Venus Man Trap Lyrics

(woohoooo
woohoooo
woohoooo
woohoooo)
Waiting for
opportunity to strike
I have been your biggest fan
what a tour
a little blow to cure your fright
that's what it takes to trap a man
water me
I am not the desert plant
they would like before you
when I close
(will I have my blue eyes...)
when I open
(...this time?)
when I close
(should I have my green eyes?)
when I open
(that shine and shine)
when I close
(will I have my green eyes?)
when I open
I love you
(woohoooo)
I love you
(woohoooo)
I love you
(woohoooo)
I love you
(woohoooo
woohoooo
woohoooo
woohoooo)
in my room
underneath the microscope
I remember how it felt
I thought you knew
I was always full of hope
but you could only help yourself
when I close
(will I have my blue eyes...)
when I open
(...this time?)
when I close
(should I have my green eyes?)
when I open
(that shine and shine)
when I close
(will I have my green eyes?)
when I open
I love you
(woohoooo)
I love you
(woohoooo)
I love you
(woohoooo)
I love you
ladadada
(will I have my blue eyes...)
ladadada
(...this time?)
ladadada
(should I have my green eyes?)
ladadada
(that shine and shine)
when I close
(will I have my blue eyes...)
when I open
(...this time?)
when I close
(or should I have my green eyes?)
when I open
(that shine and shine)
when I close
(will I have my green eyes?)
when I open
I love you
(woohoooo)
I love you
(woohoooo)
I love you

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Weird song....but it's very catchy at the same time.

I hated this song and thought it was stupid and pointless until I: tried coke, and became obsessed with a rockstar. The trying coke part is only important because she talks about doing blow, but she talks about doing blow so won't be nervous and she can talk to a rockstar (or someone who she idolizes like a rockstar). I like how she alternates between wanting blue eyes and green eyes. She wonders if she should look at her lover with innocent eyes or with jealous eyes.

I thought the line went: And there was life before you and not "they would like before you"
