Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
I got a car, a J-O-be
I'm an independent man
God is blessing me
A lot of girls that I can call
9 times out of 10 I don't call them at all
The fun and games is overdue
I miss havin' someone to answer to
I got a house, I got a key
There's one more thing that I really need...
[Chorus]
I need a one man woman
And you need a one lady man (I understand)
Girl you don't have to find another
Cause I'll be your man plus your friend
(Well here I am)
Since I need a one man woman
And you need a one lady man (I understand)
Girl we don't have to find another
We can be lovers and friends
(Well here I am)...
I saw you out with all the guys
I love the way you look with those big brown eyes Yeah
And if it were up to me
We'd both run away and start a family
And on a scale from 1 to 10
I'm givin' you 11 boy you're worth that 1
Only you can rescue me
I will provide anything you need...
[Chorus: 2x]
I'm tryin' to prove to you
I think I'm ready for you
Baby don't fight my love
Baby invite my love
Haven't I proved to you
You know I'm ready for you
Baby don't fight my love
Baby invite my love...
[Chorus: x2]
I'm an independent man
God is blessing me
A lot of girls that I can call
9 times out of 10 I don't call them at all
The fun and games is overdue
I miss havin' someone to answer to
I got a house, I got a key
There's one more thing that I really need...
[Chorus]
I need a one man woman
And you need a one lady man (I understand)
Girl you don't have to find another
Cause I'll be your man plus your friend
(Well here I am)
Since I need a one man woman
And you need a one lady man (I understand)
Girl we don't have to find another
We can be lovers and friends
(Well here I am)...
I saw you out with all the guys
I love the way you look with those big brown eyes Yeah
And if it were up to me
We'd both run away and start a family
And on a scale from 1 to 10
I'm givin' you 11 boy you're worth that 1
Only you can rescue me
I will provide anything you need...
[Chorus: 2x]
I'm tryin' to prove to you
I think I'm ready for you
Baby don't fight my love
Baby invite my love
Haven't I proved to you
You know I'm ready for you
Baby don't fight my love
Baby invite my love...
[Chorus: x2]

Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.
