Happy Woman
Gabe Dixon Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ooh and all the room is high
Drinks are flowin'
And I'm just hopin' to catch your eye
Rare diseases
Swimming in seas of love
A plastic Jesus
Could be a sign from above?
My door is open
Won't you come follow
One thing's for sure
Gonna make you a happy woman
Gonna make you a happy woman
Go ahead then
With your dirty apes and all your thugs
Take it elsewhere, besides
Your broken down gait's makin' me bug
But I see you comin'
From down the hallway
One thing's for sure
Gonna make you a happy woman
Gonna make you a happy woman
Gonna make you a happy woman
Gonna make you a happy woman
Happy Woman
Happy Woman
The lyrics to Gabe Dixon Band's song "Happy Woman" are about a man who is at a party, hoping to catch the eye of a woman he is interested in. He describes the atmosphere of the party as lively and upbeat, with music playing and drinks flowing. The lyrics also touch on the idea of finding love in unexpected situations, comparing it to finding a rare disease in the sea of love. The lines "A plastic Jesus, Could be a sign from above?" suggest that even something seemingly insignificant, like a plastic religious icon, could be a sign of something greater.
The second verse takes a bit of a darker turn, as the singer seems to be addressing someone he doesn't like. He refers to the person as having "dirty apes and all your thugs" and tells them to "take it elsewhere." However, the person he is actually interested in then enters the room, and he reiterates his desire to make her a happy woman.
Overall, the song seems to be about the search for love and happiness. The singer is at a party, looking for love, and seems to be confident that he can make the woman he is interested in happy. The lyrics are relatively vague, but they convey a sense of optimism and hopefulness.
