    As a guy this song speaks deeply to me. Don't ever use a woman selfishly.. thinking you're Gods gift to her. If that's the way one thinks.. then they shouldn't be in a relationship...that is not love. True love is serving the other with a deep appreciation that they are yours.

    The “treat me right, you don’t have to worry” flew right over my head the first time. But now I get it. If you treat your partner right, you don’t have to worry or be possessive because your partner knows you treat them right so there is no worry of cheating.

Now at 26yrs old I still love this song & after my 5yr toxic relationship with my children’s father has ended I clearly understand every lyric & that “living under your spotlight” line is ever so accurate & relevant to me right now.

    [Verse 1]
    Are you a man who loves and cherishes and cares for me?
    (Is that you? Is that you? Is that you?)
    Are you a guard in a prison, maximum security?
    (Is that you? Is that you? Is that you?)
    Do we stay home all the time because you want me to yourself?
    (Is that you? Is that you? Is that you?)
    Or am I locked away, out of fear that I'll find someone else?
    (Is that you? Is that you? Yeah)
    [Chorus]
    Well, I don't like
    Living under your spotlight
    Just because you think I might
    Find somebody worthy (Worthy)
    No, I don't like
    Living under your spotlight
    Maybe if you treat me right
    You won't have to worry
    [Verse 2]
    Is this a relationship fulfilling your needs as well as mine?
    (Is that you? Is that you? Is that you?)
    Or is this just my sentence? Am I doing time?
    (Is that you? Is that you? Is that you?)
    Oh, if this love, real real love, then I'm staying, no doubt
    (Is that you? Is that you? Is that you?)
    But if I'm just love's prisoner, then I'm bustin' out
    (Is that you? Is that you? Yeah)
    [Chorus]
    Oh, baby, I don't like
    Living under your spotlight (Spotlight)
    Just because you think I might (Just because you think I might)
    Find somebody worthy (Find somebody worthy)
    No, I don't like (I don't like)
    Living under your spotlight (Living under your, under your)
    Maybe if you treat me right (Treat me right)
    You won't have to worry (You won't have to worry, no, no)
    [Bridge]
    Oh, you oughta be
    Ashamed of yourself
    What the hell do you think you're doing
    Lovin' me, lovin' me?
    So wrong
    Baby, all I do is try (Try)
    To show you that you're my (My)
    One and only guy (My guy)
    No matter who may come along
    Open your eyes, 'cause baby, I don't like
    [Chorus]
    Hey, 'cause I don't like
    Living under your spotlight (Oh no)
    Just because you think I might
    Find somebody worthy (Find somebody worthy)
    No, I don't like
    Living under your spotlight (Living under your spotlight)
    Maybe if you treat me right (Treat me right, yeah)
    You won't have to worry (You don't ever have to worry)
