It's written from the perspective of a communist party and the "woman" is actually the proletarian masses. There are obviously many references to a literal revolution. Roll with the changes, tables turning, etc.

So if you're tired of the same old story

Oh, turn some pages

I'll be here when you are ready

To roll with the changes

Yeah, yeah, whoo

This is advising the masses to read theory, and once the status quo has become unbearable the party will be there to guide the masses to revolution.

I knew it had to happen, felt the tables turnin'

Got me through my darkest hour

I heard the thunder clappin', felt the desert burnin'

Until you poured on me like a sweet sun shower

This stanza references the party's knowledge that the revolution is made inevitable by the internal contradictions of capitalism. It also emphasizes the dialectical relation between the party and the masses, making it clear that they are shaped by each other and both need each other to make a revolution.
