Breakdown Lyrics

I think this song is about a guy wanting to have sex with a woman who is reluctant. He says "Breakdown honey take me through the night" - to have sex with him throughout the entire night. He also says he doesn't care if she loves him or not because it doesn't matter -- its just sex to him. I don't think its about a desire to be emotionally connected with someone at all.
