Hello, A friend and I were discussing the lyrics of "What I Can Do For You," she seems to think that the song is a woman addressing a woman, I think it is a chauvenistic man making subjugating overtures to a woman. I've put the lyrics below to refresh your memories, your input will be appreciated. Thanks. V.

Im so glad youre awake That youre not like the others Cause theyre so straight-laced And no fun Gosh thats nice That lingerie Makes me feel like Oh, I dont know

Youre a very pretty thing You remind me of someone You must have heard Some awful nasty things about me, but

What I can do for you Theres no one else On gods green earth can do What I can do for you Theres no one else On gods green earth can do

Just ask anybody Theyll tell you that its true Theres no one else on earth Can do the things that I can do for you

Youre never gonna make it All by yourself Youre gonna need a friend Youre gonna need my help I have so much to offer If you just be nice If you do what I say And dont make me say it twice

Do you mind if I just Rub my hand up thus Come on just my hand Come on just my hand You got to understand Im gonna be your man Im gonna be your man Youre gonna need me
