Apparently it's a love song.

But I always heard it as an old geezer singing to an ex-stripper when they were both in their 80s. Everyone adored her in her youth, but he was the only one left who was still overwhelmed.

It fits in the context with the rest of the song, I actually get the song though. He is saying someone has disappointed everyone, bet he still digs them.
Translation: No one else could possibly love you more than I do right now.
