Woman, I can remember a woman Warm were her kisses and tender was she Lying there in my arms Why, why did you deceive me so What devil inside made you go When I needed you most of all Daughter of darkness Stay out of my life, my life You took my heart, you broke it apart Daughter of darkness Daughter of darkness Please leave me alone forever Daughter of darkness gone is the love That we shared together Heaven, we had our own kind of heaven Sharing together, the magic of love In a world of our own Then oh so suddenly you were gone The love I depended upon disappeared when you went away Daughter of darkness stay out of my life, my life You took my heart, you broke it apart Oh daughter of darkness Daughter of darkness leave me alone forever Daughter of darkness gone is the love That we shared together Daughter of darkness stay out of my life, my life You took my heart, you broke it apart Oh daughter of darkness
