          Idk but my headcannon is that they won’t eat pussy

          Looked it up:

          Speaking about the meaning of the lyrics, John Oates has stated that while many listeners may assume the lyrics are about a relationship, in reality, the song, “is about the music business. That song is really about not being pushed around by big labels, managers, and agents and being told what to do, and being true to yourself creatively.” This was done intentionally, he explained, to universalize the topic of the song into something everyone could relate to and ascribe personal meaning to in their own way. Naming “Maneater” as another example, he revealed that this was a common characteristic of the group’s songs.

    • the ploy is to bait out what the one thing they want is and then claim that it’s the one exception so you don’t have to do anything

      non-shitpost answer

      It’s in the song, he will do anything for love except leave her.
