In the first stanza he goes to a bar, and just lets what happen happens (What this night wants its what it gets). They go outside to smoke (Lit by cigarettes) and he tries to convince himself that its enough to just kiss her (Tonight was wild enough to order up and toss across my lips). They continue talking and she ends up spending the night with him - they have sex (she spends the night and I can hear her sighing). But when its over and she tries to roll over and go to sleep he asks about her husband - its a desperate move but he wants her to tell him that he treats her horribly and that what he did wasn't really that big of a deal.
The second stanza she tells him that she plays the roll of the perfect housewife very well (I smile polite,and I tip and tithe,and I see the sights with a well-trained eye) but she's faking it because when she isn't with him she gets to be herself (I'm too much mine without him). She tells him that she loves her husband and that he takes care of her - she's (losing time without him) meaning that she isn't doing anything productive alone. Theres conflict between how she feels because she isn't sure if she loves him or loves the lifestyle - she feels like the relationship is destroying the part of her that is truly her.
