I disagree. The song says (IMHO() that an individual loves another for their heart, way of being, without any of the devices and meretricious behaviors that are the usual criteria for social affection. In this respect it is quite a deep song, because ity implies that one can see deeper into another human being than the physical. The song does not sound sour to me, nor joyless, but quiet and intimate.
