I had a Spider Woman and she was so good
She chained me in her web so tight
I lost the freedom of release that night
So I stayed right by her

I dreamt I saw a blind man who was singing a song
About a guy who couldn’t take no more
And the meaning of the words he swore
Told me go find her yeah

She was a Spider Woman, but she was good to me
Spider Woman, but she was good to me
She went down.

I told her ’bout my vision
But she laughed in my face
So I told her go and walk in the street
But by the time she got past my feet
I lost control

She was a Spider Woman, but she was good to me
Spider Woman, but she was good to me
Spider Woman, but she was good to me
Spider Woman, but she was good to me
Spider Woman, but she was good to me
Spider Woman, but she was good to me
