A werewolf (Old English: were, wer, archaic terms for adult male humans) or lycanthrope (Greek: λυκάνθρωπος, lykánthropos: λύκος, lykos, "wolf", and ἄνθρωπος, anthrōpos, "man") is a mythological or folkloric human with the ability to shapeshift into a wolf or a therianthropic hybrid wolf-like creature, either purposely or after being placed under a curse or affliction (e.g. via a bite or scratch from another werewolf). Early sources for belief in lycanthropy are Petronius and Gervase of Tilbury.
The werewolf is a widespread concept in European folklore, existing in many variants which are related by a common development of a Christian interpretation of underlying European folklore which developed during the medieval period. From the early modern period, werewolf beliefs also spread to the New World with colonialism. Belief in werewolves developed in parallel to the belief in witches, in the course of the Late Middle Ages and the Early Modern period. Like the witchcraft trials as a whole, the trial of supposed werewolves emerged in what is now Switzerland (especially the Valais and Vaud) in the early 15th century and spread throughout Europe in the 16th, peaking in the 17th and subsiding by the 18th century. The persecution of werewolves and the associated folklore is an integral part of the "witch-hunt" phenomenon, albeit a marginal one, accusations of werewolfery being involved in only a small fraction of witchcraft trials. During the early period, accusations of lycanthropy (transformation into a wolf) were mixed with accusations of wolf-riding or wolf-charming. The case of Peter Stumpp (1589) led to a significant peak in both interest in and persecution of supposed werewolves, primarily in French-speaking and German-speaking Europe. The phenomenon persisted longest in Bavaria and Austria, with persecution of wolf-charmers recorded until well after 1650, the final cases taking place in the early 18th century in Carinthia and Styria.

I've been captivated ever since the first time I saw you
You were like a non-stop train on the move
Taking me places I never thought I'd go to
Now I realize how much I love you
Ooh...
If only I wasn't so blind, I will have you by my side
Now that were living our separate lives
I hope that true love never passed me by
Chorus
This thing of ours so beautiful never needed more
Just like a flower you did it all without touching the floor
It is what it is my love (x2)
Ah yeah
Yo Fiji I knew you'd always be the one to complete me
Since the day we met it's always been so easy
To love you up (x2)
You won my heart every time you hold me in your arms
Your tender love and charm when I look into your eyes
I recognize that our love will never die
Chorus
This thing of ours so beautiful never needed more
Just like a warrior you did it all without touching the floor
It is what it is my love (x2)
Girl... your... eyes... your... lips... your face... your touch
Down to your hips... your... legs I love so much
If loving you was wrong girl I don't wanna be right
I was in the dark until you showed me the light
Never did I think that I would experience
Something so ridiculously beautiful as you
Chorus... (x2)
