Dirty Dancing
Wendy Fraser Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She rides the night next to me
She leads me through moonlight
Only to burn me with the sun
She's taken my heart
But she doesn't know what she's done
Feel her breath on my face
Can't look in her eyes
She's out of my league
Just a fool to believe
I have anything she needs
She's like the wind
I look in the mirror and all I see
Is a young old man with only a dream
Am I just fooling myself
That she'll stop the pain
Living without her
I'd go insane
Feel her breath on my face
Her body close to me
Can't look in her eyes
She's out of my league
Just a fool to believe
I have anything she needs
She's like the wind
Feel your breath in my face
Your body close to me
Can't look in your eyes
You're out of my league
Just a fool to believe (just a fool to believe)
She's like the wind
Just a fool to believe
She's like the wind
Just a fool to believe (just a fool to believe)
She's like the wind
Just a fool to believe
She's like the wind
Just a fool
She's like the wind
The song "She's Like the Wind" by Wendy Fraser is a love song with a deep, emotional meaning. The lyrics describe a woman who is like the wind, always moving and barely touchable. The singer is deeply in love with her, but he knows that he cannot have her. She is leading him through the night and seducing him with her beauty, but in the end, she burns him with the sun. The singer is aware that he is just a fool to believe that he has anything that she needs. She is out of his league, and he knows he will never have her.
The second part of the song is more introspective. The singer is looking in the mirror and realizing that he is an old man with only a dream of the woman he loves. He is questioning whether he is just fooling himself by believing that she will help him stop the pain. He knows that he cannot live without her, and the idea of being without her drives him insane. These lyrics underline the depth of the singer's emotions, and how strongly he feels his love for the woman.
From a musical standpoint, "She's Like the Wind" is a beautiful ballad with a slow tempo and a dreamy atmosphere. The melody is simple and catchy, and the use of synth gives the song a nostalgic, romantic feel. The vocals are smooth and soothing, perfectly conveying the sense of longing and desire inherent in the lyrics.
Some interesting facts about the song include the fact that it was written and produced by Patrick Swayze, who also sang the demo version of the song. In fact, Swayze had originally intended to sing the song in the movie Dirty Dancing, but it was later decided that it would be better suited to female vocals. Wendy Fraser was chosen to sing the song instead. "She's Like the Wind" became a massive hit, reaching #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and #1 on the Adult Contemporary chart. The song's popularity helped to cement the success of the Dirty Dancing movie, which remains a beloved classic to this day.

As I sense your presence so near, I'm overcome with the realization that you're too good for me. Yet, I can't help but believe in your essence and how it moves me like the wind.
Just a fool to believe She's like the wind Just a fool to believe (just a fool to believe) She's like the wind Just a fool to believe She's like the wind Just a fool She's like the wind
I'm aware it might be foolish to think we can be together, but I can't deny the sway she has over me - it's like she's the very wind that powers me onward, and I'll never stop trying to be with her.
