Black Dog Lyrics

Hey hey mama, said the way you move
Gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove
Ah ah child, way you shake that thing
Gonna make you burn, gonna make you sting
Hey hey baby, when you walk that way
Watch your honey drip, I can't keep...

Maybe its about a stripper and he feels frustrated and then cheated because he cant have her or sex her. Maybe if he does eventually get her she takes things from him because she doesn't care about love.
Instead of the obvious, down and out could mean, you go down the stairs into the club and then leave unfulfilled.
And maybe the big legs is because she can dance (really well).
And black dog would have been a perfect name for the song especially since people didn't know what the dog was really like or because it smiled so nicely but was actually a fat batch.

What the fuck is wrong with you people? this song is so about getting laid (and probably losing your virginity.)

When they were recording the song, a black dog walked in the studio room, I do not know what the song was supposed to really called
This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway
