The narrator is a guy looking at his ex-lover fall in love with another guy. He realizes just how happy his former girlfriend looks now that she’s fallen in true love. He feels sorry for himself that he wasn’t the one to make her happy, but part of him realizes it wasn’t meant to be.
A video — Strait's first — was issued for the song. The video aired on The Nashville Network, CMT and GAC.
In January 1984, "You Look So Good in Love" was George Strait's third No. 1 song on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart.[1]
