Yeah, ok this is what i think of this song. I think its about a Detective who is looking out for prostitutes [she looks so good that he gets down and begs]. He then picks up a girl, and turns on her and shoots her [Though it nearly took a miracle to get you to stay, it only took my little fingers to blow you away]
