She's The Woman
Van Halen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A little low on cash
But I'm high on luck
I wanna be your knight In shining pick-up truck
With a Chevy for my summer home
Let's get the party started
It's looking like the city towed
My other apartment
She got a doorbell sign that said
"Bring it or don't ring it"
She's the woman (go on)
She's the woman (woo)
She's the woman
She's the woman

Fate is my pimp
But she was cool
Said if you're doin' business with me, honey
What does that make you?
Some Casablanca Gin joint
You're a nervous wreck
Your I.Q. plummets fourteen points
Her thunder thong around your neck

The song ain't dirty
It's really just the way we sing it (sing it)
She's the woman (sing it)
She's the woman
She's the woman
She's the woman (woo)

She wanted something to regret
Tomorrow morning
This suburban garage-a-trois
Was worth exploring
Yeah dreams come true
But it remains to be seen
By the time mine usually do
It's no longer me, oh

She got a doorbell sign
"You better bring it, or don't ring it"
She's the woman (woo)




She's the woman
She's the woman

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Van Halen's song "She's The Woman" are about pursuing a woman who may not fit the traditional mold of what society would consider the ideal mate. The singer in the song is low on cash but high on luck and wants to be a knight in shining pick-up truck for this woman. He describes her as having a doorbell sign that reads "Bring it or don't ring it," which suggests that she is not interested in anyone who is not willing to give their all to the relationship. Despite her unconventional nature, the singer is drawn to her and refers to her as "The Woman."


The second verse of the song portrays the woman as someone who is confident and not intimidated by the singer's "fate," which he refers to as his pimp. She challenges him to question his business dealings and identity, which suggests that she is not afraid to challenge societal norms. The verse also includes a reference to a Casablanca Gin joint, which could suggest that the woman is exotic or mysterious. The singer refers to her wearing a "thunder thong" around his neck, which is a playful and provocative image.

@izzyizborn "Thou who preacheth and not knoweth the Bible fooleth noone but himselfeth. Did you learn anything, fellow sinner?"

Don't you know I'm a Christian and not a iew? Christians do not follow the ceremonial and civil laws told of in the Old Testament.

Even the born again make mistakes and sin. The difference is they do all they can to not sin, and they quickly apologize to God when they make that mistake.

Even if I wasn't born again, and I told you what the bible says not to do, being a sinner wouldn't make the bible any less true.

Why would anybody lead people away from God? Don't you know that helps the people who put up the Georgia Guidestones? The 1st plan on those stones is to disappear 93% of the world's population. If you make it into the final 7%, it will not be fun for you. Imagine living where there is no trust between people. Imagine living knowing that Luciferians hate humanity, are probably all guay, and will probably even keep keilling people until there is only 1 childless billionaire Rothschild left. Their leader (Satan) also hates humanity, which is probably why the elites hate humanity too. Former elite banker Ronald Bernard said they hate humanity.

planetmaxwell01
