I don't see this song as being about rape, just about being a smooth talker and getting a girl into bed.
The person within the song doesn't necessarily like what he's doing, but has it all worked out: facial expressions, knowing that it's ladies' night and suggesting that by "getting her back to the bar" is just to "get her out of the cold".
He knows exactly what he's doing, but feels bad about it anyways.
I think the line that bothers me most is "Barely conscious in the door where you stand." This girl is not tipsy, or even crunked. She is about to pass out. When a girl is that intoxicated, it is really hard to argue that he gained consent. In fact, in several states, it would be considered rape if the guy were sober.
