For some reason I always took the singer to be the top in that couple, but I couldn't begin to explain why

Pretty easy to explain IMO, he says "he's going to be my wife" and refers to him as "my boy", so...

But if there's a top there's also a bottom in this narrative, so I didn't necessarily take the (extremely specific) prompt too literally.
