Lyrics

[Verse 1] How can you say that you love me When you never look me in the face? How can you say that you need me When you've been messin' 'round all over the place? I went downtown yesterday And I was walkin' in the marketplace All the women, they laughed at me They whispered that I was a disgrace [Verse 2] You've been out all night drinkin' again You never even bother to call Been crossin' blades with God knows who You're headed for your rise and fall Sooner or later I'll wake up And rub the sleep out of my eyes Later that day when you wake up You'll be in for a big surprise [Chorus] Oh, black one white to black Black one white to black (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) Black one white to black Black one white to black Black one white to black! (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) Black one white to black Black one white to black [Verse 3] You talk about yourself all night When really, you are such a bore You give me flowers to my face Behind my back you call me a whore I've had enough of your God knows what I think it's time for you to leave I've forgiven you too many times before This time you get no reprieve [Verse 4] The bed's too big without you But I suppose it'll have to do Better to lay in an empty bed Than to spend another night beside you People talkin' all over town About the way you've been puttin' me down People talkin' all over town They don't wanna see you around [Chorus] Oh, black one white to black Black one white to black (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) Black one white to black Black one white to black Black one white to black! (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) Black one white to black Black one white to black [Interlude] [Chorus] Oh, black one white to black Black one white to black (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) Black one white to black Black one white to black Black one white to black! (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) Black one white to black Black one white
