Native speaker’s answer

Rebecca

Adore means to like 'to love and respect greatly', but in this context, it means to 'like very much'. Meaning that the 'lover' who Selena is mentioning in this song 'very much liked' being put first and probably used it to his advantage or he might have taken the affection for granted. Ex: I adored my mom.
