The singer is nun who feels her youth slipping away and is questioning her line of work as she "still [has] something left to sell". Bitter toward her mom/family which implicates that her profession might have been expected or forced upon her. Maybe she had older sisters who were married off leaving her to join the church.
She is probably tired of spending all day with ancient fossils making rosaries for orphans in Uganda and just wants to be kissed one ("is that too much to ask??"). The whole think makes me think of Maria in "The Sound of Music". She may have simply fallen in love with someone she'll never have, but describes her longing in the most extreme level possible.
This story would make a great movie where she has a secret romance with some sexy young priest. At the end they'd get exposed and excommunicated from the church and forced to leave the community, but they'd at least have each other. I'm sure that movie/story has been made 100 times already.
"I want to be a brothel worker, I’ve always been treated like one" is the saddest line! Probably true. People treat nun's and priests as different from "normal" people (myself included).
Anywhoo. Great song to listen to while slacking off at work.
