Does it always have to be about drugs? Nope, but the only other choices are love or heart break. I chose love here, or a kind of love. I think he is in a situation we all know too well. One in which he hasn't been in love for a while, hence the lonely line. I think this Cuban girl is someone he recently met, perhaps someone who sparks something in him, infatuation. He has been a bit lost and lonely and thats what he is singing about.
That was incredibly incoherent and probably wrong but its a great song so who cares.
