Great song, very clever lyrics. From my point of view it looks like this is a story about a sort of hot and cold relationship. Really interesting how the context of the verse changes the meaning of the chorus without changing the lyrics or tone of the song.
the first verse talks about the relationship from a sort of immature viewpoint referencing a child's rhyme and focusing on the sexual attraction alone. the following chorus is him proudly saying how everybody wants to take the girl home apparently because she's attractive and how he's the lucky guy who is taking her home.
The second verse is almost a complete reversal where the relationship is now very toxic. They apparently move to LA on a whim (like they threw a dart on a map and it landed near LA) but it doesn't solve anything. He talks about how all of their love is wasted and the Lothario reference implies that either she is cheating on him or he thinks she is cheating on him when she actually isn't.
Here the chorus changes and instead of him being proud to be with her he despises how other men are looking to take his girlfriend from him and is paranoid about the relationship.
The last verse isn't as clear but to me it looks like the main guy recognizes that his insecurity is only making things worse and he truly does love the girl and is willing to make compromises to make things better and possibly marrying her.
The final chorus being neither prideful nor paranoid but simply stating that everyone is going to be going after his girl like it's something that he is just going to have to deal with.
