Lyrics
Raven hair and ruby lips
sparks fly from her finger tips
Echoed voices in the night
she`s a restless spirit on an endless flight
wooo hooo witchy woman, see how high she flies
wooo hooo witchy woman, she got the moon in her eye
She held me spellbound in the night (wooooh)
dancing shadows and firelight
crazy laughter in another room
and she drove herself to madness. with a silver spoon
wooo hooo witchy woman, see how high she flies
wooo hooo witchy woman, she got the moon in her eye
Well I know you want a lover,
let me tell your brother,
she`s been sleeping in the Devil`s bed.
And there`s some rumors going round
she can rock you in the nighttime `til your skin turns red
wooo hooo ,witchy woman see how high she flies
wooo hooo, witchy woman she got the moon in her eye
