Spend the night in Charlotte's bedYou might get caught in Charlotte's webA satin rose, that's growing wildCharlotte holds more secrets, than the nightShe spins and weaves her magic spellHer body speaks, what words can't tellI'm a moth, she's a flameIn a town that's all too quick, to smear her nameBut I'll take the likes of Charlotte and her kindSmall-town talk, don't matter now that Charlotte's mineIt may be true, that other men have found her bedBut I'm the one who's caught in Charlotte's WebCharlotte took me late one nightTo a secret room, by candlelightShe dealt the cards and read my handSaid she hoped that I would understandShe turned two cards up, face to faceShe said, "Two hearts have found their place"Now all the rest is historyThe future's full of Charlotte loving meAnd I'll take the likes of Charlotte and her kindSmall-town talk don't matter now that Charlotte's mineIt may be true that other men have found her bedBut I'm the one, who's caught in Charlotte's WebIt may be true that other men have found her bedBut I'm the one who's caught in Charlotte's Web(Charlotte's web)Charlotte's web, Charlotte's webCharlotte's web, Charlotte's webCharlotte's web
