He fears that she may be lying to him and is unsure whether he should trust her or not. The chorus of the song repeats the idea that their relationship is only physical and lacks real love or emotional intimacy. Despite the girl's efforts to convince him to stay, the singer knows that their arrangement isn't working for either of them.
