Venus
Pholhas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

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

Her weapon were her crystal eyes
Making every man a man
Black as a 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

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah!
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah!

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
