I agree with spamuell's interpretation of this song. Its very obvious not only from the lyrics but how she is singing them that she is the one in control. She definetly has this guy bent. The lines "i got you crawling up a mountain hanging round my neck" are saying how hard he is trying like he is crawling up a mountain not climbing a mountain but climbing it and she is wearing him like a chain. Around her neck. As far as the next line : i got you twisted round my finger crawling round my legs"? Hell thats obvious. She has him twisted around her finger and he is like a dog around her legs. This poor guy is so freakin bent for her she can do what she wants with him. Trust me i have been this guy on a few occasions so i recognize it. lol. The rest of the song speaks of how she knows he wants to sleep with her but she knows she is in control and what does a manipulating woman who uses sex do? She doesnt give up that control thats what!! Trust me they never do! I have an 18yr old stepson and i get to see him play the puppy to the fems with the whips and damn if it dont piss me off. Ilaugh sometimes cause i know he has to learn same as i did. But at any rate this song is definetly about a woman who is going to keep this guy dangling for awhile but i think in the end of the song she gives in to him because she is a very sexual woman as the end of the song sings of. She says prove it now or never. i think the rest is speaking of the moment they have sex where she wears something pretty , give me what i crave but she forewarns him. Nothing satisfys her as nothing ever will like controlling someone. Sex is a poor substitute for her since she looses control then. After he gets his he's probobly gone. Just my interpretation
