"Don't You Want Me" The Human League

1. The subject matter of the song is a break-up of a couple of five years. The woman says, "The five years we have had have been such good times...But now I think it's time I live my life on my own." This shows that they are separating after five years.
2. The man says that he is the one that gave her a life. "But don't forget it's me who put you where you are now." She says that she is the one who made her success. "But even then I knew I'd find a much better place without you." The man acts as if he has done everything for her and she thinks that she already knew what she was doing before he came along.
3. I side with the girl because I feel like the guy is very controlling and is taking credit for all of her achievements. He says, "But don't forget it's me who put you where you are now and I can put you back down too." This shows that he is very controlling of her and thinks that he did everything for her. This is why I favor the girl.
