I see this all as being directly said to her lover, presumably a rich man. In the main verses, shes predicting a divorce, talking about running away with his money, shown in "fancy a fast car, a bag full of loot". And in the chorus she's denying what she said in the other verses, calling it a joke, and claiming her love for him over and over.
Depending on interpretation, that could either mean she really truly loves him, and when she tells him it'll end badly she's just joking to distract herself from how much she loves him. You could also interpret it as a kind of satirical song about a woman who is really seeking monetary gain, lets slip her intentions a few times, and has to cover it with monumental proclamations of love. I personally think the first interpretation is slightly more likely than the second.
Either way you interpret it, there's some fear of commitment in there. If I was the man she was singing this to, I'd be pretty confused and apprehensive. So maybe she's trying to throw him off and keep him at arms length, because she's not ready to tie the knot yet. And the song title 'distractions' could be her trying to distract him from the idea of marriage.
This song could really mean any number of things, but that doesn't stop it from being beautiful...
