Drug Store Woman
A Natural Love: Embracing the Drug Store Woman's Simple Elegance
Lyrics
Yeah
Expressing affirmation or agreement
All I want to know
Desire for information or understanding
The drug store girl
Referring to a woman associated with a drug store
Every time you see her
Highlighting the frequency of encountering the drug store girl
She is in the drug store
Emphasizing her location in the drug store
Buying lipstick and powder
Describing her actions of purchasing beauty products
All that makeup und that stuff
Listing various makeup and beauty items
Nylon and hose
Specifically mentioning nylon and hose as part of her purchases
All that précis stuff
Referring to the collection of delicate and refined items
I want that kind of woman
Expressing a desire for a woman who indulges in such items
I want that kind of woman
-When I come home
Describing a scenario where everything is prepared upon returning home
My dinner is ready
-My bathwater is ready
-Everything is ready
-She sitten down
Depicting the drug store girl's relaxed demeanor and concern for the speaker's well-being
Watchin' TV
-Say daddy, are you tired?
-I say yeah
-But when I see you, they goes away
Highlighting the positive impact of seeing the drug store girl
That's what I now want know
Expressing a desire for understanding or clarification
The Drug Store girl
Repetition of encountering the drug store girl buying beauty products
Every time you see her
-She buying lipstick and powder
-And all that précis stuff
-The kind of woman I've got
Contrasting the drug store girl with the speaker's everyday woman
Is a ever day girl
Describing the speaker's everyday woman as natural, without using makeup
She don't wear that précis stuff
-Lipstick and powder
-Got a natural woman
Expressing satisfaction with a natural woman
Yeah
-Now
Transition in the lyrics
Drug Store Woman
Expressing a preference for a woman not associated with a drug store
I don't want
-No drug store girl
-No
Reiteration of the rejection of a drug store girl
Yeah
Exclamation or expression of emotion
Ah
Expression of emotion or emphasis
When I come home
Describing the qualities of the speaker's preferred woman
She's always at home
-She isn't on the street
-Both, night and day
-I don't have to eat no
-TV channel
-She had everything ready
-Right down, waiting for me
Emphasizing the readiness of everything for the speaker
Yeah
Expression of determination or preference
I wouldn't have it
Reiteration of the rejection of a drug store girl
No drug store girl
-Every time you see her
Repetition of the drug store girl's actions
She's in the drug store
-Buying makeup and that stuff
-Lipstick and powder
-Yeah
Expression of emotion or emphasis
Oh
