Conquest He was out to make a conquest Didn't care what harm was done Just as long as he won the prize Conquest She was just another conquest Didn't care whose heart was broke Love to him was a joke 'Til he looked into her eyes And then in the strange way things happen Their roles were reversed from that day The hunted became the huntress The hunter became the prey Conquest Now you know who made the conquest She, with all her female guile Led him helpless down the aisle She had finally made a conquest And then in the strange way things happen Their roles were reversed from that day The hunted became the huntres The hunter became the prey Conquest Now you know who made the conquest She, with all her female guile Led him helpless down the aisle She had finally made a conquest
