I think this is about someone in the singer's life that is very concerned about her and her self-destructiveness. "you knocked me out, bit my lip, held me down and kept me sober"... the singer resents the person's interference, but at the same time she does love her and is afraid to be left alone to her own destructiveness.
on the other hand, i can see another way of interpreting this too. maybe she is in an abusive relationship but loves the person too much to leave. (I can take the fight, but don't take it away)

Linda Perry sang this with Grace Slick so I think you are dead on about your first comment.
