It’s actually a really creepy song. Hate giving leftists ammunition for canceling songs, but that one is super super creepy and date rapey. Like seriously, the song ends with suggestions she’ll get pneumonia and die if she doesn’t stay and engage in poor life choices with him. What guy says things like that?

The songwriter wrote this one for he and his wife to sing together for their house guests at holiday parties - if the lyrics sound somewhat scandalous, it's because the song was intended for a group of adults who understood the lyrics to be exaggerated and a bit risque. I'm not sure how it went "public", but it's certainly not the only song that was intended for limited playing to go mainstream.

I'm a big fan of paying attention to the author's original intent and can totally accept that's what the author intended. OTOH, imagine your daughter being in this situation with a creepy scumbag who won't take no for an answer or be concerned at all about her interests. I can only suspect that if this song was written today that it would end with roofies in her drink.
