All the gold and the guns in the world (couldn't get you off)
All the gold and the guns and the girls (couldn't get you off)
All the boys, all the choices in the world
I remember when we we're gambling to win
Everybody else said better luck next time
I don't wanna bend, let the bad girls bend
I just wanna be your friend
Is it ever gonna be enough
Is it ever gonna be enough
Is it ever gonna be enough
Is it ever gonna be enough
Is it ever gonna be enough
Is it ever gonna be enough
Is it ever gonna be enough
All the lace and the skin in the shop (couldn't get you off)
All the toys and the tools in the box (couldn't get you off)
All the noise, all the voices never stop
I remember when we we're gambling to win
Everybody else said better luck next time
I don't wanna bend, let the bad girls bend
I just wanna be your friend
Why you giving me a hard time?
I remember when we we're gambling to win
Everybody else said
Is it ever gonna be enough
Is it ever gonna be enough
Is it ever gonna be enough
Is it ever gonna be enough
Is it ever gonna be enough
Is it ever gonna be enough
More and more, more and more, more and more
More and more, more and more, more and more and more and more
More and more, more and more, more and more, more and more and
More and more, more and more, more and more and more and more
Is it ever gonna be enough
Is it ever gonna be enough
Is it ever gonna be enough
Is it ever gonna be enough
Is it ever gonna be enough
Is it ever gonna be enough
Is it ever gonna be enough
Is it ever gonna be enough
Is it ever gonna be enough
Is it ever gonna be enough
Is it ever gonna be enough
Is it ever gonna be enough
Is it ever gonna be enough
All the gold and the guns and the girls (couldn't get you off)
All the boys, all the choices in the world
I remember when we we're gambling to win
Everybody else said better luck next time
I don't wanna bend, let the bad girls bend
I just wanna be your friend
Is it ever gonna be enough
Is it ever gonna be enough
Is it ever gonna be enough
Is it ever gonna be enough
Is it ever gonna be enough
Is it ever gonna be enough

Seems to me like people are being too literal. She was inspired by Scarface - a movie about a man who wanted more money, more power, more women.
This doesn't mean the song is about Scarface, though. Quite a few lines make me think of feminism.
"All the boys, All the choices in the world"
Who is choosing to do so much harm for more gold, more guns, and more girls?
"I don't wanna bend, Let the bad girls bend I just wanna be your friend"
Women competing for attention (labeling those other girls, the ones who are interested in sex, as 'bad') from men who sometimes sadly often satisfied with friendship from women (via objectification, the media portrays women as being for sex, not friendship).
"All the lace and the skin in the shop All the toys and the tools in the box" (couldn't get you off)
Increasing pornification of society (Idiocracy, anyone?), causing desensitization (driving a need for more and more)
"All the noise, all the voices never stop"
It's everywhere.
"I remember when we we're gambling to win Everybody else said better luck next time"
Tempted to think of the women's movement, before women decided that commodifying their own sexuality was somehow a good thing.
... men who sometimes sadly aren't satisified... not 'often'. Oops.
I definitely interpret this song just like you, very well said.
A coherent, plausible, and thorough analysis of this song. I thought it was a song about lipids.
