YOU TOOK THE WORDS RIGHT OUT OF MY MOUTH – Released 1977 by MEATLOAF He: On hot summer night, would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses? She: Will he offer me his mouth? He: Yes. She: Will he offer me his teeth? He: Yes. She: Will he offer me his jaws? He: Yes. She: Will he offer me his hunger? He: Yes. She: Again, will he offer me his hunger? He: YES! She: And will he starve without me? He: YES! She: And does he love me? He: Yes. She: Yes... He: On a hot summer night, would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses? She: Yes. He: I bet you say that to all the boys! While on the surface, these words are no more than the opening lyrics to a song, when we look closer, we see the warning hidden within. The woman in the tale is willing to give her very soul to the wolf, asking of him those things she feels important in the moment. Assured that he loves her she submits to him only to discover that once done her surrender is dismissed as a trivial thing - unworthy of him. And she is discarded. The tragedy is that she did not realize that his profession of love was but a means to an end... the taking of her. No respect for her afterwards, no glorious and rewarding end, just a wasted gift of something most precious. LADIES – they don’t call them wolves for nothing – be careful out there. And one more thing - ENJOY THE SONG! :) youtu.be/_wO8toxinoc
