Just a great mid 80s pop rock song. While it wasn't cool to admit it then, Brian Adams first (or a least first big album) was a great one. Loved all the songs that made it to the radio from it.
I tend to see the song as @tall Andrew and @stormgirl do. The singer feels mildly guilty for cheating on his girlfriend/wife but not guilty enough to stop sleeping with the focus of the song or break things off in his current relationship.
I like what @MaryC says but I'm not really sure I see it as she does. I suspect that chasing after the guitar made for a more MTv friendly video. This was still the early days of MTv and I suspect they may have been more cautious as to what was put on.
