The lyrics to The Jimi Hendrix Experience's song Foxy Lady speak of a woman who is alluring, enchanting, and captivating to the singer. He refers to her as a "cute little heart breaker" and a "sweet little love maker." The singer expresses his desire to make the woman his own and take her home, but assures her that he won't do her any harm. He repeats the phrase "you got to be all mine, all mine" to emphasize his possessiveness of her. The chorus is simply "Foxy, foxy" repeated several times.
The song is essentially about the singer's infatuation with this woman and his determination to make her his. The repetition of words such as "foxey" and "mine" provide a hypnotic quality to the song, as if the singer is trying to persuade the woman to give in to him. The guitar riff and solo also add to the seductive nature of the song.
