I think this song might be about a teenage daughter. "Even though shes only causing me pain, Ill be on my feet to find her." and later "Ill be on my knees to feed her" Teenagers seem to think they don't need their parents but they do. I interpret this song as being a parent singing about their teenage child whom does not think they need their parents but the parent goes after them and reals them in anyhow. -AWB

My Interpretation

Even though I personally think that this is a song about one-sided love, as probably not many parents would say that "I'll never need her" about their daughter, I do see your point and this is a very interesting one indeed.
