Come on, Aphrodite (Edit) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Come on, Aphrodite, you goddess of love
Come on, Aphrodite, from that mountain above
Come on, Aphrodite, I'm begging you, begging you
I'm begging you please
Come on, Aphrodite, can't you see that I've been patient?
Come on, Aphrodite, can't you see how long I've waited?
Come on, Aphrodite, can't you see that I'm wasting
I'm wasting away?

[Chorus]
Won't you come from the sea? Won't you come from the sea?
Oh, appear to me
Won't you come from the sea? Won't you come from the sea?
Oh, appear to me

[Verse 2]
Come on, Aphrodite, see mе down on my knees (Down on my knees)
Come on, Aphrodite, part the wavеs for me (Part the waves for me)
Come on, Aphrodite, I'm begging you, begging you
I'm begging you please
Come on, Aphrodite, I've been nothing but true
Come on, Aphrodite, I believe in you
Come on, Aphrodite, from the mountain, from the sea
Gather up your secrets, come on, bring them to me
[Chorus]
Won't you come from the sea? Won't you come from the sea?
Oh, appear to me, appear to me, oh

[Post-Chorus]
Come on

[Bridge]
Come on, queen of the garden of earthly delight
Goddess of passion and giver of life
Oh, come to me
Oh, come to me
Come with your rapture, come with your pain
Come if you hear me, I'm calling your name
Oh, come to me
Oh, come to me
Make me head over heels, make me drunk, make me blind
Over the moon, half out of my mind
Oh, make me weak in the knees, tremble inside
Give up easy and swallow my pride
Oh, make me, make me love
Oh, make me, yeah, can you make me love?

[Outro]
Ooh, yeah
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
