Simply Irresistible Lyrics

So is this song about true love or is the singer, as most do, once again talking about sex? "I'm backed against the wall" and "theres no telling where the money went", sould that refer to a hooker?

@saawanj "Up against the wall" is a saying that means "in a very bad position or situation." It's not a literal wall. "There's no telling where the money went" means he's so infatuated with this woman that he's spending all his money on her. It's definitely not about true love, but I don't think there's any reason to believe it's about prostitution. It's a bunch of clunky metaphors about how obsession with a woman makes a guy do crazy things.
