Cover art for Earn My Affections lyrics by Amel Larrieux

The woman wants the man to make an effort to romance her, but he isn't really playing the game- he is half-assing it and not really making her feel special, but more like an afterthought. She rightly expects him to "earn her affections" before she will go to bed with him ("get this show on the road"). For self-respecting women, there are certain hoops a man must jump through in order to make her feel like he's worth it, and and that is done by making her feel that SHE is worth it.
