Why can't it be a collection of love songs, and nothing else?
Why can't it be a book to prove a point. Here was a man who had everything and he talks about a lot of it in the Song.
Solomon performed and experiment (wine, women, and song, if it feels good do it) and came to the following conclusion.
Eccl 1:14 (KJV) I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.
We could save ourselves a lot of problem's by learning from Solomon's mistakes.
