Venus
Stockley Sisters Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A goddess on a mountaintop
Was burning like a silver flame
A symbol of beauty and love
And Venus was her name

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

Her weapons were her crystal eyes
Making every man mad
Black as the dark night they were
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
Your desire
Well, I'm your Venus
I'm your fire
Your desire

She's got it
Yeah baby, she's got it
Well, I'm your Venus
I'm your fire
Your desire
Well, I'm your Venus




I'm your fire
Your desire

Good memories from the 70's in South Africa. πŸ‘‹πŸŽΆπŸŽ§

@RegCostello

I remember this from when I was in South Africa in 1977. Miriam Stockley went on to be a backing singer for a lot or big acts, including Britain's last Eurovision win in 1997. Also Adiemus and very good solo albums. And remember this? https://youtu.be/yGVNRMUB0l8
