Okay, this one's a little obvious. Basically a very "outgoing" lady goes around looking for weak dependant males to dominate, and most of them end up falling in love with her. I like the reference to a tarnished pearl, as in she's of no value to the guys, but they keep her around for their own sentimental value.

The part where she says "and she's looking around" could be taken two ways in my opinion: the first is a threat to men, to watch out for her relentlessness....but the second could be that she's looking around because in the end, everyone will move on, and because she treated all of these men so badly, she will be left with no one to love her.
