Dum Dum GirlDum the dum dum girl

The dum dum girl
the dum dum girl
the dum dum girl
the dum dum girl
Another sigh with no regret
more coins inside her hands.
One time to own respect
now mercenary she stands.
I'm no boy stealing pennies from the poor

Break it down canY you see she's.
Dum the dum dum girl
the dum dum girl
the dum dum girl
. ..
Another hand up on her hair
time probably erased.
Distate and so he's leff where guilt is out of place.
I'm no boy stealing pennies from the poor

  Dum Dum Girl


She is shallow, mean, and materialistic.  She dumped him for a guy who she thinks will better serve her selfish purposes.  The narrator is trying to convince himself he's not the loser because he retains his integrity and she does not.  Besides, her new lover will come to the same grief as the narrator, who came to the same grief as the lover before him. 

Dum-dum is an informal name for an exploding bullet.  This may indicate she is a destructive person, and may also be concurrent with a play on the word "dumb," as in stupid.

That would be my guess.  The lyrics don't give you a hell of a lot to go on!
