All in the context of the line "I paid and got laid in return" which may be a reoccurring thing cause she doesn't learn...
"I came home in the morning and everything was gone
oh, what have I done!
I dropped dead in the hallway
cursing the dawn
oh come on sun, why must I burn?"
She paid to get laid, brought the guy back to her apartment, woke up, found out he robbed her, cursed her self for "burning", as in with lust.
"I stared into the light to kill some of my pain
it was all in vain, 'cause no senses remained
but an ache in my body
and regret on my mind
but I'll be fine 'cause"
maybe "the light" is referring to the light of religion, so she tries to not be a sex addict, but she has an ache in her body (for sex) but regret on her mind (cause of how she's going about relieving said ache), but shes thinking that maybe she'll learn.
"got kicked in the head
so I started a fight
'cause I knew I was right
but I learned I was wrong
I remember a slaughter
I remember I fought for the money I'd brought
I got blistered and burned"
This one's a little weird. I think maybe someone who cared for her found her looking for another guy to lay her, and fought with her about it saying it was wrong and it was bad for her, she fought with them they proved she was wrong but she still fought with them so she could buy some sex with the money she brought to the place where she'd pick up a guy. and yet again she got blistered and burned.
"I came to on a corner, with some help from a man
and goddamn, I don't seem to have learned
that a lady in need is guilty indeed
so I paid and got laid in return"
the previous night's endeavors left her in this condition, lying on a street corner. she knows she hasn't learned that a lady in need (of sex) is guilty (when she pays for it??), and she does it all over again
the rest of the song...she admits that she never learns
