He's singing about that girl that just completely captivates him. He can't push her away no matter how hard he tries, she's just that needy. You know the kind, they call in the middle of the night to tell you some story that really doesn't matter but is a "big deal" to them but don't care how you're doing at all. She basically just uses him all she wants and then hangs him out to dry. It's a very one-sided relationship. I have a "best friend" just like Billy Joel's "Laura"
