When she walked in the room
   You could faint from the strong perfume
   And she said her name was Libertine
   In my ear, a voice said don't be a fool stay clear,
   Better stay away from Libertine
   Stay away from Libertine
   Stay away from Libertine
   Stay away from Libertine
  
   So I stayed out of view
   But my eyes couldn't come unglued
   I was hypnotized by Libertine
   So in time I broke down and I lost my mind
   Then I made a move on Libertine
   Stay away from Libertine
   Made a move on Libertine
   Stay away from Libertine
   I made my move on Libertine
  
   And I waited all night
   'Til the timing was right
   For another man was reaching for her hand
   But he went to the phone
   And when I got her alone
   It just wasn't the same
   Tell me what's in a name?
  
   She made me drunk with her charms
   Then she left on her husband's arm
   And I got the shaft from Libertine
   I was weak and I know just from whence I speak,
   Better stay away from Libertine
   Stay away from Libertine
