Lyrics

Well, I've been out on

Expressing the duration spent outside

The street since yesterday

Being on the streets continuously since the previous day

Been looking for

In search of

The woman that got away

The woman who left or escaped

A long-legged thing

Describing a tall woman

With a red dress on

Wearing a striking red dress

The kind of woman

Referring to a captivating, irresistible type of woman

You can't leave alone

A woman one finds impossible to part with

Listen, if you see her,

Requesting to send her in his direction if found

Send her my way

Searching for the woman who left

Looking for the woman

Continuing the quest for the departed woman

That got away

Recalling the last sighting of her

The last time I seen her

She appeared attractive during the last encounter

She was looking good

Feeling a mutual understanding with her

I had a feeling

She escaped or slipped away during the night

That she understood

Expressing the need to find and treat her well

She slipped through my fingers

Desire to ensure her presence and fidelity

In the middle of the night

Prioritizing caring for her appropriately

I've gotta find my woman

Asking to redirect her towards him

And treat her right

Seeking the woman who left the last time

Listen, if you see her,

Hoping for another chance with her

Send her my way

Desiring to keep her close this time

Looking for the woman

A determination to retain her and not let her go

That got away

Envisioning a protective measure once reunited

If I ever get my hands

Expressing the intent to secure her presence

On that woman again

To confine her within his space

I'm gonna lock my door

Ensuring she stays without traveling

And keep her in

Deciding to keep her from following

She won't do no travelling,

To safeguard the relationship and leave together

Won't follow me 'round

To commit to her and move away together

I'm gonna keep my woman

Choosing to prioritize the relationship and leave the current place

And leave town

To relocate together and start afresh
