Underneath, this song is speaking about an independent woman, who knows who she is and what she wants. All too often, "independent" has negative con notations but what does it mean, really? Here's a woman who will nourish and care and love, and yet she's ready to fight and argue and breakdown. It's speaking against this stereotypical notion of what a woman should be like (innocent, full of humility, one who suppresses her anger, etc.) opposed to what a woman really is. It takes a real woman to be strong and independent. It's speaking to all the men who want to love us for our bodies rather than our minds, and who want to embrace a woman who will obey everything they say.
Also, someone mentioned about how this song reminded them of PMS. Haha, it's kind of true and I definitely see it this song! But it's also an embodiment of what being a woman - and not only a woman, but a human being with real feelings and all kinds of aspects to their personality - is really like.

It takes a real woman to know her place and be okay with it. PS: connotations is one word.
