Woman, sensuous woman
You control the world I’m living in
Woman, sensuous woman
Release my body and let me live again

Step by step you taught me easy lovin’
Night by night you caught me in your web
My self control was overruled by passion
Now I couldn’t see the heartache up ahead

Woman, sensuous woman
You control the world I’m living in
Woman, sensuous woman
Release my body and let me live again

Someone true is waiting I should be with her
And she don’t know I crave your ecstasy
But many hearts will break if I don’t conquer
This lustful spell you’ve cast over me
