You could faint from the strong perfume
 And she said her name was Libertine
 In my ear, a voice said don't be a fool stay clear,
 Better stay away from Libertine
 Stay away from Libertine
 Stay away from Libertine
 Stay away from Libertine

 So I stayed out of view
 But my eyes couldn't come unglued
 I was hypnotized by Libertine
 So in time I broke down and I lost my mind
 Then I made a move on Libertine
 Stay away from Libertine
 Made a move on Libertine
 Stay away from Libertine
 I made my move on Libertine

 And I waited all night
 'Til the timing was right
 For another man was reaching for her hand
 But he went to the phone
 And when I got her alone
 It just wasn't the same
 Tell me what's in a name?

 She made me drunk with her charms
 Then she left on her husband's arm
 And I got the shaft from Libertine
 I was weak and I know just from whence I speak,
 Better stay away from Libertine
 Stay away from Libertine
