Like a cheerleader who’s been with the whole football team. Clara Bow beat her by several decades, and in her case, it actually was with the USC Trojans.

And why would she talk about him “having her” several years ago, and about them being a “pretty pair”?

I think the tip off is “clouds in your coffee.”
Referencing Joni Mitchell and the song ‘Both Sides Now.’

And given the thing Geffen did later in his career he earned it. Probably the biggest jerk in the post 1950s music business.

If the song's about a playboy womanizer after whom all the girls are running, how could it be about Geffen? Isn't he a founding member of the Gay Mafia?
nice picture. (eyeroll)
p.s. he was right to push Joni Mitchell. She's more talented.

None of those lyrics make sense as referring to her gay record label president David Geffen. They do make sense for a former boyfriend.
Jagger ain't it, he sang backup, lol. Kristofferson, Taylor? Nah, too nice.
I agree with Warren Beatty, thinking the song was about him.
To: lady lawyer
Apparently there is some special relationship between record producers and the artists. I guess his ‘leaving’ was going with Joni Mitchell as her producer, as someone else posted. And the ‘pretty pair’ was a good mix in the producer/artist relationship.
