Or maybe you still love it, but now you have a different perspective.

I have no idea how anyone who's even vaguely tuned into that song thinks it's romantic.

Heck, there a folks out there that still insist that "The Boys of Summer" is about baseball.

Since you've gone, I've been lost without a trace
I dream at night, I can only see your face
I look around, but it's you I can't replace
I feel so cold, and I long for your embrace
I keep crying, baby, baby please
Oh, can't you see
You belong to me?
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take?

I understand the full lyrics, but most songs generally default to romanticism. If you're not paying attention it's easy to misinterpret.

If you're not paying attention, you hear the "I'm watching you" part, which is creepy as fuck.
