This is about a ménage à trois, otherwise known as a three-way (we heard). Byrds guitarist/vocalist David Crosby wrote the song, but when The Byrds rejected it, he gave it to Jefferson Airplane. Crosby states in interviews that this is not merely "about" three-way relationships, but that the song "happened, several times." Crosby was involved for some time in the late 1990s-early 2000s with both Melissa Etheridge and her partner, Julie Cypher, and was the biological father of their two children.
David Crosby performed a solo acoustic version of this song in 1970-71 tours with Stills, Nash and Young. It appears on the double live album Four Way Street.
In the UK, this was released as the B-side to "If You Feel Like China Breaking." It wasn't released as a single in the US.
