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
