The comments under this are ancient so I'll tell you my, more updated thoughts:
This song was written by both Hope and David. Who wrote what is the question. I think this song is about loving a woman who is in a relationship with someone else yet feeling as though she's yours. In your mind, this woman is yours already, but she seems unavailable. Hence the transition from: "She's my baby, she belongs to me" to "But I know she belongs to you".
The woman is so beautiful that the people walking by want to get to know her as well. Implying that the writer is not the only one showing interest.
Wether it's a song about homoseksuality depends on who really wrote the song. Of course they both wrote it. But who's crush is it? I personally like to think it's Hope who wrote it, so I can imagine myself in love with another woman who is unavailable. But it could definitely be David as well.
I think the lines; "But baby's feelin' bad today, she's thinking of going away", could mean that this woman is planning to commit su!c!de instead of actually going to another place like other posts are implying. I'm saying this could very well be because of the lyric; "baby's feeling bad today". In Elliott Smith's song 'Amity', he vaguely says "I'm ready to go" with which he meant that he was ready to die. I think Hope and David are vaguely trying to word that this woman is not doing very well.
