Venus
Mount & Emdey Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

A goddess on the mountain top
Was burning like a silver flame
The summit of beauty and love
And Venus was her name

She's got it, yeah baby, she's got it
I'm your Venus, I'm your fire at your desire
I'm your Venus, I'm your fire at your desire

Well
I'm your Venus, I'm your fire at your desire
At your desire

Her weapons were her crystal eyes
Making every man mad
Black as the dark night she was
Got what no one else had

She's got it, yeah baby, she's got it
Well
I'm your Venus, I'm your fire at your desire
Well
I'm your Venus, I'm your fire at your desire
Well
I'm your Venus, I'm your fire at your desire
At your desire

I'm your Venus, I'm your fire at your desire
