I was busting it in the gym this morning and what came on but "Easy Lover," the duet between the recently-solo Phil Collins and Earth Wind and Fire vocalist Philip Bailey.
(This version seems sped up somehow from other versions...normally that bothers me but it makes it jumpier so whatever.)
Aside from being a well-constructed song musically, the lyrics struck me as a rhymed-up version of a newbie forum thread:
The rest is variations on the verse, but clearly the second-person subject is involved with a deceptive, non-bonding ratchet woman. Funny how well the song expresses not just the futility of trying to make it work, but also the futility of trying to tell a friend to DTB.

Easy lover
She'll get a hold on you believe it
Like no other
Before you know it you'll be on your knees
She's an easy lover
She'll take your heart but you won't feel it
She's like no other
And I'm just trying to make you see
[Verse 1: Bailey]
She's the kind of girl you dream of
Dream of keeping hold of
You'd better forget it
You'll never get it
She will play around and leave you
Leave you and deceive you
Better forget it
Oh you'll regret it
[Bridge: Collins]
No you'll never change her, so leave it, leave it
Get out quick cause seeing is believing
It's the only way
You'll ever know, oh
