“I’d always choose someone younger. I wanted to smother them with love. I’d take them around the world, try to educate them. One after another they got a Cartier watch, a Versace outfit, maybe a sports car. They didn’t have jobs. They were reliant on me. I did this repeatedly. In six months they were bored and hated my guts because I’d taken their lives and self-worth away. I hadn’t intended to.” Let on said this in an interview a few years back. I could relate. I tried to buy the love several much younger men...

I tried to buy the love several much younger men and they ended up hating me. I cried when I thought about the song in this way. I feel deep shame, pain and regret at the lyrics
You know you can't hold me forever
I'm not a present for your friends to open
You can't plant me in your penthouse
But especially
Maybe you'll get a replacement
There's plenty like me to be found
Mongrels who ain't got a penny
Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground
In searching for love I have preyed on the poverty of beautiful young men and tried to own them with tragic results.
If that's not what the song is about, it definitely fits that interpretation
This is about someone deciding to leave his or her "sugar-daddy". Know what Im saying?
