It implies that when things go wrong, it's OK to be an asshole. I lived with someone like that. It's not OK.

Reading that relationship into the song, it's more of an apology. But it's never okay to be an asshole

My wife & I advanced to the next round of a disco contest with this song.
Then, in the big event, there were obviously pro dancers. We got smoked!
This is the radio version. (I think the version we danced to was way longer than 3 minutes.

...I hear flamenco!
We were good dancers, but not at the level of those people at the finals up in Chicago.
We knew we weren't even going to place, & the first 5 places paid put.
We actually did very well, using Donna Summers' Last Dance as our song. But, all the lifts & twirls the pros were doing was over our head. We had no chance.
