This is about a guy and the girl he's just broken up with. She's a drug addict and alcoholic and had trouble being faithful. She's become a hooker now to feed her drug habit. She drifts into an old hangout -- Rudy's -- where they serve a New York soda fountain drink, made with root beer, vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup. He's with his friends, and they all see her. She knows she's an outcast with the group. The speaker thinks back about how he always came back to her after being gone for a few days. He thinks she's come back to try to hook up with him, and reconfirms in his own mind that he's done with her and doesn't care if he never sees her again because she caused him too much pain.
