I agree with Jarry but want to add a few things. Its obvious this guy knows everything about her including all of her imperfections and mood swings. Even in Nicki's moments of anger, temper tantrums (ex: throwing dishes) or breakdowns, he can see through it all. In this song Nicki sounds a wee bit frustrated by this, but ultimately shes saying she appreciates how well he know her.
Speaking from a girls standpoint, I will agree, this is freaking maddening! While it may be rare and special to find someone who is so in tune to you, it really makes you vulnerable and exposed to your partner. In relationships like this, you will never have 'control' in arguments or tantrums. But imho, couples who are truly in love wouldn't want or need to have the power of manipulation on their partner. I can see how having a relationship like this would make One hesitant, especially when you've always used these 'antics' as means of personal protection and security. I suppose when Love is true you can see through all the BS and dont need these games.
It seems that Nicki at first 'tried to fight it, back with defiance,' (her defense mechanism, possibly) but he ended up 'captur[ing] her soul.' And even though she doesn't have the upper-hand she is grateful for him, and that 'looking back it made me greater.' Makes a boat-load of sense to me! ;)
