Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Black-hearted woman, can't you see your poor man dyin'?
I can't count on both hands, baby, all the lonely nights I've been cryin'
Well, I'm tired of all your slippery ways, I can't take your evil lyin'
Oh no
[Verse 2]
Black-hearted woman, seems trouble and pain is all you crave
Black-hearted woman, seems trouble and pain is all you crave
Sometime thinking I'll be much better if I was stiff down in my grave
I just can't stay
Yeah
[Instrumental]
Yesterday, I was your man, but now you don't know my name
Yesterday, I was your man, but now you don't know my name
Well, I'm going out to find a new way, baby, oh, to get back into your game
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 3]
One of these days, I'm gonna catch you with your back-door man
One of these days, yeah, I'm gonna catch you with your back-door man
I'll be moving on down the road, pretty baby, ah, to start all over again
Ah, yeah
Yeah
[Instrumental]
Oh no
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
