The narrator (which could be anybody at some point in their lives) proudly claims that he doesn't want money, fast love, an exclusive relationship, or really anything that people might covet in a relationship. These are also things that a self-centered person would request.
Instead, he just wants the one thing that can't be guaranteed. Because of that, he is actually more conceited.
On the other hand, by the loosest of definitions, "changing someone's life" is the easiest thing in the world: all you've got to to is exist, really. So maybe the song is more direct than I interpret it.
This song is pure irony.
