I don't think this is necessarily about prostitutes. Sure, the woman only comes out at night, and is attracted to men with money and expensive cars, but the song warns against love. I don't think most johns are "in it for love," they know what they're in it for when they get a hooker. Instead I think it's about a gold digger woman. Someone who spends time with men, goes out on the town at night with various guys and charms them, but will only spend quality time with them if they have money. After all, "she's sitting with you but her eyes are on the door..." probably means she's sitting with a guy at a club or something on a date, but is always watching and waiting to see if a richer more desirable man comes in so she can ditch the guy she's with and go after bigger fish, hurting lots of feelings along the way. |
