Diamonds and pearls don't move this girl

Sofia, I need ya, like a junkie needs a vein

And I wanna feel ya, Sofia, fallin' down on me like rain
Verse 2:
They say in Ancient times, man, that women ruled the World
That the Goddess was the one who laid it down
Well, I got me a woman as alive as the day
Gonna breathe a whisper, knock you right down to the ground
So go ahead, man, and say what you came to say
"The black widow's a spider, the black widow's a spider"
Then go and prepare for your dying day
Won't take one minute 'til you're curled up dead beside her
Oh yeah!
Repeat Chorus

Sofia, I need ya, like a freeloaded needs his train

Sofia, rain down on me, and I ain't never, I'll never be the same
I wanna feel ya, Sofia, fallin' down on me like rain
END ON: D#m
