Savoir Faire
Savoring Elegance: Unveiling the Allure in Mink DeVille's Savoir Faire
Lyrics
I was standing on the corner of the avenue
Observation of surroundings, setting the scene on the avenue.
I was watching all the girls go by
Watching girls pass by, suggesting an appreciation for women.
And there she was in a five and ten cent store
Spotting a woman in a store, creating a desire to make her his.
Somehow I got to make her mine
Expressing the urge or determination to win her affection.
Yeah somehow I got to make her mine
Reiteration of the desire to make her his.
I was way uptown, I was lost in the crowd
Being in a different location (uptown) and feeling lost.
I was in blood bank, I was standing in line
Being in a blood bank, possibly in a challenging situation.
And there she was, she was checking my count
The woman appears again, this time observing the speaker.
Somehow I got to make her mine
Reiteration of the determination to make her his.
Yeah somehow I got to make her mine
Repeating the desire to make her his.
She got style, she got taste, she's got long, long legs
Describing the woman positively with style, taste, and long legs.
She got savoir faire
Emphasizing her possession of "savoir faire," implying sophistication.
She don't need no hook, she's got more than good looks
Highlighting that she doesn't rely on just looks, suggesting depth.
She got savoir faire
Reiteration of her possession of "savoir faire."
Maybe in some cafe, along the Champs-Elysee
Mentioning possible locations, adding an air of mystery.
Maybe Rome, maybe Avenue C
Suggesting different cities, continuing the mysterious atmosphere.
I know I've seen your face some place before
Feeling familiarity with her face from somewhere.
Baby, I love the way you paint your lips
Expressing admiration for the way she paints her lips.
Yes, I love the way you move your hips
Expressing admiration for the way she moves her hips.
She got style, she got taste, she's got long, long legs
Repeating positive descriptions of the woman.
She got savoir faire
Reiterating her possession of "savoir faire."
She don't need no hook, she's got more than good looks
Emphasizing her depth beyond just physical attractiveness.
She got savoir faire
Reiteration of her possession of "savoir faire."
