Lyrics Addicted to Black - Don McLean

Addicted to Black

Yeah, I’m addicted to black
Addicted to black
Addicted to wearing black on my back
It was good enough for Cisco
Good enough for Lash
Good enough for Hoppy
Good enough for Johnny Cash
Yeah, I’m addicted to black
Addicted to black
Addicted to wearing black on my back
You’ll be as black as the bird
Where none is the word
It’s easy to hide
With black as your guide
Black makes me look thin
It makes me look «in»
It makes me look down when I’m not (it's hot)
On the odd holiday
Well, I might try some gray
But I always come back
Cause I’m addicted to black
Yeah, I’m addicted to black
Addicted to black
Addicted to wearing black on my back
It was good enough for Cisco
Good enough for Lash
Good enough for Hoppy
Good enough for Johnny Cash
Yeah, I’m addicted to black
Addicted to black
Addicted to wearing black on my back
You’ll be as black as the bird
Where none is the word
It’s easy to hide
With black as your guide
Black makes me look bad
It makes me look mad
It hides all the dirt and the dust (it's a must)
If I’m happy in light
Well, I might try some white
But I stay right on track
And addicted to black
Yeah, I’m addicted to black
Addicted to black
Addicted to wearing black on my back
You’ll be as black as the bird
Where none is the word
It’s easy to hide
With black as your guide
Black makes me look wise
It brings out my eyes
It always insures I have flair (do your hair)
If my girl is in pink
Well, that might cause me to think
But I stay right on track
And addicted to black
Yeah, I’m addicted to black
Addicted to black
Addicted to wearing black on my back
You’ll be as black as the bird
Where none is the word
It’s easy to hide
With black as your guide
Yeah, i’m addicted, i’m addicted, i'm addicted, addicted to black (x3)
