This song is Aerosmith's version of the Adam and Eve story from the Bible in Genesis 3. The first man and woman on earth lived in the lavish and perfect Garden of Eden but were not allowed to eat from a particular tree: The Tree of Knowledge of good and evil. Satan, disguised as a serpent, convinced Eve that God was being unfair and that one bite wouldn't hurt. In fact, he told her, God just wanted them kept in the dark. If they ate the fruit, they wouldn't die, but they would be like God. Both Adam and Eve caved and tried some (which was never specified as an apple) and sin officially entered the world. They were banished from the garden and condemned to a life tarnished by sin. The lyrics add a dose of sexuality with the lusty temptation, saying that sex is something natural and has been around forever. It was written and arranged by the band's lead singer Steven Tyler.
At one point, Steven Tyler wanted to name the album "Love At First Bite" after the line in this song, "Lordy it was love at first bite."
