Lyric discussion by drgonzzo 

according to the book-- the girl this song is about is Tobi Vail (of Bikini Kill), Kurt's girlfriend for most of the time he wrote Nevermind. Kurt tells Tobi the song is about her and says he won't play it when Courtney is at the concert.

Don't know what book you're referring to, there's like 95 of them, but he's speaking about/to his very first girlfriend, the one on About A Girl. Saying he still smells Courtney (ugh...Love blinds so much) on her saying that yeah he's slept elsewhere and if she can't take it "i can't let you smother me". etc. I forget just now the name of his first girlfriend, he was with her from 89 to sometimes in 91, when this one from Bikini Kill and then Courtney showed up in his life then.
