partner, or love of your career ? ...
Mr and Mrs Smith are a couple in love, who seem to co-operate well with each other, even though they are each keeping a massive secret from the other.

# "Respect" - Aretha Franklin recorded the definitive version, but it's definitely worth hearing the Otis original.
# "Love man" - It might sound like a macho boast but I'm not so sure. When Otis stammers "cau cau cau cause I'm a love man" it sounds more like a man who ...
