(53,661 posts)It's about a cop who sees women being hurt on the streets and domestic violence and says they should be treated with respect and caring, remembering that they are, or were, someone's little girl. Because he thinks of his own little girl.
I Think About You ~ Collin Raye
Every time I see a woman on a billboard sign
I think about you
Saying, "Drink this beer and you'll be mine"
I think about you
When an actress on a movie screen
Plays Lolita in some old man's dreams
It doesn't matter who she is
I think about you
When I see a pretty woman walking down the street
I think about you
Men look her up and down like she's some kind of treat
Oh, I think about you
She wouldn't dare talk to a stranger
Always has to be aware of the danger
It doesn't matter who she is
I think about you, eight years old, big blue eyes and a heart of gold
When I look at this world,
I think about you and I can't help but see that every woman used to be
Somebody's little girl, I think about you
Every time I hear people say it's never gonna change
I think about you
Like it's some kind of joke, some kind of game
Girl, I think about you
When I see a woman on the news
Who didn't ask to be abandoned or abused
It doesn't matter who she is
I think about you, eight years old, big blue eyes and a heart of gold
When I look at this world, I think about you and I can't help but see that every woman used to be
Somebody's little girl,
I think about you, eight years old, big blue eyes and a heart of gold
When I look at this world,
I think about you
I think about you
Oh, I think about you
Yeah, I think about you
I believe the owner of the cafe. The world is not all B&W, and some things are worth more than money.
There is a video to this song but some would find it objectionable, or it would be a trigger to some.
Because first, it's a cop scene. Second, the women are shown as victims of abuse from the sex trade or their spouses and friends, with black eyes, bruises and terror in their eyes. Third, it is a country music song.
There is a form of love and respect that does not lead to sexual relations. There are many men who think like this restaurant owner, but they will be dismissed.
