Hey, most love songs are not about love at all. Romantic love (between Man and Woman) is a metaphor for our relationship to Society, and perhaps even to the world. Lyrics like "I think about you every night but you don't want me" can mean things like "there is so much that we want from the world, but, beyond our control, we can't have it, even though we pretend it is in our control". It's actually more than a metaphor: a lot of times those feeling that people feel to be love are really other things entirely. Anyway, it often makes for powerful lyrics.
Sorry. I'm obsessed with the topic.
