This song taps the vein of forbidden love. I think it's about an affair. "I can't bear to, try and share you, well I'm the one to talk, you're the one who's free." He's saying it's funny that he's so jealous and possessive when he's either got a wife or a girlfriend, and meanwhile this girl is "free" - meaning still single, though possibly seeing someone else at the same time. Like TheSilverNoble said, the guy knows that the girl just can't be with him for some reason or other (maybe because he won't change his situation; hence, she has to pretend to be his wife for the few brief nights when they're together). Towards the end of the song, he recognizes that the relationship has to end, but she'll always be born for him; even when she forget him, he'll still be in love with her. Perhaps I'm applying it too much to my own personal tale... who knows?
