Eve
M-S-G Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pretty as a flower
She's got long long legs
Let me tell you
I aim to hit my target through
Her hair is long like a burnin' rose
Let me put you in the picture
She's the new girl in my dreams
Oh! What she does, she does it until you can't stop it now.
(Can't stop her now)
She does it in a way like no other woman
When Eve came along, woman, from a man
To carry on
When God made woman from man
This little ol' devil said I'll take what I can
Cause I know he don't understand
Evil is my woman. This devil is a man
It's a dirty job, but it's a gift from God
I know I can't refuse her
I'm at His command. I'm in the palm of her hand
As long as she just understands
Oh! She makes me feel like I'm the first lover she's ever had
(And that ain't bad)
When God made man, he knew what He was doin'
When Eve came along, woman, from a man
To carry on
When God made woman from man
This little ol' devil said I'll take what I can
Cause I know he don't understand
Evil is my woman. This devil is a man
(Ms Solo)
I've got my sights on a brand new target
Pretty as a flower
She's got long long legs
Let me tell you
I aim to hit my target through
She's a bitch from hell
I know her very well
She put the "E" in Evil
Ah! But she just can't cope
Cause she ain't got no hope
When she's wrapped against this little devil
Oh! I wish the devil would make it last forever and that's a fact
Cause there's a fire that's burnin' inside this little woman
When Eve came along, woman, from a man
To carry on lovin'
The world began with a woman and man
Oh! It's a miracle
When God made woman from man
This little ol' devil said I'll take what I can
Cause I know he don't understand
Evil is my woman. This devil is a man
When God made woman from man
This little ol' devil said I'll take what I can
Cause I know he don't understand
Evil is my woman. This devil is a man
Go! Go, little devil!
Go! Go, little devil!
Go! Go, little devil!
Ooh! This little woman, she don't understand
Go! Go, little devil!
Go! Go, little devil!
Go! Go, little devil!
When God made man, he knew what He was doin'
Go! Go, little devil!
Go! Go, little devil!
Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!
The song "Eve" by M-S-G is a rock song with sexually suggestive lyrics. The song is an exploration of the feminine power and masculinity, as the lyrics describe the singer's obsession with a woman named Eve, who is portrayed as a mix of seductress and devil. The singer sees Eve as his new target and is determined to hit her, expressing his desire for her through graphic imagery of her long legs and hair like a burning rose. He also acknowledges her power over him when he sings, "I'm at his command. I'm in the palm of her hand."
The song also explores the biblical story of Adam and Eve, as the singer refers to Eve as the woman who came along from a man to carry on the world. However, the singer subverts the traditional story by portraying the devil as the one who takes her as his woman. The lyrics are somewhat ambiguous, as it is not clear whether the singer sees himself as the devil or is simply using the devil as a metaphor for his own obsession with Eve.
Overall, "Eve" is a song that explores the themes of desire, power, and masculinity, using a mix of biblical imagery and sexual metaphors to create a dark and moody atmosphere.
