This song gives you the feeling that the singer is truly in love with this woman and that he longs for her, regardless of what she can do to him. He perceives the woman as strong and powerful by saying that "she can kill with a smile
, wound with her eyes and ruin your faith". He has seen every aspect of her from one extreme to another and everything in between because he talks about her being "frequently kind", "suddenly cruel", or being "like a child" and "like a thief". The singer has witnessed her through all her extreme behaviors and even perhaps experienced being hurt by her. She may have "promised" him something significant or what he compares is "more than the Garden of Eden" that she cruelly took away and "laughed" while it hurt him. The woman is bold and she "does what she pleases"; but despite her harsh manner, she is still gentle "like a woman" to him.
