Lyrics of
Venus

Venus is a song written by Robbie van Leeuwen, the guitarist of the Dutch band Shocking Blue, originally released in 1969. The song became globally known when covered by the band The Bangles in 1986. The inspiration for the lyrics came from the Roman deity Venus, symbolizing beauty and love.

A goddess on a mountain top,
burning like a silver flame.
The summit of beauty and love,
and Venus was her name.

She's got it, yeah baby, she's got it.
Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire at your desire.
Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire at your desire.


Her weapons are her crystal eyes,
making every man mad.
Black as the dark night she was,
got what no one else had.

She's got it, yeah baby, she's got it.
Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire at your desire.
Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire at your desire.


She's got it, yeah baby, she's got it.
Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire at your desire.
Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire at your desire.
