Eve
McAuley Schenker Group Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I 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
Her hair is wild like her body moves
Let me put you in the picture
She does all the right things
Anywhere it seems
She's the new girl in my dreams

Ooh! What does, she does it
Until you can't stop her now!
Can't stop her now!
She does it in a way
Like no other woman

When Eve came along
Woman, found her man to carry on

When God made Woman for Man
This little old devil said
I'll take what I can
'Cause Adam he don't understand
Eve is my woman
This devil is her man

It's a dirty job, but it's a gift from God
I know I can't refuse her
Under his command
I'm in the palm of her hand
As long as she just understands
Ooh! She makes me feel
Like I'm the first lover she ever had
(And that ain't bad)
'Cause when God made man
He knew what he was doin'

When Eve came along
Woman, found her man to carry on

I 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
But she just can't cope
'Cause she ain't got no hope
When she's up against
This little devil

Oh! When we're together
We 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, found her man to carry on lovin'
The world began
With a woman and a man





Oh! It's a miracle

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to McAuley Schenker Group's song "Eve" are quite complex, as they blend together themes of seduction, temptation, and power dynamics. The singer sets his sights on a new target, a woman who is described as pretty and with long legs, and he is determined to hit his target by seducing her. However, what sets this woman apart from others is that she does everything in a way that's uniquely her own, and it's this individuality that fascinates the singer. He compares her to Eve, the first woman in the Bible, who was famously created by God to be a companion to Adam. However, the devil saw an opportunity to take advantage of the situation and tempted Eve to eat from the forbidden Tree of Knowledge, which led to the fall of humanity. In the song, the singer takes on the role of the devil, who sees Eve as "his woman," someone he can use to his own advantage.
