She huh, living in a cat's claw mind
Hoping you like what you find
But you'd better take it real slow
So many things you don't know
Sweeter than the sweet that comes to the brain
Just upon the threshold of pain
That's the hold you have over me
Woman won't you please set me free
You took me places higher than I ever wanted to go
You took me places higher than any man should ever hope to go
Strange love, torn between the heart and the soul
Laughing while the body grows cold
Somewhere that I should never be
Woman won't you please let me be
Free me, from the darkness here underground
Screaming but I can't hear a sound
Drowning in the pleasures of pain
I can't see the sky, for the rain
You took me places higher than I ever wanted to go
You took me places higher than any man should ever hope to go,
oh no
Reaching for the sun to come and take me home
Sitting in a chair and sinking like a stone
Sweeter than the sweet that comes to the brain
Just upon the threshold of pain
That's the hold you have over me
Woman won't you please set me free
You took me places higher than I ever wanted to go
You took me places higher than any man should ever hope to go,
oh no
