I can totally relate to Kira-chan's interprewtation, but I reckon it's actually a love song to Chantal of sorts (Dammit, I'm beign soppy! blushes). Most of the interpretation, I reckon, sums up how I feel about my girlfriend (and maybe people in general as well).
For me, the lines There's nothing you can do that I've not already done to myself." represent how much older Jimmy is than Chantal.
"Be nice!
Be nice to me,
Don't ever be--" - He wants her to be nice to him but then realises this means they're getting closer and kind of flinches away.
Be nice!
Be nice to me,
Don't let me go! (don't let me go) - Umm, this is slightly obvious.
"I am too cool for the second...GRADE!
I'm amazed!
I'm afraid!
I am too cool for the second..GRADE!" - Chantal makes Jimmy feel like a second-grader/little kid. and is amazed and afraid at the sort of feelings love brings up. I can sure relate to that!!
"Never wanted to dance with nobody, not you!
Never wanted to dance with nobody but you,
Never wanted to dance with nobody but you--
wouldn't take "no" for an answer, you fucking bitch!" - Secretly really liking Chantal but forcing himself to keep quiet about it (in the first line), wanting nobody else (2nd and 3rd lines. That is, if you ignore the 'but you').
Then the way the 3rd and 4th line flow into one another indicates that she just wouldn't take no for an answer.
For me, those four lines above represent how I sometimes love my girlfriend and don't want a relationship with anyone else, but then feel really resentful for being in a relationship with her (It'll be 4 years next month and - worryingly, IMO - neither of us is even 25 yet!)

So that's my two cents.
