Lyric discussion by wastrel 

Amazing song. Kind of tongue-in-cheek commentary on housewives who get themselves into situations ("I'd wear your black eyes") just "for a diamond ring." There's no love between the two, just the desire to mold into a domestic society. Or maybe I've just been analyzing too much feminist-related lit in English class lately.

Or I suppose the narrator could be saying that she loves the guy so much that she'd be willing to settle down as a housewife, despite the dull life she outlines.
