wasn't so successful. Keith mused to Mojo magazine June 2008 about the song's relative failure: "I don't know why. It might have been that the Arabic flavor the song had was too much of a stretch."
Will you try to justify the meaning, of the note you sent this evening, to my door your not deceiving me I'd of thought that you'd have known me better, sending round an unsigned letter, facing you would be much better now. Is it just that you can't face the future with me, can't you tell me to my face You just took the cowards way to say good-bye, how would you feel here in my place? If at last I think I'm glad, to rid myself of you I'm sad, to think about the time I let you go Then I turn and walk away, so please don't beg for me to stay, cause I know just what I will say to you Is it just that you can't face the future with me, can't you tell me to my face You just took the cowards way to say good-bye, how would you feel here in my place? Tell me to my face your leaving now Tell me to my face your leaving now.
