I knew what I was doin' And I knew it wasn't right But there she was astandin' In the middle of the night
And I've seen a lot of faces But never one like this I'da sold my soul for nothing For the memory of her kiss
She had the power so take me to paradise No one can ever take that away She had the power, oh Lord, I paid the price 'Cause she wouldn't let me stand in her way
She knew what I was thinkin' She knew that I was wrong I thought she'd stay forever But I turned and she was gone
Then she read me like a gypsy Lookin' in her crystal ball Then she left me like a prisoner Standin' up against the wall
She had the power so take me to paradise And no one could ever take that away She had the power, oh Lord, I paid the price She wouldn't let me stand in her way
She had the power so take me to paradise No one can ever take that away She had the power, oh Lord, I paid the price She wouldn't let me stand in her way
