I think I have this song figured out. First of all, this is definitely a sample of Chic's Soup For One, (1982) which apparently has a connection to the lyrics, and video. How so?
You may notice that the focus seems to be largely on the bald, "third wheel" guy. There is a reason for this. He is the narrator of the song, and truly is the third wheel. Notice the first 26 seconds are exclusively locked on him, and as he enters the restaurant we see her through his eyes. There is little attention on her boyfriend, who is actually quite forgettable. As they walk out of the restaurant, again we see her through his eyes.
He won't get her out of his mind
He senses love now from her, for the first time
And he knows that it's true
He can tell by the look in her eyes
If you notice, he looks more serious than happy throughout the video, as he mentally expresses his repressed love for her. After his minor injury, she gets a bit flirty with him, which must be a challenge. He refers to her as "lady" out of respect, while he hopes and waits for true, requited love. Meanwhile, he mentally drinks soup for one.
