"Black And Blue" lyrics

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)
