Yes, but all of this happened long after Mick insisted the song was written for him. I get the feeling Christine is just being polite and going along with his assumption because he wanted so badly for one of those songs on the album to be about him.

The lyrics to the song are very much about a love relationship, a woman struggling with an archetypal "daddy" figure...
