Maybe the reason for the lack of comments is that there's really nothing more than can be said about this, besides the song itself. Both the meaning and sentiment are clear.
What i find most appealing about this song is what you mentioned about the brutality and lovingness of it. I think it reflects how a lot of relationships can be where there is a lot of passion and a strong bond.
I think this is captured most beautifull in the lines "But 'til then no, Daddy, don't be surprised
If I wanna see the tears in your eyes". The fact that rufus says such a cruel thing, and then directs it towards his father using a term that is usually connected with adoration and love is gorgeous.
I agree entirely with what you have said.
