I think it's a beautiful song...the "what's a matta baby" does grate on my nerves a bit...but for the most part it is a beautiful song filled with a lot of raw emotion.
Lyrically, yeah...it's not the best Stevie has ever written either, but again, I think she wasn't going for 'drama or effect'...she wasn't going to paint a pretty picture of heartache (like she did with Welcome To The Room...Sara which I LOVE) this was real honest heartbreak and conflict she was dealing with at this time...coked up or not.
