Agree the lyrics aren't bad-- they create a tension that makes the song listenable. Also, you wouldn't hear many other bands in 1965 singing "I get high". I think it sounds right in place on the American Rubber Soul. In particular, it has a similar vibe to "Michelle" and "In My Life", and fits well with the sexual frustration theme of several other Rubber Soul songs from "You Won't See Me" to "Girl".
