I'm surprised more people don't recognize the difference between this song and most Springsteen songs right off the bat. This song is highly romanticized, not Bruce's style at all. Yet I've heard people take this as a typical sample of his songwriting, which pains me inside because Bruce is about much more than "I Love New Jersey!"
Classic line: "We're gonna tkae that little brat of yours and drop her off at your mom's" Way to tell it like it is!
@suckmykiss yeah, exactly, he's always romanticizing the tough love of working class life and expressing some emotion through it...go in the bathroom and put your make up on...it's infusing femininity (in a very male, please me way) into her tiredness...we're going to go out dancing...I know a little place...I'm going to make life better for you, etc...

Tom Wait's is simply expressing how good it is to be with the girl he loves (and married). Bruce doesn't intend to romanticize but inevitably does...racing cars, family ties, run down towns, drowning in a river, crashing a car he makes operas out of them, sometimes beautiful ones, but romantic none the less.
