Foghat - Mean Voodoo Woman lyrics

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...
