I know that I'm not perfect;   He's got a sweet forked tongue   I'll let myself be tempted   Let him talk; I know what I want      The tempting sin, the world outside   I've gotten tired of Paradise      Eve and Adam   Now she's got the key, the knowledge is near    Eve and Adam   By the ancient tree      Adam says he won't bite it;   "The will of God"; sour grapes...   But one swing of my hips   And he's mine, that's all that it takes      The tempting sin, the world outside   I've gotten tired of Paradise      Eve and Adam   Now she's got the key, the knowledge is near   Eve and Adam   By the ancient tree      I am a woman, aware of the power I have    I've got myself to give, myself I can take back   Silently I rule them, playing with their feelings   It's easy to fool them; both don't know who pulls the strings       The tempting sin, the world outside   I've gotten tired of Paradise   I'll take the bitter with the sweet   I choose to see where this path leads      Eve and Adam   Now she's got the key, the knowledge is near    Eve and Adam   By the ancient tree      I am a woman, aware of the power I have    I've got myself to give, myself I can take back   Silently I rule them, playing with their feelings   It's easy to fool them; both don't know who pulls the strings
