axlmed, sorry to hurt your feelings, but I saw one of those old school 80's flashbacks where someone (I think it may have even been Martika) described that this song is about drugs (don't remember which one, I think heroine) and one of her friends (or maybe a brother).
This person who she was talking about did drugs on purpose the first couple times (Its true I did extend the invitation) and then couldn't stop (but I never knew how long you would stay) lied to his/her family and friends (first stanza) and eventually died.
The 'wont you come out and play with me' line refers to the fact that the drugs continually called to him/her and he/she couldn't say no.
I think the chorus is supposed to be about dealing with someone on drugs . . . and how nothing you can do helps, but you never give up.
But, it is easy to make a point for either drugs or love (and it matters more what each individual thinks then what is actually true), drugs (especially heroine) have much the same effect as love, it is so good at the beginning, begins to consume you and then when it goes wrong, it can really go wrong.
