Kate must be singing about a prostitute, offering the warmth of a female touch like earliest memories of being held by mother. There are plenty of references to sexual enticement such as strong perfume, red lipstick. But then there are clues to an ulterior motive such as you'll feel like kicking a habit and "She'll tell you that she'll stay,So you'd better barricade the way out" i.e. enticing you with false pretenses of her staying. Finally letting you watch her undress shows confident woman knowing what she wants!
