All these meanings posted on this page make a lot of sense, and I agree that battered girlfriend prespective is probably it, but does it confuse anybody else that we left out the most obvious explanation? First time I heard this, I thought maybe he was singing as a guy about a guy. If it weren't for the line "does it make you feel more like a man" would we just have assumed that he was writing, as himself, about a girl. As soon as another man is mentoned, we bend over backwards to find explanations that keep the song straight. Not that I'm calling all of you bigots or anything - you're probably not - it's just a thought.
