One other thing - "your way in is my way out" : most people see sex as an implicit bond between two people, and a way to intimacy and psychic dependency (way in). But the speaker sees it as a path to get out of himself and experience selfless love (way out, the tantric way). The two views cannot live together without problems. The person being spoken to believes that love should limit intimacy to just the two involved. But the speaker in the song does not subscribe to this view: "and love's four-letter word is no compensation". Again, he will probably end up deceiving her again.
