Well, I was born right on the beach
I let the waves come and lick my feet
I let the sun settle on me
Like a veil, like I was everybody's bride
I took an interest from a young age
In certain smells, in certain chemicals
How they could melt upon the brain
Like a cut of honeycomb on the tongue
Come, come on and love me
It's so nice to need me
I could make you happy
I could make you beg for me
Make you beg for me
And maybe I will
They're singing, "Aphrodite, daughter of the foam
Don't leave me alone, tonight"
They're singing, "Aphrodite, daughter of the foam
Don't leave me alone, tonight"
Tonight
And if I press up to your chest
My little ear, you know what I'll hear?
I'll hear my own heart become the sea
You're a seashell, my little seashell
And if you say my name, my name
You say it like a prayer
And if you come, you come
With birds and wine
You better tend my sacred flame
With myrtle and with roses
'Cause you want to
Don't you want to?
Come, come on and love me
It's so nice to need me
I can make you happy
I can make you beg for me
Make you beg for me
And maybe I will
They're singing, "Aphrodite, daughter of the foam
Don't leave me alone, tonight"
They're singing, "Aphrodite, daughter of the foam
Don't leave me alone, tonight"
Tonight
Ooh-ooh...
