Although the song meaning seems to be obvious it always strikes me as a fact that he is desperately trying to get to her, and even though he is trying not to give any significance to it, he finds her very attractive. Also he states that he knows HIS kind (yes you can understand this in different ways but mine is as acceptable as others), now these little things that steal away from him… It always reminds me about Hamlet and Ophelia. Hamlet told Ophelia to run to the monastery because all men were sinners (especially in Hamlet’s Denmark) and make a sincere gesture of repentance for his own sins. Let’s say that Hamlet was just a little bit more sinful, would he advise Ophelia to run to the monastery OR would he like Gore (for example) advice her to stay with him as he knows, feels inside him, that he has to be at least better than all the alternatives. And by doing so he becomes the same thing he despises, he gets the girl just like the rest would (with his persuasive ways), except if he suddenly starts feeling the same guilt like Kevin Spacey in American Beauty, which in my theory is impossible. Subconsciously he knows he is just one of them and that is the reason why he is focusing all of his strength not to think about that and dresses his lustful needs in a savior knight’s suit. Maybe he is better then others, but he is definitely not showing it.
The best part of the song is, by my opinion, when he says “it should be better” “it should be better with you” and deluded by his selfish feeling completely reveals that there are no generous gestures of charity and that he expects to get something in return. For a conclusion I’m not saying that she won’t be happy with him, and I’m not even saying that he is a pig or whatever, basically things like this are normal and whether she is going to be happy (also if he is going to be happy) doesn’t have nothing to do with “who will get her” it’s all in themselves. I mean if she wants she could be happy with “the rest of his kind” (like the girls who date their own age) but if she wants to give her self to a much older man with all of its consequences, let her be happy...

I think exactly the same!! It's just the way he likes to play to get what he wants isn't it?
