Just a fantastic rock song from Waaay back in the day.
It's worth noting that the guitar on this classic is by one of London's favorite studio players of that time, a kid named Jimmy Page. His hook really makes the song.
Of course Van Morrison can infuse even the most ordinary lyrics with meaning and emotion. These aren't really deep but you have to like the fact that while our hero pines for his girl and is clearly in a bad way watching her with "another guy" he is still clearheaded enough to realize that the sweet nothings she is whispering are just lies "exactly like she told me too".

Or at least he wants them to be lies :)
