This is pretty straightforward: He has expressed his love for her, likely in word and deed, but even so she feigns doubt and seeks to have him jump through hoops for her. She is also quick to bring up the past but always has an excuse for any of her past behavior. And finally, I think the most important line in the song is, "I know that you want more". There was a spark when they met. They quickly became friends, then spent most of their free time with each other, soon they became intimate, and then she said something like, 'I don't want just a friend with befits, I want more". So now he's wrestling with the dreaded, "You're perfect, now change." So the song seeks to illustrate and illuminate the age old traditional double standard and one way street that is men often must fight for her love. Truth is, we will, we'll fight long and hard, and do most anything, but we don't want to fight her for love.
