I believe this line refers to roles women may play in sex to try to stroke the superficial ego of a male whose primary interest is feeling like some macho stud while the woman feels her own desires unfulfilled. This is why you've got to find your own "sugar."
The song makes me wonder at whom she is angrier. Herself, for putting herself in this situation, or the guy for accepting or wanting it?
So, now that I've thought about the song more, I like it. I like the bitter tone and the self-loathing that spurs her to stop doing a disservice to herself and start feeling deserving of sweetness.

I interpreted the tone as more frusterated then angry but yeah. Accurate interpretation.
I've always liked her voice and the very repetitive structure. I guess in retrospect I CAN understand how people would not like it but its great to me. Feels right. Seems pure.
