| I absolutely love this song. It's just beyond amazing. It's so uplifting, just talking about two ordinary people and how their love for each other allows them to rise above the people that mistreat them. | |

| I agree with Lester, I think this song is about the man's grilfriend who is a stripper, and she dances for the white men in black suits, probably business men. "I still see those scary guys when I am all alone at night I kiss the ring you gave me then I swing with all my might I think it's getting better for the two of us I think it's getting easier for you and me to agree That the white men in black suits, they are diminishing" the scary guys are the men whom the woman he loves dances for, they diminish his hopes that shes the only man for him, yet things are getting better because they provide her with money to support themselves?? well that's my take on it anyway | |

| "I think it's getting better in the worst way" Not that hard to understand. Basically, things are just getting better for the bad guys. "I really hope they go away I really hope they find a nice place, I hope they find it somewhere I hope they go away " If I remember correctly, the music during this part never ceases to give me an eargasm :). | |
