whether he's 'hard' for her, or 'hot' for her, these two people need each other.
She doesn't know anything about this guy as she's been so wrapped up in her work, staying at the office all night long, and somewhere along the line, she's built up these protective barriers for herself that have turned her 'hard' and made her not know 'how to love'.
The man... perhaps he will just take her home, sleep with her and leave in the morning, as the last fewlines of his stanza suggest. But that is his own self-protective behaviour. He doesn't want to do it, as he likes this woman ("her heels so high, my hopes so low"), but has become somewhat resigned to th fact, because he himself doesn't 'know how to love'
I think the whole point of this song is looking at these two people's lives, and how even though they barely know each other (if at all), if they could just let the other one in, then maybe they could learn to love. If he would just 'Spend a lazy sunday in my arms', then perhaps they would be perfect for each other.
But they probably won't because that's the way life is, and that is the nature of many Stars songs.
