I've always thought this song to be telling a story of an unhappy relationship from the perspective of the person who isn't necessarily unhappy. To me, it sounds like Shirley is saying she's in this relationship and though she's arguably happy, she knows that whoever she is with is not...but she always knows that her partner can never leave her. Even if the partner WERE to leave her, they'd never be happy. Sounds like she is definitely the instigator of most of the problems, knows it, and doesn't care.
Basically she's acknowledging that she's got someone wrapped around her finger.
AWESOME B-Side. Can't believe it didn't make it to BLM.
