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.
