Cait is correct, in the old days Lords would have their way with Chambermaids, and what the narrator is saying is that she is not a chambermaid, and will not be treated as such. She's been this man's lover, and has discovered (or already knew) that he already had a "lady" and he cant see her often because of this.
"Hold me close when you've been thinking of her
I don't want to hear you say you love me
You've been gone such a long time"
What she says is that she is in control, and shes dropping him... Chances are the narrator was giving him money or goods because she enjoyed his company, like she was his 'sugar mama' =]
