Not really.

It wasn't originally planned for them to follow on from each other, but theme-
wise they work well that way. And they're not actually about the same person
either (Strange Relationship was originally recorded back in 1982, while he
was recording the 1999 album).

I am pretty sure I read that If I Was Your Girlfriend was written about Susannah Melvoin. He wanted the relationship Susannah had with her twin sister Wendy...

Strange Relationship was actually written in like 82? I think. So that one could be about Vanity, Jill Jones, or one of the number of other girls he was bangin at the time.

either way they are 2 of the best songs on SOTTs!
