Presented as intimate acoustical break, Mick would leave his drum set and join the band on stage with Christine front and center with small keyboard.
The rest of the band would be sitting on stools gathered around her; Lindsey with his acoustic guitar, John with his bass, Mick with his bongos, Stevie with her tambourine (and the little chime that strikes after the short instrumental part). A modified arrangement would give the song more legs: the instrumental passage would be extended along with the closing vocal interplay.
I disagree, there is plenty of substance. It is beautifully simple, yet full of ear candy.
