Just like the ocean under the moon,
It's the stainless steel motion that I get from you.
You've got the kind of love that can be so smooth.
Give me your heart. Make the real Horace forget about it.

The story:

Who is the real Horace? It sounded like maybe he was the girl's ex-boyfriend, but why would he be the REAL Horace? Was there a fake Horace?

I puzzled and puzzled over that line. It sounded somewhat plausible, but I knew it couldn't be right. I just couldn't figure out the real lyric to substitute there.

On the other hand, I was convinced that Santana was singing about the girl's "stainless steel" motion. After all, I had heard of people with movements like steel - cold and calculating. I thought Santana creatively used stainless steel to describe the girl's cold, but somewhat kinder moves.

My husband almost laughed me out of the car when I told him what I thought the song was saying.
