this is about all the girls he's had relationships with, whom he writes songs about and then sings them to them(they think it's romantic, so they never question it - "I love the way you never ask me why
I love to write about each wrinkle on your face")
and then he earns money from these songs.
when he says "the number one I hope to reap
Depends upon the tears you weep" i think this is having a deep emotional relationship with someone that he can then write about the relationship in a song and get a number 1 hit with the song.
it's quite comical really...
