Duvel
Dancing with the Duvel: A Tale of Love's Fiery Dance
Lyrics
I met a girl mean as she can be
I encountered a girl who is extremely unkind
I met a girl mean as she can be
Reiteration of the girl's unkind nature
Her laugh and her voice were one sweet melody
Her laughter and voice combined to create a pleasant melody
My momma told me “stay away from her”
My mother warned me to stay away from this girl
My momma told me “stay away from her”
Reiteration of the maternal warning
“If you like that girl, you better beware”
Mother advises caution if I have an interest in this girl
She makes me hop
The girl's actions make the speaker excited or jumpy
Oh, she blows my top
The girl arouses intense emotions or passion in the speaker
If she says “yes”, I’ll take a shot
If she agrees, the speaker is willing to take a risk
That girl is the duvel
The girl is metaphorically described as the devil (Duvel)
That girl is the duvel
Reiteration of the girl being likened to the devil
She’s mean, she’s a blip
Describing the girl as mean and elusive
She’s the one for me
Despite her negative qualities, the speaker is drawn to her
Oh well, oh well, she rings my bell
Expressing excitement and attraction towards the girl
Oh well, oh well, she rings my bell
Reiteration of the girl having a captivating effect
Oh, come on, baby, just take me back to hell
Asking the girl to lead the speaker into a challenging situation
If you don’t like to get burned, don’t play with fire
Warning against playing with a risky or dangerous situation
If you don’t like to get burned, baby, don’t play with fire
Reiteration of the cautionary advice against risky behavior
Honey, I don’t care cause you’re my one desire
Expressing a willingness to pursue the girl despite potential harm
She makes me hop
Reiteration of the girl's impact on the speaker's emotions
Oh, she blows my top
Describing the intense emotional effect the girl has on the speaker
If she says “yes”, I’ll take a shot
Expressing a willingness to take a risk if the girl agrees
That girl is the duvel
Reiteration of the girl being compared to the devil
That girl is the duvel
Reiteration of the girl being likened to the devil
She’s mean, she’s a blip
Describing the girl as mean and elusive
She’s the one for me
Despite her negative qualities, the speaker is drawn to her
That girl is the duvel
Reiteration of the girl being compared to the devil
That girl is the duvel
Reiteration of the girl being likened to the devil
She’s mean, she’s a blip
Describing the girl as mean and elusive
She’s the one for me
Despite her negative qualities, the speaker is drawn to her
She’s mean, she’s a blip
Describing the girl as mean and elusive
She’s the one for me
Despite her negative qualities, the speaker is drawn to her
She’s mean, she’s a blip
Describing the girl as mean and elusive
She’s the one for me
Despite her negative qualities, the speaker is drawn to her
