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)
