Lyrics
Demo version one
(You're a woman)
Disco, go-go dancer so rare
Move down, up slow, prostitute stare
I do what I like, I just don't care
I am my only God
I am my only God
I am my only God
Now
Black eyes, short dress, let's break it down
You shoot and I pose, Polaroid frown
I do what you like, I won't make a sound
I am my only God
I am my only God
I am my only God
Now
Icon, young star, heroin fiend
Just sit, and I'll sing, I'll be your queen
You know how I like that celebrity type
Hold me, mm
I am my only God
I am my only God
I am my only God
Now
Demo version two

Disco, go-go dancer so rare

I am my only God, now
Black eyes, short dress, let's break it down
You shoot, I pose, Polaroid frown
I'll do what you like, I won't make a sound, oh
I am my only God, I told you
I am my only God
I am my only God, now
Icon, young king, heroin fiend
Just sit, and I'll sing, I'll be your queen
You know how I like that celebrity type
Hold me, hold me, oh
I am my only God, now
I am my only God
I am my only God, now
Mm, mm
