Here's my take on it, copy and pasted from what I put on the last fm shoutbox:
i love this. after studying this song for months and with the emergence of the video: it feels like this song is about the weeknd attempting to save a stripper girl from that lifestyle, yet she eventually told all of her co-workers and they all wanted a piece of him too. the weeknd is regretting the whole thing "If I knew..... I would have left you at the club" and he also notes the girl saying she has nobody and nowhere to go but then asks the rhetorical question who keeps calling on her phone (hint: It's him). He knows he's wrong but he still can't resist calling her. amazing, amazing lyrical concept for a song. The Weeknd is a genius and way underrated.
Don't you have some pretty little thing to screw or is she busy collecting the money from her parents that she'll need to cover your "date" tonight. That's ok. Get her drunk and you'll be Adonis in her eyes...for a brief period anyway. Then again, it takes SO much to deceive and impress a gullible young girl. Happy poking. Just don't let her slip that she's not May's girl. That one shall have to be much better as an arm hang and last through the summer...gotta impress the fellers.
