I wouldn't have even gone for a gay/straight interpretation. I just thought it was about a man who has no authority or say in the relationship ("because she's gone and made a fool of you in public again").

But ultimately the woman needs that authority/power hence asking for forgiveness ("if she begs you to?")

Just my interpretation.
