Not as simple as it looks! I think she is expressing ambivalence and confusion. There is contradiction in the words. At first she talks about the desire to do various things that would get her away. Then later She says that she does them.

The song's video is very revealing. There is someone dressed in a lion costume that very propablly represents the 'man' she is trying to escape. A cuddly lion that she kisses at the end of the video.
