Conquest
He was out to make a conquest
Didn't care what harm was done just as long as he won 
The prize

Conquest
She was just another conquest
Didn't care whose heart was broke
Love to him was a joke till he looked into her eyes

And then in the strange way things happen
Their roles were reversed from that day
The hunted became the huntress
The hunter became the prey

Conquest
Now you know who made the conquest
She with all her female guile led him helpless down the aisle
She had finally made a conquest

Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ooo, ooo, ooo

And then in the strange way things happen
Their roles were reversed from that day
The hunted became the huntress
The hunter became the prey

Conquest
Now you know who made the conquest
She with all her female guile led him helpless down the aisle
She had finally made a conquest

Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
