Sounds to me, like LR said, it's about a man who knows what he wants, but can't get it. Dirty king and Mister clean sound like things you'd call someone who has the woman you want. Dirty king being disgusting king of her heart, Mr. Clean being a sarcastic refference to a show put up for her. I want to is saying that he'd like to steal her from the 'dirty king' but, his hands are always tied. It all makes since in that light if you think about it.
