Lyrics
Long time ago
Refers to a past time
Knew a sweet little lassy
Describes a charming young girl
Hair like fire
Her hair color is vibrant like fire
And a walk kinda sassy
Her way of walking is confidently bold or lively
She had ruby lips
She possesses red-colored lips
And sleazy eyes
Her eyes suggest a seductive or alluring quality
Jungle hips
She has sensual, curvy hips
And Lucy Lucy thighs
Her thighs are described as enticing or captivating
Baby baby take my hand
Asking the girl to take the speaker's hand
Baby baby understand
Requesting the girl to comprehend or acknowledge
Give a little love to your baby
Encouraging giving affection to the speaker's baby
Give a little love to your man
Asking for affection towards the speaker
She had a reputation
The girl has a certain reputation or image
And a cruel smile
She has a smile that could be seen as unkind or cruel
Give her an inch and she'll take a mile
Warning that she takes advantage when given an opportunity
Holy waters only make believe
Implying that religious references are not genuine or real in her case
Betty Boop what you doing to me
Questioning the impact of the girl's actions or behavior
Baby baby take my hand
Similar to line 9, asking the girl to take the speaker's hand
Baby baby understand
Similar to line 10, urging the girl to understand
Give a little love to your baby
Reiteration of asking for affection towards the speaker's baby
Give a little love to your man
Reiteration of asking for affection towards the speaker
Now I'm driving all night
The speaker is driving throughout the night
In a limousine
They are driving in a luxurious car
She's showing me things I've never seen
The girl is showing the speaker new experiences
There's a place in the world for a woman like you
Suggests that there's a place for the girl's personality or actions in the world
Doing all the things that you gotta do
Encouraging the girl to do what she feels she needs to do
Baby baby take my hand
Repetition of asking the girl to take the speaker's hand
Baby baby understand
Repetition of urging the girl to understand
Give a little love to your baby
Reiteration of asking for affection towards the speaker's baby
Give a little love to your man
Reiteration of asking for affection towards the speaker
