Dans cette chanson, une jeune femme raconte sa déception amoureuse face à son amie Barbara, qui lui a pris son petit ami, Jimmy. Au début, elle avait des doutes sur lui, mais elle n'a pas voulu croire que Barbara avait de mauvaises intentions. Finalement, c'est elle qui se retrouve à pleurer chez elle pendant que son amitié se fissure à cause de cette trahison. Le texte révèle une dynamique de compétition entre amies, soulignant que parfois, ceux qu’on considère proches peuvent agir contre nous. L’histoire se déroule dans un contexte typique des années 60, où les relations amicales et amoureuses sont souvent compliquées et pleines de rebondissements. C'est une période où l'expression des émotions à travers la musique est particulièrement forte, et où les drames sentimentaux trouvent une place importante dans la culture populaire.
