Matthew Henry put it this way, "Eve was made by God not out of Adam's head to rule over him, nor out of his feet to be trampled upon by him, but out of his side to be equal with him, from under his arm to be protected and from near his heart to be loved."
Side by Side

V1
This is a "true love story"
About Adam and Eve,
Who met before the Fall
In the Garden of Eden,
V2
Adam was the only one
Of his kind in the world,
When God took one of his ribs
Made him the perfect girl,
Chorus
Side by side they lived
In [special] harmony,
Sharing their brand new love
So happy and so free,
Side by side they [stayed]
Beneath [pristine] skies,
Living for each other
In the midst of paradise,
V3
Oh how Adam found Eve
Under a warm honeymoon,
They danced the jitterbug
In the green forest room,
V4
Back in their starlit cove
They dined on exotic food,
Ended up on their riverbed
Unaware they were nude,
Chorus
Bridge
If ever a marriage
Was made in Heaven,
There's surely was, God said
"The two shall become one"
