black lady

donna summer

it was bad

really mean

she had the kind of reputation to make any woman scream

late one night

when it wasn't right

and he made a catch

and he meets his match

black lady

black lady

she was mean

really bad

she was slender as a cat at night

she made the men go mad

well her eyes were green

and her skin was soft

and the lady's heart was as hard as rock

black lady

black lady

you better beware

you better beware

you better beware

he tried to fight it

tried to win

but no matter where the poor man turned

the lady halted him

her wish was his command

his life in her hands

and the death was slow

'cause she won't let go

oh

black lady

that black lady

she tried to win

tried to buy

she was out over him

'cause he played all the cards just right

he laid out his hand like a winning man

with a smile so deep

she put him into a sleep

you know she won

black lady

black lady

you better beware

you better beware

black lady

you better beware

black lady

black lady

black lady
