Mean Voodoo Woman

Just a shy boy from the country with trembling knees

He hit the big city with a wild curiosity

Then he met the Voodoo woman made his blood boil a thousand degrees

And now she's got him on the run hiding out, crying, begging, "please"

And now that mean voodoo woman won't let me be

Mean voodoo woman got her hooks in me

Blind to her mission so I can't see

Mean voodoo woman wrote my history

Played all the cards so she'd end up owning my soul

And ran all the numbers left me helpless spinning out of control

Then she granted all my wishes said she'd take me from a pawn to a king

But she left me in a trance then she played me like a toy on a string

And now that mean voodoo woman won't let me be

Mean voodoo woman got her hooks in me

I'm blind to her mission 'cause I can't see

Started when she ran her fingers up and down my spine

Knew that I was hooked tThe moment that she caught my eye

Took me in her room - now I know that I'll never return

And now I'm left feeling helpless all I got is the lesson I learned, yeah

{instrumental}

I finally made up my mind so tired of the misery

I took a chance, slipped away at the first opportunity

Yeah I thought it would be easy but my luck ran out can't you see

Once she's got you in her grasp then you know that you'd never be free

Mean voodoo woman won't let me be

Mean voodoo woman got her hooks in me

Blind to her mission so I can't see

Mean voodoo woman wrote my history...
