The song by the Trammps goes to speak on an unfortunate breakup between two people with the story being likened to various things including the topic of the elasticity of a rubber band as well as mending of broken wings of a bird and a list of other various metaphors and similes.

In this situation which there is sorrow there are pockmarks of hope as the singer sings of standing up and though the love has somewhat grown pale it is still there on one side of the broken relationship.

This beautiful song was later sampled by 50 Cent and The Game in the hit song “Hate It or Love It.”
