I'm going through a situation right now that really relates to this song. How I inturrperted this song was the singer got involved with a guy who was totally ok with physical stuff (kinda like a friends with benefits deal), but the singer thought that something more could and would come out of this and become an actual relationship. I know alot of people inturrperted "dirty words" as being mean things that the guy was saying, but I took it as being sexual stuff the guy was saying. She then realized that all of his words were just so he could get physical stuff out of her. She was wrapped up in loving him, when all he was thinking about was being sexually involved. So now she's getting out of this situation because she realized it wasn't where she wanted to be. I know it says something different in the lyrics here but I always heard one of the lines as "I'm not turned off to love until it's cheap," meaning she has nothing against love until it's only cheap and physical. Now she's saying she'll be bulletproof, as in she's not going to listen to this guys pretty words without knowing his true intentions behind what he's saying.
