The chorus refers to actress [[Candy Darling]] and her friend Taffy, who the Rolling Stones had previously met at the Hotel Albert in New York City. According to Darling:
{{Quote|We met them in the Hotel Albert. We were on the floor above them and we dangled a bunch of grapes down on a string outside their window. You see, the Citadel is New York and the song is a message to ''us'' – Taffy and me.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Paytress|first1=Mark|title=Rolling Stones: Off the Record|date=2009|publisher=Omnibus Press|location=London|isbn=978-0-85712-113-4}}</ref>}}
