"Mean Voodoo Woman" lyrics - FOGHAT

Just a shy boy from the country with trembling knees
He hit the big city with a wild curiosity
Then he met the Voodoo woman made his blood boil a thousand degrees
And now she's got him on the run hiding out, crying, begging, "please"

And now that mean voodoo woman won't let me be
Mean voodoo woman got her hooks in me
Blind to her mission so I can't see
Mean voodoo woman wrote my history

Played all the cards so she'd end up owning my soul
And ran all the numbers left me helpless spinning out of control
Then she granted all my wishes said she'd take me from a pawn to a king
But she left me in a trance then she played me like a toy on a string

And now that mean voodoo woman won't let me be
Mean voodoo woman got her hooks in me
I'm blind to her mission 'cause I can't see

Started when she ran her fingers up and down my spine
Knew that I was hooked tThe moment that she caught my eye
Took me in her room - now I know that I'll never return
And now I'm left feeling helpless all I got is the lesson I learned, yeah

[Instrumental]

I finally made up my mind so tired of the misery
I took a chance, slipped away at the first opportunity
Yeah I thought it would be easy but my luck ran out can't you see
Once she's got you in her grasp then you know that you'd never be free

Mean voodoo woman won't let me be
Mean voodoo woman got her hooks in me
Blind to her mission so I can't see
Mean voodoo woman wrote my history...
