Now if you had quoted something like the line in Angel
"when you were good, you were verrry, very good" that's another story....
I know what you're saying, but the way the line is phrased in the song, it seems kind of risque to me.

I mean, it's just like a very innocent line, "come on over, let me put you on ice" really takes on a sultry meaning when Stevie sings it live and puts a pause in there and she says, "come on over, let me put you . . . on ice." A lot depends on where the break comes and in Without You, the break influences my take on the sentence.

It's like Andrew Marvell in To His Coy Mistress. He means what the line breaks imply. I'm not saying that Stevie is Marvell. Or Bob Dylan.
