I don't see how people are seeing this as a love song. The girl seems to be using him for material goods; while he's glad to have her, she's glad to tell everyone how he's buying things for her. He does seem so happy and so unaware, but you see little hints slipping through. He's going by her say-so in the relationship and being lead about by the heartstrings, but really he's just being used.
So there is a much darker tone to this song than it would initially appear. I find myself feeling uneasy about this song on the chanteur's behalf sometimes! But the intro and theme in the guitar playing is awesome, of course.
