He is probably making jest at women (and men?) who gaslight like that.
Still can be hot though (also context of song)

I interpret it like this- “talk to me woman” means that he wants her to be straight with him, whereas “I don’t wanna hear it” means he can’t stand her bs anymore, and instead expects her real self, which will lead to true intimacy.

I'm pretty sure that's 99% exactly how Michael meant it, but every time "I" hear it...?
Talk to me woman! = Talk dirty to me. 😜
I don't want to hear it! = Time for some action. 🥵
But then again, I apparently have Give In To Me psychosis as diagnosed by my streaming stats. So, IDK. 🤷🏽♀️

We should’ve had more Rock with MJ’s voice, this song is on my repeat for a reason 💕

Yeah. It's called filling in the gaps. Otherwise songs would be 30 minutes long of detailed words. lol

Great song one of my top MJ 5 songs but without slash this wouldn’t have been what it is. Slash is a nasty guitar player.

I assume the lyrics are either a back and forth between the man and woman, or the opposing lines are the man mocking her predicting her response.
