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
