virginity

"In keeping with a storied tradition of rock songs, these lyrics equate love with the surrendering of a women's virtue."

Besides the antiquated vocabulary here, the sexist idea expressed finds no support in the lyrics, nor in Springsteen's autobiography. In fact "prove it all night" certainly suggests sexual experience and not the lack of it, and if one wanted to "equate" love with something based on the song, it would be with having sex all night long, likely every night.

Furthermore the statement is not supported by any outside source.

If there is no reasoned objection, I'll simply remove the statement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.224.103.123 (talk) 06:34, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

You are right, it’s a ridiculous line and I am going to remove it 9 years after your comment. 73.219.103.208 (talk)burgo 73.219.103.208 (talk) 05:05, 27 March 2023 (UTC)

humor

"The protagonist promises to prove his love all night, a vow that can be seen as either opportunistic or youthfully optimistic, depending on one's point of view."

Making love all night is not at all unknown. Furthermore I see no intended hint of humor in the lyrics.

The author of this sentence seems to be dealing with his own problems, and not the song.

Furthermore there is no support for these ideas from an outside source.

What do you all think? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.224.103.123 (talk) 06:38, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
