Best part about this song, is that while he's begging for this person to comfort him, begging for an emotional connection, he's also so fucked up at this point that he's threatening their life if they don't comply. Now what kind of love is that? The love of a very screwed up, battered soul, which is what Black Flag communicated better than anyone in the history of music---and usually not even by lyrics (one note from Greg Ginn's guitar communicates more despair than a thousand verses ever could).
