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
