    Goddess on the mountain top

Burning like a siliver flame

The summit of beauty and love

And Venus was her name

She's got it?Yeah, baby, she's got it

I'm your Venus, I'm your fire

At your desire

Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire

At your desire

Her weapons were her crystal eyes

Making every man a man

Black as the dark night she was

Got what no-one else had

Wa!

I'm your Venus, I'm your fire

At your desire

Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
