There was a Beatles song with the words:

Oh darling, if you leave me, I'll never make it alone.
Believe me when I tell you, I'll never do you no harm...

and more in that vein.

The song makes my blood run cold now. It was the voice of someone so helpless, so demanding, so abject...

Ladies, if you know any men like that, run, do not walk to the nearest exit!
