It's comedic, originally with the woman seducing the man in the duet. I love any of the classic recordings. "At least I'm gonna say that I tried" tells me that he or she, depending on the version, is in fact only feigning refusal. That was a thing before Tinder hookups came about.
The original one from Neptune's Daughter:

The New Version we all liked. From the Netflix movie Hard Love which was cute.
That’s adorable! I’ve never seen or heard that version!
None. I remember asking my mom when I was about 5 why he doesn't just let her leave? It seemed like he was a bully, and it has annoyed me for well over 40 yrs. I stayed out of the "political" talk about it, because Idk if I agree with either side, but all I know is that it's annoys me
even LADY GAGA has covered it.
Wrong choices. The Greatest.
