This song has an upbeat tune, but it is hard to choose what lines best express the ambivalent love-hate angst being expressed in the lyrics. It might look encouraging early on when he tells Maggie "But that don't bother me none; in my eyes you're everything.". But as the lyrics further unfold, "everything" seems to include the superbly bad as well as the superbly good. In short, what we have here is a rousing tune about a dysfunctional lover that the singer can't leave, despite the fact that she's made his life a disaster zone if the lyrics can be taken seriously.
