Earlier, I stated I thought it was told from the man's point of view, and concerning things he wished he had told her. Now, I can also see the video as if being told by the woman from her point of view (same reason). Does anyone else see it as being specifically from the man's or the woman's point of view? I'm just not good at deciphering things like that. Also- as to the first few lines of the song: "Pray God you can cope I stand outside this woman's work This woman's world Ooh, it's hard on the man Now his part is over Now starts the craft of the father" When I consider these lines as one segment by themselves, sometimes I get the feeling that she's talking about childbirth. Does anyone else see this? Or is it just me? (Sometimes I think I don't understand any of it...) even if you spelled it out for me it might take some explaining before I'd understand it completely! judi
