Lyrics
Back in the days when Greece was mighty
Men used to worship Aphrodite
When the Phoenicians threw a party
The driest host drank a toast to Astarte
The big Egyptian sacrifices
Were made to please the goddess Isis
And one of my most ancient vices
Is my worship of you
Chorus:
I don’t love you, dear, I swear it’s true
I don’t love you, dear, I worship you
Must I modify my point of view?
Why should I be odd if I worship you?
On that sacred day when you become mine
Somewhere, far away I’ll build you a shrine
There I’ll put you, dear, and when I do
I’ll get on my knees and worship you
