Stevie Nicks ~ Kind of Woman ~ Demo

Written by S. Nicks




Temptation falls in your path
No hesitation; why, you ask
You have another waiting at home
And yes, she matters to you
Kind of woman that'll haunt you
She matters to you
Kind of woman that'll haunt you
She matters to you

You didn't mean to meet her, you cry
Oh but the sun goes down every night
She came to you when you were alone
Oh yes, does she matter to you
Kind of woman that'll haunt you
Kind of woman that'll haunt you
She matters to you

I promised myself...a long time ago
Know it would be difficult to let you go
Oh, if not at least within
The touch of my fingers --
It was close to being
In Heaven

Kind of woman that'll haunt you
Heaven
Kind of woman that'll haunt you
To being in Heaven
Kind of woman that'll haunt you
Is to be...in Heaven
I know I know

WEBMISTRESS speculates:

Stevie has said that she wrote this song back during the Buckingham Nicks days, when Lindsey and she were scraping for every penny. To earn money, he toured as a backup musician for Don Everly while Stevie stayed home and earned money doing things like waitressing and cleaning her producer's house. Times were hard! Anyway, while Lindsey was on these tours, Stevie would worry that groupies would throw themselves at him and he wouldn't be able to resist, that he would be unfaithful to her.

In one of those moments, Stevie wrote this song, imagining a worst-case scenario where Lindsey has had "temptation fall in [his] path" and has given in to it. In doing so, she maintains, he will have given up true love, the "kind of woman that'll haunt" him, for a one-night stand, and he would regret it! It's no excuse that he was lonely - he should have been stronger. The last verse expresses Stevie's regret - she doesn't want to leave the relationship that was like "Heaven" but she can't tolerate cheaters. Lucky for Lindsey this was only a hypothetical situation! He was true blue.

Great word prettyful!! LOL!! I just love all of your videos especially this one!! Wow!! I know there are a lot of other talented people who post many Stevie videos, but yours I believe are the best - I really think you put so much effort, so much time, artwork, imagination, skill, detail, class, the songs sounding so clear, the pictures looking so clear - I mean on a scale of one to ten, yours are a twenty because you go far and beyond to make every video perfect & from the heart. Class Act!
