She Smells So Nice

and she looks so good i gotta zip up once or twice
well i've been down
up and up
up and down
in 99, but i love my woman
like the sun goes up
she's the sweetest little woman
when she wakes up
come on, now right
now you walk around
and you thinking that you're so though
i see you walking around
you think that you're so though
well you got some thing momma,
but it's not enough
i'm going home
i'm going home and lay down
i'm going home, baby
i'm going home and lay down
gonna switch on the television
i'm gonna drown, yeah
well it's a long time coming
long time coming, long time coming
long time coming, long time coming
but when you find her baby
you know you found something good
when you find somebody now,
don't leave it no good
About She Smells So Nice
"She Smells So Nice" stands as a haunting centerpiece in The Doors' 1969 album *Waiting For The Sun*, where Jim Morrison's lyrics blend surreal imagery with a pervasive sense of decay and desire. The track exemplifies the band's signature fusion of rock instrumentation with jazz-inflected improvisation, driven by Robby Krieger's distinctive guitar work and Ray Manzarek's atmospheric keyboards. Unlike their earlier psychedelic experiments, this recording reflects a darker, more introspective mood that characterizes the group's final studio effort before their dissolution. The song's enduring appeal lies in its ability to capture the tension between intoxication and existential dread, making it a defining example of late-60s rock poetry set to a brooding, electric backdrop.
