Deteriorated Philosophies

This is a classical example of a deteiorated song lyric structuration:
"I Like You" by Donovan

You're such a good friend
I'd hate to have you as an enemy
From the first time we met
I knew you were the one to set me free

You liked me
I liked you
You liked me
I liked you

Holding my heart in the palm of your hand
Headed out west for the Indian lands
Dreams of the golden boy tangling your mind
Burning your body to fill in the time
Sad city sister on Avenue of Palm
I knew naively that I was your man
I followed after with heavy heart of lead
Just like a man who walks, yet is dead
I asked you to dance
And you wondered and you thought you might
So we went and took a chance
On the cat walk in the cold star light

I held you
You felt me
I touched you
You kissed me

This is an extremely offensive song shadowed by a very pleasant melody. As I was growing up, I appreciated many songs such as this; but, I hated the lyrics I liked the melody of the voice however.

This song is offensive in many ways:

[1] "I'd hate to have you as an enemy": Why would he mention such a negative thing unless he was expecting a negative relationship to develope due to his attitude and character?

[2] "I Knew you were the one to set me free": He is relying on her to burden herself to "Set him free". That is extremely disrespectfull.

And numerous others. In fact, this entire song s based on extreme negativity of Dreams, burning her body by drugs, "Sad city sister" condition [He used her for his own entertainment while she is weakened by sadness], his confessed "naivity", walking as if "Dead" [That is extreme negativity], taking a chance dancing [and lost to emotional destabilization. They kissed]; and, falling in "Love" after all of that continual barrage of negativity. That is self destructive.
