This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Hey, come here for a second
I don't like the way he treats you
He doesn't deserve you
He really don't
What kind of man
Would leave you standing in the cold?
Must've been a silly one
To sacrifice a pot of gold
You're the kind of woman
That needs a man that's always there
It's not that you require a lot
Just need some tender love and care, care
I give good love
I'll buy your clothes
I'll cook your dinner too (yeah)
Soon as I get home from work
I'll pay your rent
Your faithful lover (ooh baby)
Soon as I get home
Soon as I get home from work
Girl, I'll treat you right
And I'll never lie
For all that it's worth
I give good love
(Good love, good love, good love, girl)
It doesn't make sense
That you should have a broken heart
If I were the only one
I'd never let you fall apart
You're the kind of woman
That needs a man with lots of cash
With a stack of major credit cards
And with me you don't have to ask
I give good love
I'll buy your clothes
I'll cook your dinner too (ooh baby)
Soon as I get home from work
I'll pay your rent
Your faithful lover
(Soon as) Soon as I get home
Soon as I get home from work
Girl, I'll treat you right
And I'll never lie or flirt
(Girl I'l never, never, never mess around, no)
Soon as I get home
Soon as I get home from work
(I'm coming straight home to you, baby)
Girl I'll be around, never let you down
For all that it's worth
I give good love
(Good love, good love, good love, good love)
Oh, I give good love
(Good love, good love, good love, good love)
(I give good love) I give good love (yes)
I'll buy your clothes
I'll cook your dinner too (yeah)
Soon as I get home from work
I'll pay your rent
Your faithful lover
Soon as I get home
Soon as I get home from work
Girl, I'll treat you right
And I'll never lie or flirt
(I will never, never, never, never mess around, baby)
Soon as I get home
Soon as I get home from work
(I'm coming straight home to you baby yes I am)
Girl I'll be around, never let you down
For all that it's worth
I give good love
(Good love, good love, good love, good love)
I give good love
(Good love, good love, good love, good love)
(Good love, good love, good love, good love)
