The Duke of Earl is Gene Chandler's supervillain alter ego. This song is basically a love song to his lady friend, telling her how lucky she is that she is with him and how happy they will be once he takes over the world.
Evidence supporting the supervillain interpretation:
1) Refers to himself in third person
2) Boasts that "nothing can stop" him, and that no one dares to hurt the object of his affections
3) Strong implication that he intends to turn the entire world into his "dukedom"
If I were you I'd try to hook up with Gene Chandler now. He evidently only intends to spare the life of his lady friend and if you wait much longer, it will be too late.
