Alice Cooper wrote this song for his wife. It was a tough time for him after he left the state hospital and his problems with alcoholism and the stress of fame. He and his wife Sheryl met on the road. He was also afraid she wouldn't love the man behind the "Alice" character. As it turned out, those fears were unfounded... They are still happily married after all of these years.
Alice Cooper has managed to hold on to the former Sheryl Goddard for 40 years. The couple were married on March 20, 1976 in Acapulco, Mexico.
I've been married to Sheryl for 35 years and never cheated on her. I am one of the good guys. If you marry the person you're in love with, you would never do anything to hurt her. Honestly, I have seen spectacularly beautiful women and said: "I'm not interested."
The secret is keeping romance in the marriage. Men are microwaves and women are pressure cookers. Sex is the whole thing for men: bang, ready, let's go. Women want romance beforehand, or they feel they're not appreciated. Once in a while, you have to whisk your wife off to a motel for ridiculous sex. You have to keep things surprising. My wife is a ballet teacher so she is very organised. I'm the spontaneous one – she never knows what's coming, except that I'm gonna be home and I'm gonna be sober. After that, there might be a ticket to Jamaica in there.
