The lyrics make reference to a hippie couple who do not fit into the larger society to which they belong, but who are still happy because they have each other. The song has been covered by Patty Pravo with italian text as Ragazzo triste (sad boy).
Billboard described the song as an "exciting rhythm ballad with offbeat message lyric."[3]
