Black And Blue

Feelin' light and low

Like nothin I've felt before

My woman is black, but now she's blue

And I'm wonderin just what to do

(the day is new)

A motor-city love affair

In the heat of the night

A woman dark and debonair

Too hard to resist

The moment you've kissed

Feelin' good, feelin' down

Repercussions of a heavy heart

(torn apart)

The summer night is hot

But soon turns cold

Like a winter's song

(when something's wrong)

Oh lady black! please don't be blue

Wash the midnight with the morning dew

(the day is new)
