I see things completely different than Jack above. This is not a deep song and the singer is not at all in love. He says so point blank: 1) he does'nt need somebody/anybody 2) he's not lovestruck 3) he's not ready to change to the (good) person she sees 4) he doesn't care (as proved to himself when he's kissing her).
and in addition he has "running shoes" to leave at any moment.
She is in the "just fell in love" phase where the lover sees no wrong in the beloved. Simple as that.
The above comments are regardless of who wrote the the song. But when you consider the fact that Justin Currie wrote it, my interpretation is strengthened ten fold. His songs are about running, cheating, not committing, being gone in the morning never to see her again, etc., etc.
Currie's strength is writing pop melodies and hooks. That is the only significant strength of this song. The lyrics appear typical autobiographical Currie which is a very sad way to live.
