This song is about seductive women who want to get into a relationship with you to have a child and will then leave you, which was more common in the late 70s. Dio warns you not to give in to temptation.
[Verse 1]
Lord, she's handsome as she flows across the floor
Nothing I've seen in my life has ever pleased me more
She's got the look of freedom and it makes you think she's wild
But I can see right through it all, it's her way to have a child
[Chorus]
Oh, walk away
She's looking to love you
There's nothing to say
Just turn your head and walk away
Walk away, walk on
[Verse 2]
She moves in sunlight, never seen the night at all
Like a star in the midnight sky, burns before it falls
I've never been lonely and I can't imagine why
Maybe she could be the one to tell me, I guess it's do or die
[Bridge]
Can't see her fire
But I can feel her heat, all right
It's rising higher
I'm walking the wire!
Walk on by
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Oh, walk away
She's looking to love you
There's nothing to say
Just turn your head and walk away
Oh, walk on by, walk away
Walk on
[Outro]
You'll feel her fire, she'll lift you higher
But don't be fooled, just turn your head and walk away
