Lyric discussion by virgokennewick 

I read these lyrics to my husband, who is a song writer and he immediately said " the guy is married and doesn't want anyone to find out about the other girl or he just wants to play around and not get deeply involved" Makes sense to me. I didn't hear any abuse until the other readers suggested it, just the fact that he was keeping her a secret from others.

@virgokennewick right on!

@virgokennewick That was exactly my thoughts too. He's two-timing someone, or she's underage.., something along those lines.., he's definitely not interested in showing her off.

@virgokennewick The abuse comes from the music video rather than the lyrics themselves. The video was a huge hit at the time; it's considered one of the best music videos of that era. The song was also written about two women - the producers didn't like it and it was changed prior to release.
