If God Knew This Girl
Seductive Serenade: If God Knew This Tempting Woman
Lyrics
She's like a viper when she wears that dress
Describing her allure and danger, using "viper" metaphor for her presence in a dress.
Black lace and tights I wonder where they end
Wondering about the extent of her provocative attire with black lace and tights.
Got me imagining all these wrongs
Imagining potential misdeeds or temptations brought about by her presence.
She could make a mute sing her song
Highlighting her captivating nature, suggesting even a mute person would be moved by her.
She's preying on me and I'm praying that
She's actively pursuing the speaker, who hopes to escape with emotional well-being.
I'll get away with my heart intact
Expressing a desire to avoid emotional harm while being pursued.
She ain't French but the way she's kissing me
Comparing her kissing style to the passionate stereotype of the French.
Let's me know nobody could resist she
Asserting her irresistibility, suggesting nobody could resist her.
If God knew this girl he'd be a sinning man
Speculating that even God would be tempted by her, using a playful metaphor.
He'd go down
Implies God would succumb to temptation.

He'd go down to the river just to cleanse his hands oh
Envisioning God seeking purification in a river due to the temptation.
He'd beg for forgiveness like he's been damned
