I've always taken it to mean that she LOVES the guy, but she doesn't want to admit it. Sounds like her lover is in love with her already and she's afraid to love him because she doesn't want to be hurt again. it's a tongue-in-cheek comment

My Interpretation

@My Interpretation Yes, this! Finally! She has feelings for a guy but for whatever reason she is afraid to get emotionally close. She isnt singing to the guy, but singing to herself, maybe rationalizing in her mind.

@edenroseYes! I completely agree. I think you are spot on. Or maybe she knows she loves him, but for whatever reasons she is afraid to take the plunge, and the song is her talking to herself and rationalizing.
