It's about a woman who is either having an affair with a married man, or being hit on by one. She recognises the usual cliches he spouts, which by now "bore her to death", and she rejects him. The monotony of the background music cleverly mirrors the boredom and monotony felt by the woman as the man drones on about his marriage and sex life problems. Love this song, very understated, that's why it works so well.
The meaning is pretty clear...
