She's nothing like a girl you've ever seen beforeWhile I understand that in today's politically correct climate, one does need to take extra care to avoid offending the easily-offended, many songwriters still seem to be perfectly capable of praising a woman without having to wonder aloud if they are able to be polite about it. Besides, the time to worry about being disrespectful is *before* you contrast her with the neighborhood whore. No matter how much of a compliment was intended - hey, she's *nothing* like the hooker on the corner! - it still seems to be a poor start.
Nothing you can compare to your neighborhood whore
I'm trying to find the words to describe this girl
Without being disrespectful
Okay then, *now* you're going to try harder to not be disrespectful, right? I mean you emphasize as much (very catchily, I might add) in the bridge. So let's go to the chorus:
Damn you's a sexy bitch, a sexy bitch
<facepalm>
Damn you's a sexy bitch, damn girl
Damn you's a sexy bitch, a sexy bitch
Damn you's a sexy bitch, damn girl
Yeah, that's just not very high on the respect-o-meter. The radio edit ("Sexy Chick") is marginally more respectful, but that's a low bar. A kick in the shins would be marginally more respectful. Next time try much, much harder.
