This very bitter "love song" (well, addressed to "you," the victim, about "her") doesn't quite work and I think it needed to go in one of two directions that it hints at before getting subsumed in "jazz." Either make it nasty hard rock, maybe even early metal, like Aerosmith, or sassy disco, like Patti LaBelle's "Lady Marmalade."
