Lyrics
I saw her walkin' down the street
I observed her walking down the street.
My heart jumped up and missed a beat
My heart raced and skipped a beat.
Boy, she looked sharper than an arrow
She appeared exceptionally attractive.
Her skirt too short and really narrow
Her skirt was too short and tight.
No risk, no gain
Expressing the idea that taking risks is necessary for success.
But I must have made a pass too plain
I made a pass at her, but it might have been too direct.
Her hand came flyin' and it really was a shame
She reacted negatively, and it was regrettable.
Well, I guess she was throwin' her china
Suggesting that she might be displaying anger or frustration.
With a steamy temper no one could stop
Describing her fiery temper that nobody could control.
Yes, I guess she was throwin' her china
Reiterating the idea that she is expressing her emotions strongly.
Too sexy when she blows her top
Highlighting her attractiveness when she is upset.
Next day I saw her in the park
I encountered her again the next day in the park.
If I was a dog I would have barked
Comparing oneself to a dog, emphasizing attraction.
In a pink bikini by the lake
She was wearing a revealing pink bikini by the lake.
Her perfect body lay to bake
Describing her perfect body sunbathing.
No risk, no pain
Reiterating the idea that taking risks may lead to pain.
And I must have blocked her sun away
Implied that blocking her sun angered her.
Cold ice came flyin' and it landed on my face

Well, I guess she was throwin' her china
Repeating the theme of her expressing anger.
With a steamy temper no one could stop
Highlighting her unstoppable and intense temper.
Yes, I guess she was throwin' her china
Reiterating her attractive demeanor when upset.
Too sexy when she blows her top
Emphasizing her sexiness when she loses her temper.
Lyin' in the sunshine by the lake
Observing her lying in the sunshine, causing the narrator distress.
This girl is givin' me a heartache
