To me, this is a very sad song, nothing sweet about it.
I think it's about people, the dating scene I guess, everyone being so desperate for love, and not getting it. All they really get is dinner, and maybe some empty sex. This bit:
And it's been a long time since before I've been touched
Now I'm getting touched all the time
And it's only a matter of who
And it's only a matter of when
... strikes me as tragic. To me, it reads as a girl regretting her sexual activity. She lost her virginity at an early age and sex is all she knows, but she longs for something more.
