Lyrics
The cover version of VENUS doesn't includes the stanzas starting with "Her weapons were her crystal eyes" to "Wah!", while the original version does.
Goddess on the mountain top Burning like a silver 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 mad Black as the dark night she was Got what no one else had Wah! 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
