I am not even going to touch what Jon said, because it's a little deeper into the song than I wish to be at the moment. That said, it seems a reasonable and insightful set of interpretations.
I personally just relate to wanting a hard-headed woman. Everyone needs others to a certain point. But, to define yourself by your lover is problematic. I am after a woman who does not define herself by me, but still needs me. Yes, a person like this may, as a corollary, be a bit stubborn, but that's okay. I have no right to call anyone stubborn : )
