Lyrics
Hey man you better get a grip
Warning to be cautious and in control of one's situation.
Or you'll be fallin' off the edge real fast
Advising against a rapid descent into a problematic situation.
You find yourself a lady and you're bending over backwards
Suggesting the speaker is sacrificing for a woman who's spending his money.
While she's passin' time spending all of your cash
Highlighting the financial drain caused by the woman's actions.
Hey bud open your eyes and see the big lie before it's too late
Encouraging awareness of a deception before it's too late.
You better get your shit together take a look at changing weather
Emphasizing the need to adapt to changing circumstances.
Or you'll be caught in a downpour of hate
Warning of potential consequences if changes aren't made.
You'll never know the reason why you feel in love
Expressing uncertainty about the reasons behind falling in love.
It's the nature of the beast I guess or a message from above
Suggesting love's unpredictability or a divine message.
So take a look around you and see what's happening
Encouraging observation of one's surroundings and circumstances.
'Cause this woman's gonna take you down
Anticipating negative consequences due to a woman's influence.
Take you down to the very end
Expecting a significant downfall in the relationship.
But she's so damn good that it's downright bad
Describing the woman's allure despite potential harm.
She's a devil in a blue dress gonna drive you mad
Depicting the woman as enticing but dangerous.
Damn good, damn good, so damn good it's the best you ever had
Emphasizing the exceptional quality of the experience with the woman.
Hey pal don't mean to criticize 'bout the way you're livin' your life
Expressing concern about the listener's lifestyle choices.
But you know they say that love is blind and it's always hard
Acknowledging the challenge of understanding love's complexities.
To read between the lines
Highlighting the difficulty of grasping subtle signals.
You'll never know the reason how this came your way
Expressing uncertainty about the cause of a problematic situation.
It's message from below my friend there's gonna be hell to pay
Suggesting a negative outcome due to external influences.
But take a look around you and see what's happening
Encouraging awareness of current events and surroundings.
'Cause this woman's gonna take you down
Reiterating the potential negative impact of a woman on the listener.
Take you down to the very end
Expecting a significant and possibly final consequence.
But she's so damn good that it's downright bad
Reiterating the woman's allure despite potential harm.
She's a devil in a blue dress gonna drive you mad
Portraying the woman as captivating but dangerous.
Damn good, damn good, so damn good it's the best you ever had
Emphasizing the exceptional quality of the experience with the woman.
I hope you wake up before the nightmare begins
Expressing hope for awareness before a negative situation unfolds.
'Cause there's a timebomb ticking, ticking in your...
Introducing a metaphorical timebomb, hinting at impending trouble.
Ticking in your...ticking in your hands
Reiterating the presence of a ticking timebomb in the listener's hands.
But she's so damn good that it's downright bad

Damn good, damn good, so damn good it's the best you ever had
