Feelin light and low
Like nothin Ive felt before
My woman is black, but now shes blue
And Im 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 youve kissed
Feelin good, feelin down
Repercussions of a heavy heart
(torn apart)
The summer night is hot
But soon turns cold
Like a winters song
(when somethings wrong)
Oh lady black! please dont be blue
Wash the midnight with the morning dew
(the day is new)
