Elvis said in an interview about this song, "the sad face of this beautiful girl was somebody he saw in a supermarket and supposed he had a momentary crush on this girl. But in a way the song became a premonition of his ability to be constant (faithful)." Basically, he was talking about being unfaithful to his wife and family. He said "he can acknowledge what happened in the past,but can't go back and change it."
