This is such a beautiful song - I relate to it so much and it's really empowering!
I guess she's been hurt by the person she loved so she's decided she won't let anyone else in (a reccurring theme in her recent songs, it seems) and this is her declaring her independence and that she doesn't need anyone.
I'm guessing there was a pretty dark spell after the break up (the bit about water - like the part about dogs in Pray For Me). She's also slept around a bit, though is proud that the men don't know the real her and cannot truly access her, so she hasn't let them in.
Totally agree with your interpretation! Although I think she isn't saying SHE slept around. I think she's referring to other girls who open their legs easily, while she doesn't even open her mind to boys. Just my opinion :)

I do think that this song shows how far along and stronger she's become. Such a great leap in maturity and strength from "New Romantic" to this song!
