Not talking about double entendres but ones that have the whole being misunderstood. My prime candidate is "How Long (Has This Been Going On)" by Ace. It's not a romantic break-up song though it works well as one--it's about a band-member being poached:

I like it a lot so I'm posting it twice, one from '77, one more contemporary though both by the author.

Isn't most of the best songwriting a bit cryptic, somewhat allegorical? Dylan natch was the past master at it but Paul Simon had his moments. Not for nothing (I just like the pix).:
