It takes a woman's perspective. I hadn't even thought about the hidden meaning here. You are right though.
The Outfield - Voices Of Babylon
The lyrics... still relevant:
Hit the message I can hear you calling
No one's going anywhere tonight
We conceived a modern generation
It was free but now we pay the price
We're the victims of our own creation
Chasing rainbows that are painted black or white
Watch the struggle of our own temptation
Instincts barely keeping us alive
Back to the rhythm that we all came from
Voices of Babylon, streets of London
Back to the people that we know so well
A space in time removed too soon to tell
Just a product of imagination
Patiently we wait for our turn to come
A small collection of the population
By the time our number's up, we could be gone
Back to the rhythm that we all came from
Voices of Babylon, streets of London
Back to the people that we know so well
A space in time removed too soon to tell
Back to the rhythm that we all came from
Voices of Babylon streets of London town
I've listened to the song a couple of more times. Yes, you can draw that inference. In a broader sense, there are 'other things', other 'more than word' things, one can do to show love, more than just the physical erotic love thing. So...It really is just a beautiful song! But they are so saying "put out or get out."

According to Nuno Bettencourt, the song is described as a warning that the phrase ‘I love you’ was becoming meaningless, stating:
The meaning is definitely 'open ended, but I do like your interpretation.
I found this, while searching, nice. Would go well on a jazz guitar playlist.
