Lyric discussion by jsmith 

Maybe I'm wrong, but I always thought it was about a woman and he gigalo... He falls in love with her, but she has no use for him anymore.

"You always wanted a lover I only wanted a job I've always worked for my living"

"I come here looking for money (Got to have it) And end up living with love, oh, oh Now you left me with nothing"

@jsmith I agree with your interpretation. In fact, until I came here, it never occurred to me that there was another way to look at it.

When he says, "what have I done to deserve this?" I see that as irony on the part of the songwriters. Like he's saying, "How can you leave me after all this hard work I've put in?"
