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)
