"Ivy boy, he couldn't be trusted
even his face was an alias
Tried to be like Monte Hall
Living like a rubber ball
Found himself in Montreal
Ivy couldn't deal at all"
To me, the song is about a self-righteous woman, who thinks highly of her supposed morals and strong character, while she secretly has many, many affairs, possibly disguising herself in order to do so.
Then she genuinely falls in love with a guy, who turns out to be a philanderer and her life utterly falls apart when he leaves her.
That last line should be:
