there is more to a song than the chorus maybe this chorus is about masturbating ask Jackson Browne. This is a song about him trying his best to please a girl (I don't think the "wear my ring" part is too relevant) be it someone he cheated on his wife with or a girlfriend before or after his wife then the girl left him after all his hard work for the drummer then says he " Of all the times that I've been burned by now you'd think I'd have learned that it's who you look like not who you are". To me it seems like he is saying he keeps trying to make other people happy and keeps getting his heart broken over and over.
