ECSTASY
>From the film "Dakota Lil (1950)
(Raoul Kraushaar / Irwin Coster / Maurice Geraghty / Jack Jungmeyer)


Marie Windsor (Film Soundtrack) - 1950



I never try to lure men
Secure men, allure men
I try to be a lady
But they won't let me be

But all know what excites them
Delights them, enlights them
I can't recall the word they use
Oh yes, it's ecstasy

I tried to look it up in books
But there's no word for it
I don't mean what you think I do
I mean the opposite

A woman's wiles decoy men
Destroy men, that's why men
I never will emply them
Because there is no need

I can't quite understand why
It chills me, it thrills me
But I can never live without
This thing called ecstasy
