God, this song -- it's so incredible. He takes such a typically overdone subject and makes it into something so...elegant. It's as if every fiber of his being is poured into the lyrics and I love that.
It's not a hard song to get the gist of -- he's admitting his addiction to sex. He knows he's in the wrong, but he just can't bring himself to stop because, like he says: "the mind says 'no sir' / but the body says 'please' / the heart stays silent / such a silent tease".
He may have the heart of a hustler, but along with it comes pain and shame.
