This is a guy that comes across as a bad ass. A real James Dean type. He does it to be cool.
He meets this fine woman. Hey baby. Just warning you. I'm trouble. Hell, even the most evil of evil would be frightened of me. Your parents won't like me. Are you sure you want to get involved?
Of course he doesn't say this to drive her away. He knows that some chicks dig the bad boy and this is one of those chicks. He is laying out the honey knowing that she'll eat it up. Of course, deep down, he really isn't a bad ass. This is all a calculated act to get what he wants.
He puts on a real show. He talks about all the bad ass things he's done but he is usually all talk. He doesn't really put himself in harm's way. He can go on with this charade forever. He loves the perks and attention being a bad boy brings.
But wait a second. This chick is a different. She isn't a sheep. She sees right through him. She's a bit of a bad ass herself. She calls him out for being the poser that he is. It throws him for a loop. No one has ever spoken or acted that way toward him. He is not sure about this relationship anymore. He is losing the upper hand.
This chick is smart. She knows what she's doing. She set out to tame the beast and has succeeded. She has him in the palm of her hand. She's wearing the pants in this relationship.
Jimmy Dean is now a shell of his former self. The tables have turned and he is no longer calling the shots. The chick has exposed him and took away his edge. No one is afraid of him anymore. The bad boy mystique is gone.
Dude isn't comfortable in this role at all. In fact, he finds it humiliating. He trys to play it cool and act like he knew what she was doing all along. He hightails it out of that relationship presumingly looking for a woman more obedient and unquestioning.

@mrspears +1 to you, you hit the nail on the head - I think what you wrote is exactly what the song is about. Someone with an ego.

@mrspears exactly what I heard....exactly what we did...her and I.
