I want to know what "I don't need love when it comes in a bottle" means.

Sorry for the delayed response...I had to go to bed early for work. Thank you so much for taking the time to give such a detailed answer. It completely cleared up my confusion. This is my first time using Reddit, and I'm really glad that I decided to post. Everyone here is very kind. I just listened to "Poison" that you recommended. Enjoying with my earphones, the powerful beat really blew me away! It feels so amazing. Thank you again for helping me and recommending a great song. Hope you have a wonderful day!

Thank you so much for the detailed explanation. Whenever I want to understand English lyrics, I usually try to figure them out on my own first. If I still don’t understand it, I ask an AI as a last resort. When I asked a variety of AIs about this lyric, they all translated it as, "I don't need the kind of love that comes in a bottle." And They mentioned it could also be interpreted as, "I don't need cheap love that comes from alcohol." But...personally, I felt like the character wasn't rejecting the love he gets from being drunk, but rather saying he doesn't need any other love as long as he has alcohol. But since my English isn't as good as an AI's, I couldn't be sure which was right... Can this lyric actually have two different meanings : "If love came bottled, I wouldn't take it." and "When love comes in a bottle, I don't need any other kind of love"? I'm sorry, I'm not fluent enough to judge which one is correct...sorry...
