This song is presumably about a rock 'n roll relationship (either between two rockstars or one rockstar and someone who waits at home). He describes the rock n roll lifestyle and how it affects his relationship - e.g 'my voice too rough with cigarettes' and 'I sometimes think I should just go home'.
It's obviously a very sexual relationship - You welcome me with open arms and open legs' - and when they see each other its for such a short time that most of it is spent passionately. Therefore when he says 'I love you' she says 'you'd better!' because otherwise their relationship would be JUST sexual, instead of a romantic relationship that simply isn't granted much of a chance due to long distance.
