I can't explain exactly what I'm doing standing in the rain Don't do it for fun Do it if you feel it Kiss it on the tongue I'm taking my thoughts to a railway station Put 'em on a train just to see what's coming back What's coming back It's coming like a heart attack Ice melts too fast So nothing stays forever nothing's gonna last She's dressed in black A black that ends in nowhere and I just got to have her back And I'm television sick and I'm television crazy No one works so hard just to make me feel so bad I'm feeling bad Oh that's too sad Hey. Hey. Hey. She's as mean as mean. Hey. Hey. Hey. She's as black as black. Hey. Hey. Hey. She's as mean as mean. Hey. Hey. Hey. She's as black as black. Hey. Hey. Hey. I got to get her back. Hey. Hey. Hey. I got to get her back. Hey. Hey. Hey. I got to get her back. Hey. Hey. Hey. She's as mean as mean. Hey. Hey. Hey. She's as sick as sick. Hey. Hey. Hey. She's as cool as cool. Hey. Hey. Hey. She's as black as black.
