Breaking my back just to know your name

I'm breaking my back just to know your name
But he...

I don't think he is gay. I think this is about a guy (the narrarator) who went out with a girl named Jenny. And then after they broke up he went out with a girl (in Febuary) to get back at her. And now the narrarator is saying that Jenny is in a relationship that seems a lot like the one he was in (in Febuary). Meaning that Jenny is going out with someone just to make him jealous.

Well, here goes.

If you're familiar with the terms "uke"(receiving male) and "seme"(dominant male), then it's easy to understand.
The narrator had a boyfriend who was the "uke" one in the relationship, a.k.a. "girlfriend".
The guy the narrator likes was involved with the "girlfriend" too, but in their case the "girlfriend" was a "seme".
Now the narrator gives an invitation to the guy he likes, kind of suggesting that he can give pleasure to any "uke"(I've got potential).

Not sure if you understood anything :-s

My interpretation of the song is that he once went out with a girl, who he has now split up with.

He has now found out that the ex-girlfriend is going out with a new bloke and to save him feeling jealous somebody told him that the girl's new boyfriend is feminine and weak etc. And looks like a girlfriend he once had.

He is now saying that he is better than this new bloke and can do so much better himself. But even with this he still gets upset and lets it ruin he's night out.

I agree with the lesbian interpretation.
