What I love about this song is that it doesn't go that far beyond the love-as-affliction metaphor already present in so many love-songs-by-numbers. By taking it to its natural conclusion, this song should be hilarious and, as you say, snarky, but it manages to be incredibly tender and beautiful at the same time. One of my favourites.
