One of the most blatant heroin metaphor songs on an album chock full of them. On the surface, it describes the narrator’s relationship with an addict, though Smith always maintained that he discussed drugs as a way of writing about broader forms of dependency, emotional or otherwise.
[Verse 1]
Keep your things in a place meant to hide
But I know they're there somewhere
And I know that's where you'll go tonight
I'll be thrown over just like before
[Chorus]
The white lady loves you more
[Verse 2]
Need a metal man just to pick up your feet
It's a long time since you cared enough for me to even be discreet
I know what this metal is for
[Chorus]
The white lady loves you more
[Bridge]
I'm looking at a hand full of broken plans
And I'm tired of playing it down
You just want her to do anything to you
There ain't nothing that you won't allow
[Verse 3]
You wake up in the middle of the night
From a dream you won't remember flashing on like a cop's light
You say, "She's waiting and I know what for"
[Chorus]
The white lady loves you more
The white lady
