"she spends every day, waiting for the day, when everybody finds out" all those secret affairs that won't make people (wives, girlfriends, whoever) happy.

you get the idea.
Mick is the first thought I had the first time I heard this song especially with the line, "affairs of the heart that start out in the dark, usually stay with the night". However, as with many of Stevie's songs, I think it's about multiple things.
