I wouldn't say this song's about rape, exactly. I think it's about the bad boy mystique, and how it feeds into a girl's attitudes about herself. "You got nothing to prove/You're a bad little girl/And you know your life is in ruins..." as spoken by the bad boy to the girl - but it's all about the girl, really, the self-destructiveness and the desire to be with someone who won't be kind or dishonest with her. Which I think is what "I don't count you in at all," and "I'm not your friend but your foe" is about: you can trust a selfish person to be selfish sometimes when you can't trust a nice person to actually be nice, deep down.
My favorite bit is: "So when Friday comes and you got the chills/And your feet are aching to go/Don't have to call on me/Cause I'm already there/Come on little girl, let's go!" because it gives the whole thing an almost mythic quality: the lover/enemy waiting for the girl before she even gives in to wanting him, because (a) he wants her that badly, and/or (b) he's really a sort of reflection of her and her darker self.
