This song always kind of confused me... because it seems to be about him saying that he wants love without the emotional part of it when he says "I want love, won't break me down, won't brick me up, won't fence me in. I want a love, that don't mean a thing" and in other parts of the song he talks about how he been hurt before and how he's been "shot full of holes", but then later in the song he says "So bring it on, I've been bruised. Don't give me love, that's clean and smooth. I'm ready for the rougher stuff, No sweet romance, I've had enough."... It seems to be a contradiction.
