i believe Drake meant for this song to have multiple meanings. For the best songs ever made do the same thing. This is why Drake and Kid CuDi are the only two rappers i listen to. I believe that the title says a lot within itself and with the song obviously being about a stripper it creates the perfect combo of a prostitute who's job is to be kind to her paying customers and an ignorant man(Drake) who thinks what he is feeling is true when meanwhile to the prostitute this is just another night on the job. However the prostitute is so good on the job that she seems to good to be true. and she is so good at what she does because she has "done this before". But i believe at some point (i think in the chorus or verse #2) the tables turn because the prostitute actually fell in love with Drake. But Drake, now aware of the reality in front of him, faces a question of whether any of it was real or if she was just playing him the whole time. And i think that question is never answered in the song. I think Drake did that for a reason allowing a more broad interpretation/connection of the song.

me personally i just think of fake bitches who i thought we're real and wanted so bad for them to be the people i thought they were. definitely one of my favorite songs from Drake. so far ;)

Quite brilliant. I (honestly) wasn't sure he was talking about a stripper but this was probably due to my misunderstanding of the cultural references within the song or "americanisims" that rappers use that sometimes keep us non-american rap fans in the dark. Thanks.
