That last line must've been the real tripper for most people trying to decipher the meaning of this song. The way it's phrased sounds as if the man is going to have a one-sided relationship to his benefit.
Now that it's already established that this song is just a lighthearted song about a man who wants to start a relationship with a friend of his, the last line can be best interpreted as "No, I'm never gonna set you free [as long as you still love me]"
