  General Comment:I think the title "Man" is referring to the human race. I doubt it's about any one specific man. Well, maybe there was someone in mind when it was written, but it's not about him.

  General Comment:I think he might be kind of a destructive force in her life because she says "I got a man who makes the devil pale" meaning he's worse than the devil but she still likes him and the danger and excitement he provides.

  General Comment:I cannot tell you how relieved I was when she didn't say "I got a man he makes me want to die, I got a man he makes me want to cry". Using die and cry together is SO overused and I would have been disappointed beyond words if they had used it in this song.
