Songfacts®:

• Although Nugent has always loved women, he was always more physical than spiritual, but he wrote this song about a woman who shared his life for nine years, Pele Massa, whom he met when she was 17 and he was 30.
  
  Nugent was a married man at the time, but in July 1978 his first wife served him with divorce papers. Although he and Pele never married, his daughter Sasha said she became a surrogate mother to her and her brother. Nugent himself said he fell head over heels for her.
• Running to 4 minutes 50 seconds, "Little Miss Dangerous" was the title track to Nugent's ninth album, and was also released as a single on the Atlantic label. Backed by "Angry Young Man," it made #22 on the Mainstream Rock chart. >>
