Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?
And I love you, baby
And I, and I love you, baby
And I love you, baby
And I, and I love you, baby
And I love you, baby
And I, and I love you
And I love you
An angel has always been thought
To be one of God's most precious works
I guess that's how she had you fooled
'Cause she was an angel in disguise
Hurt and pain could never come from her
So you left me only to find that
Hurt and pain involves her
But now you see your mistakes
And now you see your angel was a fake
But my love was never misplaced
See, baby, my love is true
And most importantly, still, I love you
(Still, I love you)
An angel in disguise she was
But somehow you fell for her
I know she broke your heart that day
And left you in the rain
But still, I love you
An angel in disguise she was
But somehow you fell for her
I know she broke your heart that day
And left you in the rain
But still, I love you
I found it quite strange
The way you said her name
And when you look in her eyes
I see the lust you can't deny
It's more to this than what you said
'Cause in your sleep, you called her name
You say she's just a friend
I knew right then 'cause the rain began, oh-oh
An angel in disguise she was (yeah, yeah, yeah)
But somehow you fell for her (you fell for her)
I know she broke your heart that day (she broke your heart)
And left you in the rain (yeah)
But still, I love you (oh, I love you, baby)
An angel in disguise she was (oh, I'm with you, baby)
But somehow you fell for her (I'm ready for you, baby)
I know she broke your heart that day (and left you in the rain)
And left you in the rain (yeah)
But still, I love you
She seemed so familiar the day that I met her
Who was she foolin'?
I had a clue of what she was doin'
Thoughts of suspicion brought to my attention
I fell in her game, and I'm so lost
Please, stop the rain, oh-ooh
An angel in disguise she was (oh, you hurt me, babe)
But somehow you fell for her (yeah, but I'm still here)
I know she broke your heart that day (still lovin' you)
And left you in the rain
But still, I love you (oh, I might be crazy, babe)
An angel in disguise she was (but I love you, babe)
But somehow you fell for her (somehow you fell)
I know she broke your heart that day (she left you in the rain)
And left you in the rain
But still, I love you
And when my music stops
And when my tears dry
And when the rain ends
My heart will beat again
And when my music stops
And when my tears dry
And when the rain ends
My heart will beat again (ooh baby, oh, darlin')
An angel in disguise she was (I know it hurts)
But somehow you fell for her (oh-ooh)
I know she broke your heart that day (broke your heart, oh)
And left you in the rain
But still, I love you (I love you)
An angel in disguise she was
But somehow you fell for her (somehow you fell for her)
I know she broke your heart that day (she left you in the rain)
And left you in the rain
But still, I love you
I love you (and I love you, baby)
I will never do the things she did (and I, and I love you, baby)
Take your heart and run away with it, no, no (and I love you, baby)
'Cause I really, really love you (still, I love you)
An angel in disguise she was (and I love you, baby)
But somehow you fell for her (and I, and I love you, baby)
I know she broke your heart that day (and I love you, baby)
And left you in the rain
But still, I love you
And I, and I love you, baby
And I love you, baby
And I, and I love you, baby

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
I love it. It means that not everything that shines is gold, but you always have ppl you are reaal with you, and I love, and stay no matter how much you hurt them.
