What's wrong with a someone simply feeling jilted and seeking an outlet by singing about? Seems logical After all, it has happened to many. After all, she indicated that she reveal the name for money for charity.

Trying to speculate on all types of meaning on a simple message is a bit much.I havent seen much evidence that Ms Simon was that "deep" in other songs. An example, "I haven't got time for the pain" , Message,She wanted to move on period. Is there need to speculate if she is sending a broad message for future man in this?

Reminds me of Bob Dylan. Many people spending too much time determining the underlying meaning to his songs. He later says something like, "Hey the message was simple, much like I sang in the song".
