"Don't You Want Me?" by the Human League

Questions:
1. What is the subject matter?
2. What is the difference in the two sides of the story?
3. With whom do you side and why?

Answers:
1.  The story is about a man who helped a woman reach success in her life.  Now that she's on top, he wants to be with her, but she doesn't want him.
2.  The man says, "Don't forget, it's me who put you where you are now," trying to remind the girl that without him, she wouldn't be on top.  He thinks he deserves her.  She, however, thinks that, "it's time I lived my life on my own," because she has moved on.  She also believes that, "I knew I'd find a much better place, either with or without you."
3.  I side with the man because the girl wouldn't be where she is without him.  He deserves her, and she completely overlooks him.  She doesn't appreciate the fact that he put her on top.  He says, "I picked you out, I shook you up, and turned you around, turned you into someone new."  She shouldn't leave him when he did so much for her.
