you caught me with your web of youth
but now I know the wicked truth
it's much too late so what's the use in fighting?
You peel me like an onion skin
and wonder at the state I'm in
one day you'll turn up to begin
and find there's nothing left but innuendo.
Beside you others fade away
like amateurs in love's charade
much more than just a game you play
these subtle moves become a way of living.

Night after night I try to prove
that I can resist you
tied up inside your love voodoo
designed to manipulate.
The queen of sensuality
you shelter me from liberty
it's nothing short of piracy
that's not to say it doesn't
please me sometimes.
Now this may come as no surprise
but I'm content to compromise
until the day you realise
that I have been manipulating you.

Night after night I try to prove
that I can resist you
tied up inside your love voodoo
designed to manipulate.

(MID)

Night after night (echo)
I can resist you
tied up inside your love voodoo
designed to manipulate.

Night after night I try to prove
that I can resist you
tied up inside your love voodoo
designed to manipulate.
