Millennium Evil's second interpretation is spot on.
The whole second verse makes more sense when read as one piece, i think:
I don't need a boy
I've got a man of steel
Don't come any closer
I don't wanna feel
Your breathing
your touching
but nothing's for free
I never want this to happen to me.
Don't try to change me
you're wasting your time
Now I've got something much better in mind
An innocent young girl is approached in a park, by a "boy next door" who turned out not to be what he seemed.
She rebuffed his advances- I don't need a boy... don't come any closer
He went ahead anyway, and as she realised what was about to happen, and couldn't stop it, she retreated in her head to thinking about her idol to help her escape from it "now I've got something much better in mind"

Very sad.
