Mandrake Root Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've got a Mandrake Root
It's some thunder in my brain
Yeah, I feed it to my babe
She thunders just the same
Food of love sets her flame
Ah, stick it up
[Verse 2]
Yeah, I got the Mandrake Root
Baby's just the same
She still feels a quiver
She's still got the flame
She slows down, slows right down
I've got the power
[Instrumental Outro]
