Awesome, awesome song.
I think it's about a girl who's dating a guy who she knows is trouble--it's obvious that he's a player and doesn't treat her right, but she can't stop loving him.
Here are some other interpretations of the song:

You and your museum of lovers
The precious collection you've housed in your covers
My simpleness threatened by my own admission
- these lines are talking about how the guy has had sex with many other women. and how she is scared because she is falling for him and doesnt know wearther or not he is faithfull.
And the bags are much to heavey
In my insecure condition
My pregnant mind is fat full with envy again
- Goes to say that there are alot of problems, and how she is insecure and scared, then she is jeloius of all the other women he has had or has.
But I still love to wash in your old bathwather
love to think that you couldn't love another
I can't help it...your my kind of man
- she still loves him no matter what, and loves everything about him, and is so nieve to think that he is a one women kind of guy beucase he is so perfect for her.
Wanted and adored by attractive women
Bountiful selecton at your discretion
I know I'm diving into my own destruction.
- There are many women who want the guy, he has such a big selection of other women that he can have anytime he wants, and she knows it and know that he can and probly will end up hurting her.
So why do we choose the boys that are naughty?
I don't fit in so why do you want me?
I know I can't tame you... but I just keep trying
- why do all girls like the naughty type of guy who will end up hurting them. And she goes on to say how she doesnt fit in society and doesnt understand why he likes her at all. She knows that he wont be faithful or be a good guy but yet she still loves him and trys to make him into a good person.
'Cause i love to wash in your old bathwather
Love to think that you couldn't love another
I'm on your list with all your other women
But I still love to wash in your old bathwater
You make me feel like you couln't love another
I can't help it...your my kind of man.
- She loves him even tho there are many other women or have been. he makes her feel that is so faithful even tho he may not be. but yet no matter what she still loves him.
Why do the good girls always want the bad boys?
- that is pretty self explanatory
So I pacify problems with kisses and cuddles
Diligently doubtful through all kinds of trouble
Then I find myself choking on all my contradictions
- she pretends that the problems arent as bad as they are or arent there at all. she doesnt notice the problems betweeen them she blinded by love in other words, then later she ends up hurting beucase of everything that he has done.
Cause I still love to wash in your old bathwather
Love to think that I couldn't love another
Share a toothbrush...your my kind of man
I still love to wash in your old bathwather
Make me feel like I couldn't love another
I can't help it...you're my kind of man.
- She loves him still and will no matter what, she caouldnt love anyone but him they share a toothbrush wich means a since of faithfulness and being commited in a realtionship.
No I can't help myself
I can't help myself
I still love to wash in your old bathwater.
- she cant help but love him and everything about him and even tho he causes her pain she still loves him.

I found this one pretty interesting:
"This song is about gwen in love with gavin, but what bothers her is his past. "you and your museam of lovers" she doesn't like the fact that he had a lot of lovers. "and i still love to wash in your old bathwater" meaning she still loves to look back and bring up his past."

I think it's basically saying that the girl is just one of the girls that this guy is hanging out with, but she wants to be the only one. And she knows that she should leave him because it's obvious that she isn't the only one, but she loves him so much that she tries to convince herself that she is the only one. I'm pretty sure that's what it's about...hope it helped =]
