| I don’t want you to hold me tight
|
| Till you’re mine to hold
|
| And I don’t even want you to stay all night
|
| Just until the moon turns cold
|
| All I need is black roses
|
| White rhythm and blues
|
| And somebody who cares when you lose
|
| Black roses, white rhythm and blues
|
| You say that somebody really loves you
|
| You’d find her if you just knew how
|
| But honey, everyone in the whole wide world
|
| Is probably asleep by now
|
| And they’re dreaming of Black roses, white rhythm and blues
|
| And somebody who cares when you lose
|
| Black roses, white rhythm and blues
|
| Close your eyes
|
| Sleep away all your blues
|
| I’ve done everything but lie
|
| Now I don’t know what else I can do Ah, the night time sighs and I hear myself
|
| But the words just stick in my throat
|
| Would you think that somebody like me Might hurt much more than it shows
|
| Just send me black roses
|
| White rhythm and blues
|
| And somebody who cares when you lose
|
| Black roses, white rhythm and blues
|
| Black roses, white rhythm and blues |
