Hmmm I disagree with all interpretations really. I think it's about girls always going for the "jerk" and ignoring genuinely nice guys. Wanting the bad boy who is cruel and seemingly does nothing for her.
The boyfriend is clearly king leer (gift of the grab, real hint of cruelty etc....)
I don't think the girl is an ice queen at all, but someone who entertains the singer because he's nice to her, but he doesn't float her boat sexually (nothing much happened) and as a result she is dismissive of the narrator because she only has eyes for the bad boy (doesn't thank or call him).
I see this as a real companion to Driving your girlfriend home, but King Leer is much earlier in the relationship when she's still disillusioned before she realises the boyfriend is a dick and she isn't enjoying her life any more in DYGH.
