Upon My Heart
Rescue of Desire: A Heart's Promise
Lyrics
She was so fresh in that dress
Commentary on how attractive she looked in her dress
A small voice said resist
An internal voice urging resistance or self-control
But the devil was in my heart
A metaphorical reference to temptation residing within
And the future was on her lips
Her words indicated prospects for the future
She's so fresh in my head
She occupies his thoughts vividly
Her eyes haunt me still
Her gaze continues to trouble or preoccupy him
Of course love's meant to hurt
Implying that love often involves pain or hurt
That's why girls dress to kill
Suggesting that women dress attractively to captivate
With my hand upon my heart
Symbolizing commitment or sincerity
A promise starts
The commencement of a vow or commitment
I'll rescue you
An intent to offer assistance or aid
With my hand upon my heart
A repetition indicating commitment or assurance
Just one slowdance
Desire to help or save someone through a dance
I'll rescue you, rescue you
Reiteration of the commitment to rescue
She was so fresh in that dress
A reaffirmation of her attractiveness in that outfit
Flirting's such a bore
Expressing a lack of interest in casual flirting
Why can't she just walk up to me and say
Desire for straightforwardness in romantic pursuit
You're the man I'm looking for?
Hope for direct acknowledgment of compatibility
With my hand upon my heart
A pledge or commitment made again
A promise starts
Another instance of commitment or assurance
I'll rescue you
Reiteration of the intent to offer help or support
With my hand upon my heart
Emphasizing aid through a dance as a rescue
Just one slowdance
Reaffirmation of the commitment to rescue
I'll rescue you, rescue you
Reiteration of the commitment to rescue
La, la, la, etc.
Indicating a section with vocalizations rather than specific lyrics
She was so fresh in that dress
Repeated mention of her attractiveness in that dress
Flirting's such a bore
Reiteration of disinterest in casual flirting
One chance to caress
Implying the value of an opportunity for physical contact
Well worth angling for
Indicating the pursuit of such opportunities is worthwhile
With my hand upon my heart
Continuation of commitment or sincerity
A promise starts
Initiation of a promise or commitment once more
I'll rescue you
Repeated intent to offer assistance or aid
With my hand upon my heart
Reiteration of aid through a dance as a rescue
Just one slowdance
Reaffirmation of the commitment to rescue
I'll rescue you, rescue you
Reiteration of the commitment to rescue
La, la, la, etc.
