I think there are several ways to interpret this one, and it's almost impossible to say which meaning Jackson intended...that's the sign of a great song. I lean toward the meaning that was stated above, that the girl is saying 'it's just sex, not love', and I agree that it is a sort of role reversal of the commonly believed tropes. But I certainly may be wrong.
I love the structure of this song -- it reminds me of XTC, and Jackson even sings this one like Andy Partridge from XTC probably would. Just a fantastic song.
