Lord
The White Stripes Lyrics

Send me an angel down
I need divine intervention or guidance to help me cope with a tough situation.

Can't spare no angel
I'm not in a position to help others who may be struggling as well.

Will spare you a teasin' brown
I may not be able to offer much, but I can at least give you some playful banter or flirtation.

Well that new way of loving
I've discovered a different approach to love or relationships that I find to be more fulfilling or satisfying.

Swear to god it must be best
I'm confident that this new way of loving is superior to previous approaches I've tried.

For these Detroit women won't let mr. jack white rest
Women in Detroit are pursuing me relentlessly and making it difficult for me to have peace or solitude.

There's a crowd on the corner
There's a large gathering of people congregating and I'm curious about the reason for it.

Wonder what could it be
I am unsure what the cause of the crowd's presence is and cannot deduce it on my own.

One thing but the womens is trying to get to me
The only thing that could possibly draw a large group of women together in this way is the pursuit of me specifically.

I went down to the station
I made my way to the train station for reasons unknown.

Suitcase in my hand
I am carrying a suitcase with me, implying that I am either leaving or arriving somewhere.

All the women run cryin'
The women present at the station are emotionally distraught about my departure or arrival.

Mr. Jack, won't you be my man?
The women are begging me to enter into a romantic relationship with them.

Well there was three women
I recently had to choose between three women for a potential romantic partner.

Yellow, brown and black
The three women I had to choose between have varying skin colors and were likely from different backgrounds.

Take the mayor of Detroit to pick which one I like
Choosing between the three women was such a difficult decision that it would have been easier to have someone in a position of power make the choice for me.

One of 'em Amtrak yellow
One of the women had bright yellow skin, possibly indicating a mixed-race background or a recent trip on the Amtrak train.

One of 'em Detroit brown
One of the women had typical brown skin for a resident of Detroit.

But that southwest dark skin sure to turn my damper down
Despite having difficulty choosing between the original three women, I recognize that someone with dark skin from the southwest United States is not a romantic match for me.

Why, ticket agent ticket agent
I'm calling out to the person working at the train station's ticket counter.

Where did my baby go
I seem to have lost track of someone I care about or have a romantic interest in.

Tell me what she looks like
I'm seeking help remembering the physical attributes of the person who has captured my attention.

I'll tell you what road she's on
If you can help me identify the person I'm looking for, I'll be able to determine where they are headed or what their plans are.

Well she's a long tall mama
The person I'm looking for is quite tall and striking in appearance.

A mile and a half from the ground
The person I'm looking for is significantly taller than average.

She's a tailor-man mama
The person I'm seeking is skilled at clothing design and construction, indicating perhaps a fashion designer or seamstress.

And she ain't no hand me down
The person I'm seeking has an independent spirit and would never settle for someone else's hand-me-downs or leftovers.

Well I used to say
In the past, I held a particular belief or viewpoint.

Married women
Women who are already legally wed to another person.

Sweetest women never born
Despite their marital status, I once believed that married women were the most desirable or appealing type of woman available.

You better change that thing
I have recently realized that my prior belief about married women was flawed or misguided and needs to be revised.

You better leave married women alone
My revised outlook advises me to avoid pursuing romantic relationships or affairs with women who are already married.

Take my advice let married women
Based on my own experiences and reflections, I now strongly recommend against becoming romantically involved with married women.

Boy let 'em be
Instead of trying to woo a married woman, I advise other men to simply let them live their lives and stay out of trouble.

Cause their husband will grab ya
If a man tries to interfere with a married woman, her husband may take violent action to defend his spouse and their union.

Beat your ragged ass to cedar street
If a man gets involved with a married woman and her husband finds out, he will likely physically harm the interloper in some way, causing significant injury or suffering.

I got two women
I am currently romantically involved with two different women.

You can't tell 'em apart
These two women are very similar in appearance, personality, or other important traits that make them difficult to distinguish from each other.

I got one in my bosom
One of the women I'm involved with is physically close to me and has a significant emotional attachment to me.

And the other is in my heart
The other woman I'm romantically involved with is not as physically close to me, but I deeply care about her and am very emotionally invested in our relationship.

Well that one in my bosom
Of the two women I'm with, the one in my bosom is the closer of the two.

She live in Tennessee
The woman I'm physically closest with is currently residing in the state of Tennessee.

Well that one in my heart
Of the two women I'm involved with, the one in my heart is the one I hold dearer or am more deeply committed to.

She don't give a darn for me
Despite my strong feelings for her, the woman in my heart does not reciprocate those feelings and is not as invested in our relationship as I am.

I'm gonna tell you pretty mama
I am about to reveal to my romantic partner my true identity or deepest emotions.

Exactly who I am
I'm going to reveal my true self, including aspects of myself that may have been hidden or kept secret in the past.

When I walk in that front door
I'm planning on entering somebody's home or other private space soon.

And hear that back door slam
The slamming of a door in the distance signals that there may be some sort of danger or hidden threat inside the building.
