"I Couldn't Have Him" follows Laura, a woman who has long been in love with Ken Stanley but never expressed it because he was engaged to someone else and later married. Years later, when Ken's marriage ends and he reconnects with Laura, she finally confesses her feelings, but Ken reveals he did not know of her love and that they have only ever been good friends. Devastated and believing she cannot have the man she truly loves, Laura initially pushes Ken away, but after a dramatic late-night encounter, the two embrace and discover they are indeed meant for each other. "I Was a Dance Hall Girl" appears on the cover, featuring a man confronting a woman about her past employment and asking the cost of her heart.
