Written by Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart, this was a rather dark breakup song from the Monkees and was the B-side of "Pleasant Valley Sunday." Notice how the lead vocals trade off between Micky and Peter. Apparently this caused another fight between the band and the suits at their label. The suits wanted more bubblegum tunes; the group wanted to record more mature songs. The label eventually won out, because once the band stopped doing teenybopper stuff, their popularity waned.
