He probably thinks this song is about him.
Carly Simon seemingly shaded her estranged ex-husband James Taylor in a biting new song from her first album of original songs in 18 years, Page Six can exclusively reveal.
“Comes in Waves” — Simon’s highly anticipated 24th studio album that drops Friday — features “Maybe I Never Loved You” as its second track.

“Maybe I never loved you / But anyway, I thought I did,” Simon sings. “I married you, we had a kid / That counts for something.”
The tune takes an emotional turn when she questions her feelings for an ex, whom she never identifies by name.
“Maybe I never loved you / Yes, and maybe I did,” she sings. “And maybe you never loved me / Although God knows, you said you did.”
From there, Simon seems to point out all the times her former partner was actually there for her.
“You came for me those times I hid / I’m so glad you did that,” she continues singing on the track. “And maybe it’s wrong to wonder how everything kind became forbidden.”
Simon questions again whether or not her ex ever loved her before confessing her desire to move forward.
