In a 1998 interview, she was later to say about the song:\n\n\"My head was in a particular place when I wrote that song which condones extramarital relations, which now I do not at all condone. I was a silly kid back then who had no idea what was going on & I had sex with a married man. How can I stand up there now & sing what purports to be this little romantic ditty about sleeping with somebody else's husband? That makes me crazy. I'm glad I'm saying this publicly because I don't like to preach during my shows. I just like to entertain. Now I sound like an old fart. But I just think extramarital affairs bring sorrow & bad karma. It's just really a bad idea.\"\n\nWatch Phoebe Snow perform \"Poetry Man\" live:\nhttps://youtu.be/7OxTVxGhHFM","location":1,"location_name":"Default","play_type":"trackplay"}
