Hitter's got it right on, but also it's about on the other side of things, while all men care about is sex, all women care about is gold, jewelry and shiny things. "Baby baby you gonna lose her sweet man, Dupree come out with a losin' hand, Baby's gonna weep it up for a while, Then go out and find another sweet man's gonna treat her with style." She's just gonna find another guy who will buy her pretty things, as long as she puts out. "Some like jelly jelly, some like gold." I guess you could say it's sort of about what people will do to get their material pleasures. I find it hilarious and a little gross but mostly hilarious how they use the word "jelly" to mean vagina, or maybe just sex.
