The first is her going through the dating crap that everyone goes through.She never finds the fulfillment that she needs from these men so she moves on.
The she finds someone who claims her heart. A son of gun who rejects her. (the lyrics posted here are wrong; the song goes And he's gonna do what he's gonna do/ He'll roll on, roll on)
She goes crazy getting over him, thinking of him constantly getting depressed, harming herself. She comes to realise that she's getting bitter. Instead of giving in she realises that she cant do without love no matter how painful it is.
So along comes this other man. She tells him that the son of a gun was not love but an unobtainable fairy tale and considering how it went last time, she's no longer looking for a fairytale. He is offering her a safer deal and she's wondering how she ended up with him.
The end of the song is her trying to work out whether what she has found with this second man is enough to keep her satisied, if she has missed her chance at passionate love and she should go for something steadier and longer lasting.
Or if she should keep searching for that feeling. Something more than just a warm bed.
