Great song by Bill Withers. As Bill suggests, guys are always acting all tough when their girlfriends take a hike-
"I'm glad the old jive broad split, man"but give a man a guitar, and next thing you know he's singing about the woman he loves,

or the woman that left,

or the beautiful rich woman that he knows he doesn't stand a chance to wed,
but he just wants to let her know how beautiful she is
