"She was so pretty
pretty as can be
and I thought my God, why shouldn't it be me?"
"I wasn't even her first, so don't blame it on me"
"Don't put a beautiful body
In front of somebody who's hungry"
And that with the very dark, creepy retro-blues of the song which gives it this primal atmospheric quality. It's rape. Although the idea of woman envy is interesting, but it doesn't take all the lines of the song into account.
That's exactly what I thought...
It's so creepy how much this reminds me of things I've heard guys say, especially the part about "I wasn't even her first"
As for it being from a man's point of view even though it's sung by Regina, she's said in interviews that she ofter writes songs from the point of view of someone completely different, and she has songs from men's point of view (Oedipus comes to mind, I can't remember any others).

It's rape told from the rapist's point of view.
"Her body was free"
"She was so pretty pretty as can be and I thought my God, why shouldn't it be me?"
"I wasn't even her first, so don't blame it on me"
"Don't put a beautiful body In front of somebody who's hungry"

That's what I got out of it..

I agree! This is totally what I was getting at! (I rarely log in on this, so I just barely so those replies to my comment years ago)
