I love this song (love the whole lp!). I like the open-ended-ness of the last part, "you're all right". Could be a confirmation of the person's character - not everyone is suited for marriage and some fellas just plain love women ... or, it could be more ironic. We've all known at least one guy like the eternal skirt-chaser in this song - who is so guided by their libido that it controls their life and gives them poor judgment. And these fellas tell themselves it's all good and they're "all right" in their 30's, 40's, 50's and so on. The idea being that perhaps it's not "all right" and there is some irony in this line. The casanova complex has been written to death, but the consensus is that there are self-esteem issues at root with this personality, especially if it's not outgrown and continues into middle age.
Yet another great song from the Kinks, you could read this more than one way, and there's no "right" interpretation
