Re-wording, in my opinion:

You sure you want to be exclusive with me? I'm not a player in it just for hot sex I won't lie and say I'm the best lay out of all the girls you shag Let's just forget the sex and work on our emotional relationship Go think about something other than sex - namely, me.

I don't want to be the best out of many (I want to be the only one) I don't want to be the number 1 girl who's kissed out of lust instead of love If we give in to our bodily desires we'll undo all of the emotional progress in sixty seconds But for now, you can't seem to do that so I'm not going to get involved And when you can handle trust (and a proper relationship) we'll have sex And it'll be mind-blowing

Karmacoma etc

You and any other girl can "be together" but it's not a true relationship You're only a couple when you're having sex Go ahead and "duplicate"(could mean having an oops baby or just the emotional/relationship consequences in general of sex) but that kind of relationship will be a disaster (like Kuwait) in the end

My Interpretation
