The lyrics are clear. It is specifically about someone I know, but generally specific to keystones of women.
I'm not sure from where the misconception comes that assumes the line "...but she's always a woman to me." contradicts any of the earlier statements. I would venture to guess that it is something you are bringing to the equation. Such as the statement "A mother's love." If you all assume that the subject of this is your own mother (granted that she was loving towards you) rather than Joan Crawford or
Andrea Yates then of course you will see it as a love song. I believe that the song is meant only to say she does all of these things and none of these things contradict my image of how a woman is - in other words any female who behaves in these ways is always a woman to me. Blame yourself then clearly means you knew she was a woman when you started loving her, so why then would you expect her to behave like anything other than a woman? Do you also get angry when mosquitos bite you? Isn't that what mosquitos do? They're always mosquitos to me.
