Almost too creepy to play for other than dark humor or irony.
The narrator of the song felt a connection with a girl in a relationship she knew was doomed. She rejected his advances at the time, asking him to wait until she officially broke it off, promising they could be together then. It's possible he read more into her words than she actually said, or she was leading him on, or any number of possibilities, but for whatever reason, once it was done she got cold feet and started avoiding him.
He manages to confront her and declares that she owes him her affections because of her promise. He demands it, like a lender collecting a debt.
On one level, a catchy, funky song invoking "the chase" of an amorous man pursuing a reluctant woman. But I think that the songwriter is intentionally deconstructing it, revealing a frighteningly predatory attitude. The man's gone Yandere, which is what the song is really about.

@tjareth I think he just called her out for teasing him. He got her.
