Lyrics
Take me to heart and I'll always love you
Expressing a commitment to love if taken seriously.
And nobody can make me do wrong
Asserting that no one has the power to lead astray.
Take me for granted, leaving love unsure
Warning against taking love for granted, which weakens commitment.
Makes will power weak and temptation strong
Suggesting that neglect can lead to weakened willpower and increased temptation.
A woman's only human
Affirming the humanity of women, acknowledging imperfections.
You should understand
Encouraging understanding of a woman's nature.
She's not just a plaything
Rejecting the notion that women are mere objects for amusement.
She's flesh and blood just like her man
Emphasizing the humanity of women, likening them to men.
If you want a do-right-all-day woman
Setting expectations for a morally upright woman.
You've got to be a do-right-all-night man
Stating that a man must also be morally upright for a harmonious relationship.
They say that it's a man's world
Addressing societal views about a man's dominance.
Well you can improve that by me
Offering a chance for positive change in the perception of gender roles.
And as long as we're together baby
Emphasizing the importance of mutual respect in the relationship.
Show some respect for me
Requesting respect from the partner in the context of togetherness.
A woman's only human
Reiterating the human aspect of women, reinforcing understanding.
You should understand
Restating the idea that women are not objects but human with feelings.
She's not just a plaything
Rejecting the notion of women as mere toys for entertainment.
She's flesh and blood just like her man
Emphasizing the shared humanity between women and men.
If you want a do-right-all-day woman
Reiterating the expectation of a morally upright woman.
You've got to be a do-right-all-night man
Stating the requirement for a morally upright man for a successful relationship.
