Is it just me, or does anyone else think that there might be something darker behind this song?
He starts with "Why can't you see you torture me?", meaning he likes her, but knows he has no chance with her. His excuse is that she has a boyfriend, but really he knows she is way out of his league.
By saying "You wait for his spark/cock, you know it'll turn you on", he means that her attraction to this other guy is purely sexual; ostensibly she will end up with the singer because of true love. However, he doesn't back this up with what he says. The whole thing is kind of condescending ("You don't know what you want, It's gonna take you years to find out"), and lines like "I'll have my way, you won't have a say anyway
Cause I've got you" make it sound like he's only interested in her as part of some kind of sadistic fantasy. Although the guy she's currently with is portrayed as using her, this is most likely the singer projecting his own personality onto the boyfriend through jealousy.
