I think this song is quite obviously about a farewell to a lover. He wants to leave her, but is hesitant to do so, so she ends up doing it for him. The lyrics make some pretty funny use of self-deprecation when he accuses her of not knowing what "au revoir" means. It's as if he is making fun of himself for being condescending to her, and she confirms his condescension when she says "Adios, adios, I bet you think I don't know what that means." I think a lot of people can say they've been in a similar situation to these lyrics. This is a fantastic song, and as the previous commenter said, a great way to begin the new record.
