Words and music BY Amy Ray 

She brings me Spanish Clementine
I eat them by the waterside
Throw the peels and taste the clean
How could I still feel so mean 

Take this meanness out of me
Take this meanness out of me
Take this meanness out of me 

Oh whoa whoa
Oh whoa whoa
Oh whoa whoa 

I got a black heart today
No amount of kindness'll turn it the other way
Even the dogs are tired of me
Howling at the trees 

Take this meanness out of me
Take this meanness out of me
Take this meanness out of me 

Oh whoa whoa
Oh whoa whoa
Oh whoa whoa 

I got a black heart today
(Ooh)
(I got a black heart today)
I got a black heart today
(Ooh)
(I got a black heart today)
I got a black heart today
(Ooh)
(I got a black heart today)
I got a black heart today
(Ooh)
(I got a black heart today)
I got a black heart today
(Ooh)
(I got a black heart today)
I got a black heart today
(Ooh)
(I got a black heart today) 

Oh whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
