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
