This is one of my favorite Clapton songs. He's talking/singing to a woman he's been in a relationship with. He truly loves this woman, and knows that she loves him, too. He's had "bad love" in the past (bad relationships) and he doesn't want to suffer anymore.
He also acknowledges he's a lucky man, as there are some men on this earth who will never have a woman like his. He knows how that feels, because he used to be one of those people.
Of course, the Crybaby Wah pedal is an Eric Clapton staple in this song that makes it even more enjoyable to listen to. Way to go, "Slowhand"!
