Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Got a fine lookin' woman, lives way across the town
Yes, she's a fine lookin' woman, lives way across the town
Whenever i see that woman
My love comes tumbling down

She's a fine lookin' woman and she soothes my worried soul
She's a fine lookin' woman and she soothes my worried soul
Well, she put the lights out on me
Then i gave up all my gold

She's a fine lookin' woman and she shakes all the men
Yeah, fine lookin' woman and the meat shakes on the bone




Well, every time she shakes mine
Then all my body's gone
