Song repeats the adage, "Her mouth says no but her eyes say yes." This is a masculine fantasy; the need to dominate another, but also the idea that their prey wants to be dominated. This relates to the East/West relationship, with America and Europe flexing their muscles to protect what they perceive as the weaker countries of the Orient.
