It was the album's first single.
The words
The singer asks a woman what she is doing in a world of corrupt and dangerous men.
The singer meets a woman in a dim, unwelcoming place run by men who are absent or not to be trusted, and asks why someone like her is there at all. He offers observations about power, ambition and the roles people are pushed into, mixing admiration with something close to condescension. The tone is gentle and wry, a quiet conversation more than a story. It was the album's first single, built on a slow, easy groove.
