A Fool For Your Stockings Lyrics

Is it you again outside,
Just banging on the front door?
You say you had enough,
Now you're coming' back for more,
But that's alright.
I said that that's alright.
I may not want to admit it,
I'm just a fool for your stockings I believe.

Now I don't mind when you send money
and bring your girlfriends with you,
But how could one be so thoughtless to try
and handle less than two?
But that's alright.
I said that that's alright, baby.
I may not want to admit it,
I'm just a fool for your stockings I believe.

Now I'm tellin' everybody
It seems too good to be true:
Sweet things can always get sweeter.
I know mine did, how about you?
Yes, it's alright.
I said, yes it is, that's alright.
I may not want to admit it,
I'm just a fool for your stockings I believe.

In the first verse it seems a woman who has dumped this man "You say you had enough ", is coming back to maybe give it a second chance possibly. It's unclear why these two have spilt up, but they have, and instead of turning her down, he just let's her back in. Based of the chorus, it appears his reasoning is that of lust, because why would focus on what one is wearing, and rather who the person is. Despite her deplorable actions, he just wants her too much. I think the second verse goes over the things she used to do, perhaps a insight as to why they might have split up. In the first line of the second verse, this implies that she has some sort of control over his finances, and in the second line, it describes how she brings her friends uninvited. The last two lines of the second verse are a mystery to me, as for what they could be talking about. In the third verse it seems he is in joy, given he is back with this woman, however it gives the impression that she has him manipulated, making him just a fool for her stockings.

Sounds like a fetish.
