This song is about "Reggie" and his feelings for a (girl)friend where he wants to be more than that and be accepted with her in a relationship like in the lines "The way you wanted me to be, Is just as easy as 1-2-3" It shows he's willing to change to be taken in with her and when he says "I knew the words to make you stay" It's not in a literal sense, he means to have her stay with him...that's my take at least.
