This song can take on a variety of different view points. First, it can come from a jealous boyfriend who sees his girl drifting away, spending suspicious amounts of time with another guy, losing interest in you ("You love him, and you can't resist"). Guys aren't stupid. They know when this is happening to them, and this song really puts it perfectly.
Or it can come from the outsider himself. I fell for a girl in high school who had a boyfriend, she was really sweet, but completely misguided and sort of depressed. She led me on for a whole year, always talking about how crappy her boyfriend was and how she was in love with me and would bring up ridiculous ideas about how we would run away together (fantastical idealism, what do you expect), constantly breaking up and getting back together with him in the same week/day (typical high school crap) blah blah. I liked to believe what she said but this song spoke what was really going on, what I knew was the truth the whole time. No matter how much of a jerk her boyfriend was, "(she) loved him, and no one else."
Adore was one of those albums that got me through times of extreme teen angst, and I will never forget how therapeutic it really was.
