Detroit Girl
Detroit Girl: A Siren in Red and Black
Lyrics
She comes, she goes
Describing the woman's unpredictable presence in the narrator's life
She's never been complacent, and
Highlighting her non-conformist attitude
She comes, she goes
Reiterating the woman's transient nature
She's testing all my patience
Expressing frustration with her testing the narrator's patience
Around here, she's the talk of the town,
She is a subject of gossip in the community
Everyone likes to run their mouth
People enjoy talking about her
Dresses like she's Grosse Pointe money
Describing her fashionable and affluent appearance
Muscle car bumpin Stevie Wonder
She enjoys music, particularly Stevie Wonder, in her powerful car
She's tearing up the streets of Woodward like the Dream Cruise
She drives energetically on Woodward Avenue like the Dream Cruise event
Her smile brings temptation you can't refuse
Her attractive smile is irresistible
Stitch my lips, I'm at a loss for words
The narrator is speechless due to her charm
The way she swings her hips, she's got a lot of nerve
Emphasizing her bold and confident movements
She's got me down bad
The narrator is deeply infatuated with her
Hypnotized and in a trance, yeah
Describing the narrator's captivation and entrancement
She's the best thing from Detroit
Praising her as the best thing to come from Detroit
She'll cut you down with second glances
Suggesting she can be critical with just a glance
She's a Motown classic with a modern twist
Combining Motown style with a contemporary twist
I'm pretty sure that Berry Gordy wrote a song about this
Speculating that a famous songwriter, Berry Gordy, wrote about her
She's headed down to LCA, rockin her brand new Martens
She is heading to Little Caesars Arena in stylish Martens
She's dressed to kill in red and black
She is stunning in red and black attire
She knocks me out
Expressing the narrator's overwhelming admiration
Stitch my lips, I'm at a loss for words
Repeating the narrator's speechlessness
The way she swings her hips, she's got a lot of nerve
Reiterating her alluring hip movements
She's got me down bad,
Reaffirming the narrator's deep infatuation
Hypnotized and in a trance, yeah
Describing the narrator's captivation and entrancement
She's the best thing from Detroit
Reiterating her significance as the best thing from Detroit
She'll cut you down with second glances
Suggesting she can be critical with just a glance
She comes, she goes
Describing her cyclical presence in the narrator's life
She's never been complacent, and
Highlighting her non-conformist attitude
She comes, she goes
Reiterating the woman's transient nature
She's testing all my patience
Expressing frustration with her testing the narrator's patience
She'll tear you down, she'll build you up,
She has the power to both break and build a person
She'll get the best of you
Warning about her ability to challenge and overcome
You'd best proceed with caution, she's not one for being used
Advising caution as she won't tolerate being used
She's a sold-out mag, the angel in a centerfold
Describing her as a highly sought-after figure
She'll tear your heart out just to let you know she's in control
Highlighting her control over emotions and relationships
Stitch my lips, I'm at a loss for words
Repeating the narrator's speechlessness
The way she swings her hips, she's got a lot of nerve
Reiterating her alluring hip movements
She's got me down bad
Reaffirming the narrator's deep infatuation
Hypnotized and in a trance, yeah
Describing the narrator's captivation and entrancement
She's the best thing from Detroit
Emphasizing her significance as the best thing from Detroit
She'll cut you down with second glances
Suggesting she can be critical with just a glance
