I agree with eysaatheon, I think the song is about a relationship between people.
The person speaking (she) wants more from their sexual relationship and so she sets her "fee" which is demanding something more than sexual relationship or it's their current relationship is over. He then tells her that that's too much weight on their current relationship (she uses "pounds" as a simile for heavy thing she's asking from him). "I guess I'm stuck with me" seems to be could be either a thought but more so something she says to him in retort which causes him to defensively calls her "small" (small minded, pity). And so, her comeback to him is "Water me. I promise I can grow tall. When making love is free". Mean if he nourishing her/their relationship she'll grow more mentally and emotionally and that she won't have to play these games if he just accepts her wager - by watering her and then their loving/sex won't have a mental/emotional fee for her/him because it will be free.
@rabbitheartedkid I agree with your assessment but I wanted to note that it being "too much in pounds" is probably a literal thing referring to the British currency rather than metaphorical since she is referring to a fee.
